Hello again one and all

Well theres been some interesting things happening in work recently. Back when i went down to the BETT conference i met the CEO of a company called 3Ducation, which sells 3D projectors and 3D learning materials to schools. After discussing some of the technical information and expressing interest in getting involved we exchange business cards and parted ways. A month or so later and he actually got in contact with the company, and it looks like it'll actually be going ahead which is amazing! I feel quite proud that I managed to bring this work to the company (being just a lowly placement student and all), plus i'm really happy because it means i get to use my 3D skills that i've spent the last 2 years learning in a real commercial situation.

There are however a few little problems with all this, firstly i'm not used to creating 3D stuff thats just going to be prerendered and used as a video, i'm used to working within the limits of game hardware because in games everything has to run in realtime, so i'll have to make everything more detailed. The other problem I have is that i'm used to using Autodesk Maya for creating 3D stuff, but the only software my company could get hold of is 3D Studio Max, which in all fairness is just as good as Maya, its just that they are 2 different programmes with different tools and a different interface etc so i'm currently spending quite a lot of time working out how to use the blasted thing! To do this i'm currently modelling and texturing a tachikoma from the anime series Ghost in the Shell. [link]

Right i think that'll wrap up the work section of this Journal otherwise its going to be uber long!

So in other news myself, my workmate Andy, and a couple of my game artist friends from Derby Uni are hopefully going to be creating an Xbox Live Arcade game. Currently we have a game idea which i'm going to keep a secret for now, and we are discussing the ins and outs of the design at the moment. Once Andy returns from his holidays in Turkey we should be able to start making it. I'm not sure yet if we will be asking another programmer to come in on this yet, but it might well be helpful.

Thats'll do for now anyway

Sure, my email is art@mairperkins.co.uk :) Just send me the details of the dates, place, time, number of guests and anything else relevant then I'll work out the costs. I would really like to draw at your wedding but I'll just have to figure the practicalities out first.
