Started a new project this week.
Work on this project has been slow because I have started migrating over to another modeling application ( XSI from Hexagon ).

This project is something I have wanted to do for a while, a 38 cal. revolver.
Here are some some pics of the low poly cylinder.

What is going on now

Since the last time I posted anything, my hard drive went down on my pc.
I had another pc that needed work to get back online. I now am up and running again and will start modeling soon.

3d Modeling tutorials

I have no idea when I will start doing tutorials again.
To record the video tutorials I will be using two freeware apps. there may be a third one I will use but I have not tested it out yet.
For screen recording it will be camstudio which can be found here camstudio.org
I will use WinX Free AVI to FLV Converter to convert the avi to flv.
It can be found here www.winxdvd.com/avi-to-flv/
The third app.ZoomIt v4.1, I have not downloaded or tested yet.You can find more about it here Zoomit
Something else I may consider doing is posting some of my videos here on my blog.

PS Also want to give a shout out to my brother "Hey Kevin"

Wood barrel with textures

Started texture some of the models I have been working on. Here is a wood barrel the uvs were laid out using ultimate unwrap pro.

I also am doing some research on free forums. If anyone can suggest a free forum please leave a comment.

The forum focus will be on using ultimate unwrap pro and lithunwrap. if anyone is interested please leave a comment.

The 3d models I am working on

Here is a sample of some of the models i have been working on. Most of these models are close complete , modeling and uv mapping, still need to texture.

Please leave a comment I would like to know if anyone is seeing this blog.

Been a while

It has been a while since I last updated my blog, "sorry".
I do plan to start posting more often.

I have spent a lot of time lately learning uv layout and texturing.
Also have a few new 3d modeling apps.
Not sure if I will do any new tutorials anytime soon.I was working on one , but had to many other things going. My main focus right now is on modeling, uv mapping and texturing.

So stay tuned more 3d news coming.
