No modeling the next few days.
I think I will spend a couple of days studying head topology.

Here is screenshot of a head modeling method I am trying out.
Takes less than 5 min. After I explore this method more I will explain how I did it.

Here is another pic of the head model i am working on in Blender 2.5.
I am still learning Blender and character modeling.
For me the nose was the hardest thing so far.

Modeling focus


Right now I am focused in on Character modeling.


In my last post I had stated that I may not do anymore Hexagon tutorials, I have changed my mind about that. Maybe once Hexagon gets to a more stable build, I will think about doing some tuts that are Hexagon specific. uuuummm that is a big maybe.
Well anyway I think I have plenty of time to work with Blender and concentrate on lowpoly character modeling.

Here is a face that am working on.

Yes, once again it has been much to long since my last post.
I have been waiting for the Hexagon update to come out of beta.
Seems as though it is going to be a long time before the update is ready.
  I like Hexagon really I do, but I downloaded Blender 2.5 and have not looked back.
 Blender is awesome, still lacking some features on the modeling side but very quickly becoming one of my favorite 3d apps. Blender updates and features are being actively developed all the time.
  I am looking forward to Bmesh being added.
       Not sure if I will be doing anymore tutorials for Hexagon, though after a while with Blender, I may do some Blender tutorials.
I am about 3 weeks into this Blender adventure and loving it.
 This blog may become Blender focused or maybe will start a Blender blog just don't know yet.

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"
