Unplanned Break

Okay, so I must apologize for missing the past few posts.  However, all you missed in those would have been excuses.  Things along the line of work is hectic, need to study, need to read would have filed those posts.  Similar to what Life is doing to this post.  However, I do have a bit to show, so with further ado, what I have been toying around with.

I know this is nowhere near done.  In fact, it is nowhere near where I would even want to present it.  However, it has been quite a bit of time since I posted any modeling images, and so I wanted to show a bit of work.  Granted it is completely unrelated to the project at hand, but I thought it was cool looking.  Besides its interesting look, there are several aspects which make this piece interesting to me.  First is the mixture of organic and hard surface modeling, a blend I would like to incorporate into my game models.  The main body is organic in nature while other aspects like the pulley and arm are closer to hard surface modeling.  Also, since the body has several cut-outs inside the shape, I felt those would make an interesting look while providing a decent deal of complexity.  Obviously this model is nowhere near complete, missing many of the attachments in addition to the lower arm.

I am not even going to guess what the next week will bring, so until next time,

Oops

I accidentally missed a couple of posts there.  Not that I had anything to really share, but I do try not to miss them now that I am only doing one a week.  I have hit a bit of a road block with my contest entry, so bad I do not know if it is going to be a salvageable project with what I have coming up.  Outside of the little 3D modeling work I have been doing, life has been very hectic of late.  Between work going nuts, a visit from a relative who has been on another continent most of the last 18 months, and my exam coming up, I have made almost no progress in anything.  The good news is most of that should be wrapping up in the next week, not that I want to see my relative go back but the other two points.  So what does this mean for the immediate future: not much will get done this week.  Hopefully work will be sorted out Monday or Tuesday. My relative departs Thursday morning.  My test is Saturday morning.  With overtime likely this weekend and almost guaranteed the following, April is pretty much a wash for anything productive.  I hope I am wrong, at least enough to get a few work-in-progress images to show, even if they are unrelated to the game.  Well, I think that is enough talk of nothing, until next post,
