Show real revamp

Work has not been following my way so I took a look over why that might be and what I could change to help. So I looked at and revamped my Show Reel to really show off my talents with some new material as well as some classics.

Where does the time go??

Well, I havnt fallen off the face of the planet, yet anyway. I have been finding it hard to fit in working on maya bits inbewteen working all the hours I can get at my currnet job, (of which the season is ending soon)and looking for a new job, (even if its somthing to get me through the winter.)

The last project I was working vanished from my hard drive while I was on holiday and have not since recovered any scraps of it. Strange things have happened. However not to be disheartened, I have been working on yet another indoor environment to practice my modleing, setting and lighting skills. This project is not very far along but heres a preview.




There are still plenty pf issues to fix and objects to add. Its work in progress.

A New Beginning

In resent weeks I have spent a lot of time working trying o scrape the pennys together and enjoy the summer. In the time I have spent a home I have begun a new poject to keep the creative juices flowing. Its an animation about the life cycle of a catterpillar. Here is a beginning preview to tickle the taste buds.

Abandoned Saloon Update

I havent had much timeon my hands to keep up with to much maya work with working almost full time hours and getting back in touch with friends and fam who have returned home after there time away at their unis but I have fit some in where I can. I thourght that through one of my currently rare oppotunities to use the computer I would give an update of whats been going on with my saloon, so here is a few images of where things are at.

Abandoned Saloon

Over the last few weeks I have hand my hand in a few pies, with many things going on. I have spent many hours each week at my part time job trying to get some money together, (no more student financing to fall back on all year round. I have also been helping out a friend of the family create their website, a nice new little challenge to pass some time, as well as various other day to day events. Along side all of which I have been keeping a hand in working with Maya.

I want to spend somtine working on enviroment design projects, from reading many books in my spare time I have decided to create my impression of some scenes and locations. The image below is a work in progress of an abandoned saloon bar from the book The Host, by Stephenie Meyers.
