My Bio
I am a 25-year-old college graduate who has spent a very very large sum of money to go to an expensive college and study art and architecture... and invariably, ended up broke and living back by the college I so badly wanted to just leave behind but now actually miss attending. Exciting, I know. I've finally reached escape velocity and landed in Brighton, MA, where I'm continuing my search for work. My degree, for those who are interested, is a BS in Architectural Building Sciences from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY.
I'm dying to find a "real" job with 3d art... though I know my skills are far too lacking for such a thing. Lots of practice and portfolio building ahead, it seems.
I love 3d modeling, and I love to doodle. Coincidentally, art will be put up here fairly regularly which might just be involving 3d art or doodles.

Batch render all day, every day.

Finally! After far, far too long of a time, I have reached the point where I can render my spaceship model to video. I've spent the past week or so doing some camera batch-renders that I'm trying to choose between, and once I can decide on certain light levels and render specs, I'll be running the actual camera passes in long, back-to-back batches.
The big thing I'm trying to decide is the frame rate and resolution for the renders - I'm stuck between either 24fps or 30fps, and either 480p or 720p. I want to use 720p30, but the total render time for all camera passes will be between 50 and 60 days! If I lower it to 720p24, I'd drop the ti

Early summer update
0 min read
So, it's been a long time as usual, and I think this is a rather important update. Hopefully someone actually reads these... I don't think anyone has ever commented so I'm not quite sure.
I've decided to cut short my spaceship modeling project, for the sake of my sanity and my portfolio. It's been years since I started this thing, and it's been nothing but a humongous pain from the point I decided to make it an "official" portfolio piece. I made a lot of mistakes early on and never really corrected them, and it has made the design process extremely rough at this point. On top of that, my lack of formal training in lighting, texturing, an

February-March Update
0 min read
An update for all of you who are wondering where I've been!
I finally got a job at an office doing data entry, through a temp agency. The place is great and I'm earning good money, but this also means less time for art at home. I'm still working hard when I can, and when I make solid progress, I'll upload some new stuff. I'm gonna upload two new renders once I'm done typing this journal, and hopefully by the end of the month there'll be more. My new doodle project is underway as well, and maybe I'll post some teaser photos in the next week or two as well! :"3
As always, thanks to all those who are watching me and commenting on my work.
