I game across this home brew Sonic game titled "Sonic Revolution". It's all over YouTube, if you're curious. Anyways, It sparked my interests seeing as it had a lot of potential being a game that was built from the ground up, and not a mod. So I sent in my portfolio to Spiderbyte Games, which caught the attention of one of the team founders.

Appearantly the project was (basicly) dropped, seeing as nearly all team members had bailed. I was told if I could animate, I've got the spot and he might revive the project. Needless to say, he liked a couple samples I sent.
So, I spent 3 weeks re-learning Blender and completing the animation list, which I turned in nearly a month ago, and haven't gotten a response back. I've tried contacting him through several means.. but nothing.


This leads me to my rant... Im sick of people showing interest in what I do, then bailing or completely stopping communication when I've done my part. It's damn near impossible to find people dedicated to anything anymore.

No more mod teams -everyone knows 99% of mods never get finished-, no more teams that are barely to the concept art stage, and no more joining teams with guys under 20 years of age.
Unfortunately, that leaves no one else except big name businesses. Hah

So for now, Im going to stick with rebuilding this old '67 Ford Galaxie 500 that's sitting in the garage.

Ill upload the animations soon.

Go here for my GameTZ listing:
[link]

Ive been a member for 8 years, so it's a very reliable site. If I don't have what you're looking for, someone else will.

As for me.. if anyone really wants to know - Still haven't been able to find work, and my car is getting repossessed, making it more difficult to find work outside this small town. I honestly don't know where to go from here. On the art related side - I picked up a project before I decided to take this "hiatus" of sorts. I'll be doing the animations (for now).
I'll keep you posted.

You won't be seeing many updates from me from now on. I can say all this without regret. I've learned a lot. Though the information I've gathered through the years has brought me no where slow, I can comfortably accept what I've done and where it has lead me.

I want to thank everyone that has supported me and taken time from their lives to teach me a thing or two.

...Time to find out where regular jerk-off jobs take me.

Next projects:

-Dr. Rockso for Unreal (he does cocaine)

(edit)-A request has been made. Brock Samson!

(edit)-I might have another commission project too

Might put these on hold. Moving to Nevada in a couple weeks.. I've been on a roll with getting characters done in under a year, I'd hate to start something then ignore it in the middle of moving.

DA's new portfolio thing is pretty good too. You can upload your resume and everything.

...I should really lay off the coffee...

Another edit - Anyone else getting Re-directed to Ad sites from DA? This is the ONLY site that been doing this for a couple weeks now. And yes, I am very aware of how to get rid of adware/spyware. So i know its not my computer, I've kept this computer and previous one clean for over 4 years, friends computers, and the rare customers. I build and repair the things, and do virus cleaning ect. It must be a DA ad partner or something. Whatever it is, it's annoying as fuck. So figure it out DA. Too my watchers, sorry for all the edits.

The guy was awsome. He left an impression in everyones mind who happened to flip through channels to find themselves mesmerized by his enthusiasm for household products...and of course the beard. He also provided us with some comedy through his image.

Hell, I've bought Oxy Clean and Orange Glow because he seemed so damn excited about it, and the products work.. to an extent.. but thats not the point! He motivated me to buy something I wouldn't normaly buy, and i'm a stubborn fool.

So...I'm Going to build a Billy Mays character for Unreal Tournament 3, maybe even an Orange Glow weapon! Cleaning up the streets one Krall at a time.

It may not be the most well written suggestion out there. But it gets the point across.

If you feel the same way, or even disagree, post your opinion.. spread the word.

The 3D section of this site is really under appreciated.

Look for work that has had some effort put into it people!

That is all.

My next project... The Mighty Monarch! -built specificly for unreal-
Gonna be a fun one.

I've found a pretty decent tutorial on importing custom characters into Unreal 3, but my lack of knowledge with 3ds has lead me to an impasse.

PS: Does UnrealEngine 3 support multi sub-materials??

....

Prototype is awsome.. go get it...hours of fun to be had.

Here's a little preview Of what I'll be doing from now on.

[link]

Watch it in high quality! I didn't record it in high quality for nothin.. or maybe i did.

Most of the buildings are assets downloaded from CryMod.com.. Im just using them as templates for city blocks. The two distant skyscrapers I made myself.
Still trying to figure out the best way to UVmap larger buildings.. I suck with architecture.

Blender, Cinema 4d, and Zbrush were taken in pretty easily in under 30 video tutorials. Unlike 3DS max or Maya

Cinema 4D's interface is so self explainitory.. You've got your object heirachy, and material area. Everything is oganized in front of you. You click something, its properties show up in the bottom right corner.

Maya I was barely able to get down, If it wasn't for the Object Outliner, and repeat last tool used hotkey (Extrude should be assigned to a key autodesk!) I would have gone berzerk in my Maya class.

Now im trying to focus on 3DS max.. because it's an industry standard, and has plugin support for most game engines.
I've watched at least 30 video tutorials... basicly all the modeling techniques you can use in any other program get thrown out the window when it comes to MAX. Is there even an Outliner/Object Heirachy in max??

Someone for the love of all thats holy and 3d, explain to me 3DS's way of organizing-grouping-connecting-parenting objects in a scene!





And why the F*** does Shift duplicate???

- The student can expect an increase in the per credit hour rate at LEAST once per year, which will increase the total amount for the program. (in bold print)

...Estimated total tuition cost $93,036.00

This is for the Art Institute of Sacramento.
I quit my job, and move back with my parents and find out any hope of getting a degree in game art design is absolutely absurd. Now, I knew these schools were bogus after seeing comercials.. but after a two hour interview, I see that it's just a get rich quick sham to lure "gamers" into thinking they can land a job in game design.

