The Next Step

Thu May 22, 2008, 7:44 AM
I've recently come to the conclusion that, most of the work I've made so far is pretty similar in terms of style or complexity. This is something I think, I need to change because if it continues a certain level of boredom will be generated whilst I'm working, with never really exceeding to an even bigger potential that every person has.

My method of modeling on most of my work has been pretty similar, in most cases polygonal modeling and not really using shapes, splines, and Nurbs to the best effect that they hold. To boost my 3d-ness I just went back through a load of stuff in my book and took notes on all the different approaches to modeling, which will be really helpfull in expanding my 3d skills when used effectively.

It's not that I have a lack of ideas on what to model, its a case of how I should approach the work, and sometimes when I'm not too sure I get scared and decide to turn away from the idea. I was lying awake in bed last night thinking some stuff through when I had the idea of creating a fully life-size scene from command and conquer, buildings and units and everything like in from a persons pespective.
What I think puts me off from making such large scenes is the time it takes and whether I will mess up in the process, but I need to learn that 3d isn't just something you 'get' it's something you can never really get since it has unlimited potential and you can't create a fairly decent piece of work in a small amount of time, not that I'm saying quick models are not good, I'm saying that getting something perfect for yourself, tweaking and such can take a lot longer than it seems.

Anyway, IMO all this abstract stuff I've done recently isnt really modeling, its just kinda playing around in the 3d environment and placing objects in correspondance to others, yeh it looks good but its not really truly using the program effectively so I'm going to drop abstract soon and begin working on the more realistic side of things.

Come up for air
After a while
The current is calling me
Lulling me
Waving goodbye
I'm out here alone
Oh, God can you save me now?

What do you think of my newer stuff by the way? I got really bored of making sigs, especially cause I've been doing it for so long now. Trying to move into doing photomanips.

Well, I'll be going to university this fall, hopefully I can take a graphic design class or two. What about you? What have you been upto?

I'm in the middle of doing a diploma course in graphic design, its pretty damn neat! But a lot of my attention is focused on the 3D side of things, its just a case of merging both skills together!
