Ok so it all started with a change of heart. I got stuck in what some may call a bit of a rut, and needed a drastic lifestyle change. I eventually enrolled onto a computer games design course on no more than a whim and a love for playing computer games, for which i can honestly say i had never imagined myself pursuing a career in the games industry. And what a gut instinct it has proven, i had never appreciated what went on behind a game, weve been modelling our first assignment for no more than 5 weeks now and im loving every minute of it. It has changed my entire perspective on life, ordinary mundane objects are now endless possibilities for incoproration in games. When i was at college, i had conversations about how good it would be to go paintballing around my college, i think in the near future i may be able to bring that to life by creating a playable level for the unreal or source engine.Ive spent some time researching into the games industry and all the different sectors there are, i can safely say i want to be a character artist or modeller, maybe with the possibility of texturing also, depending on my ability. I have a couple of companies in mind for the future, but i wont get ahead of myself just yet.
I started this blog to form a kind of online journal of my weekly workings, new techniques, problems i encounter and the solution i used, albeit some may not be the best, and i welcome any comments suggesting better alternatives. And possibly in the not so distant future ill start to post finished renders, concept art and ideas of my own and any other work i may be doing at the time. As the first assignment is already a few weeks underway, im having to play a spot of catch up. I'll try to keep a running theme of concise techniques outlined with the occasional screenshot dotted about.
right then now you have my lifestroy lets get to it..
