Off we go

Worked more on the blog. Trying to make it a motivational tool going forwards.

Still working through the the CGCookie modeling course:

• Created a very basic corridor again as I lost my previous version
• Already had the tank from earlier in the week.
• Squid creature next, the the full lab. Aim to finish this weekend.

Looking ahead the same scene is used for both the materials and texturing courses. I’m happy to leave things relatively imperfect for now and at the end of all the courses I’ll come up with a similar but not identical project to build myself from scratch.

Definitely primarily just following along with the instructor at the moment. My familiarity with the tools is improving but not my ability to create from scratch. This is expected, I plan to make a lot of smaller non-tutorial/course projects as well.

Platitudes:

Put in the hours, but don’t burn out. Aim for quality but don’t obsess over it. Be inspired by others not intimidated. The only goal is improvement, the only rival is yourself.
