3D

3D Modelling can be a very tasking and brain hurting thing to do. I decided one day I would give it a go, not to make money from it or a career, but purely as a hobby. To make models of something, interior, exterior, or even gadgets such as tv's, phones etc would be good.

I have had SketchUP and IndigoRender for a while now as I know sketchup is an easy tool to use. I simply did some text in it, changed the material of it to a red plasticy look on Indigo and rendered it. Here it is, my gf's name.

I decided that SketchUP wouldn't get me far with this, as it is easy, but when it comes to certain shapes, etc it's a lot more hassle than other software. I don't have the money to splash out on such programmes as Maya, 3DS Max, Cinema 4D etc, so I am now going to try and learn Blender. See how that goes.. i'll update as i go along.

Tilt Shift Photography

Well, I was roaming around on the web earlier today and saw TiltShift photography and decided to read up a bit about it. It is simply turning one of your photographs into a model looking photo. Obviously, people that do this alot, are incredible with their outcomes.

For instance, check this one out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewpanshin/5745618515/in/pool-59319377@N00/

Now, here is a photo I took a year ago, in Spain and I thought I would give it a go. Personally, it was the wrong photo to try this with, but as a first decided to go along with it anyway.