Honestly, i'm not going to put myself $100,000* in the hole for something I can learn through the internet.

If i'm ever to be hired for any sort of position of game developement, it's going to be for my talent/skill. Not an over priced degree. Shame on these schools for preaching otherwise.

No more clinging onto old projects in this empty hope i'll finish them some day.

My new goal/plan for projects now - If I start something, I'm finishing it, or trashing it. If its in my compute for more than a month, it's instant garbage. I will not start a second project, and will treat each as the first and last project.

Sounds solid enough to me.. Now to go through with it.

-Also- Western Digital Mybooks are pieces of shit. Put the extra couple bucks into a better external that wont die in a year.

I do miss my music and games though...

I'll start off in a bit of a rage to calm myself down..
I haven't had the time to really complete ANYTHING recently, working 40+ hours a week in a grocery store that just seems to suck the life and creativity (if you could call it that), right out of me every day. Then coming on here and seeing people post the most beautiful/complicated pieces i've seen since thier last post, that only took them 2 hours to 2 days of work.

I find myself not being able to afford the time to sit down look for internet tutorials. For some reason i saw 3D art as this infinite freedom i could roam around in...look around in. I want it to be my life, but it's an impossible dream... there's too many people out there that have more expirience with these programs in a shorter amount of time, and can create stuff i cant even dream of. As horrible as it sounds, I envy these people.

Don't get me wrong, I love 3D art.. I don't think i could ever give it up. But nothing has improved.. if anything it takes more time to get something half-way done, then realize is looks like utter shit, that i'm too deep into too fix it, or start over.
Everything i've done is just a remake of someone elses work anyways.. I fear I lack imagination.

I do lack imagination...

Got a job.
Was bagging groceries, but then promoted to Deli clerk, this week.
Work has been taking most of my time, and the time im not at work i want to just relax and play games.

Im so out of practice with zbrush and C4D now, so the other night i opened up zbrush to just get some quick sculpting done, and this is what come out of 1.5 hours.

[link]

Just went through all my messages.. sorry if i skipped anything, between the new DA and the cluster fuck of messages...it happens.

Still working on Boba Fett.

Oh yeah.. also had to reformat my computer 3+ times since last update.. so i have no idea what projects im missing or what i managed to save on my external.. we'll see.

Gears of War 2 is coming out soon... looks fucking intense.

Jacking someones unsecure wireless connection (hard to stay connected)
Bare with me.. might be awhile before i have a decent connection.

Why do they have to be pussies about the stupid shit they do?

Just a bit pissed if you couldn't tell.
Some dumbasses just broke my bedroom window with a glass bottle. Then took off like bitches.. spent about an hour searching around the neighborhood for the fuckers.

My neighborhood is full of wannabe Norteño idiots. Us being white in a mexican neighbor makes us a prime target for vandalism and theft.
Couple weeks ago our house was egged. Just over a year ago some dumb 12 year olds thought they were going to break in at 4 in the morning.. lucky my brother and I tackled them and had them arrested. But no such justice this time around, thats what bugs me.

I'm glad i'm moving in a day. Will never see this place again.

The thermal compound for the heatsink isn't compound anymore.. it's dust (hah!). I supose thats what i get for never turning it off -_-.

Deffinalty need more thermal compound, no money though... if that doesnt solve the problem it could be the power supply going out -again-. If worse comes to worst, it could be my motherboard acting up.

uhhh...

EDIT: New thermal compound fixed the problem. Now my CPU temp averages at 47-48c. Was 60c

Newest to oldest (i think. hah)

Klaymen Animated short - Klaymen model 100% done. Stage 50%. Animation 0%.

Army of Two mask- 85% done- might as well finish it.

Leon - was to 80% but took a drop to about 60% to redo the UV layout and textures

Saracen Assasin (face and body) - 55% needs a whole new head. Some better boots. Accessories. Was a high priority model, but i've put it on hold to brush up on anatomy and learn the game-pipeline workflow.

Swords and stuff for the game - 1% .. there's going to be alot.

Hyundai Elantra 03 - 35% ...it gains like 2% every 6 months. hah. Probably won't get done.

Shadow the Hedgehog - 0% File was erased long ago due to a few HD failures. I plan to keep it erased.

I'll be moving to Monterey, near the end of May. I don't know how much computer / 3D time i'll have after that. So we'll see what becomes of these works in progress. Hopefuly I'll get some of them done before the moving happens.

Anyone have any knowledge of the nextgen game pipeline? Perferably the Unreal Engine 3. I'm looking for information from building a model creating shaders(important) for said model bringing it into the engine and setting up a scene for real time previews. Just to get an understanding of the workflow before building a PC to even handle the engine.

As soon as I notice that my 3D work has improved, it's still rubbish compaired to anyone on cgsociety.org or zbrushcentral . I've got some sort of block keeping me from creating something thats amazing. Packing as much knowledge as I can about Cinema 4d and zbrush doesn't seem to be speeding anything along.

The only way to improve is keeping cramming more info in my head. Got to get some anatomy books..

Oh yeah, Maya's interface sucks... the lack of an object heirarchy is lame (and the outliner is a poor excuse for organizing objects in a scene). The modeling tools need a real update aswell. People who use Maya on a daily basis are insane. Blender is free, and seems far more user friendly and versatile than Maya.

Any links to anatomy resorces, human face sculpting are appreciated... or even the simple, "quit being a bitch", works. Hah
