Personal Development Update: 3

Since my last personal development update I completed my art test for Vertex Solutions and accepted a job offer from them. I'm continuing to chip away at modeling the Kaneda motorcycle as a portfolio piece. Currently I'm focusing on the seat and how it connects to the main chassis of the bike. As far as Blender goes, I've completed most of the tutorials I wanted to get through as far as learning the modeling tools. I feel pretty competent in the software as a whole but the snapping and pivot system still feels odd and sluggish to me. I'm considering picking another small piece to model in Blender so that I can get more comfortable with it. I'm continuing to watch Simon Fuch's modeling tutorial in Blender to see if I can pick up on any more work flow tips.

 

 

 

Personal Development Update: 2

Last week I was offered to do an art test and interview with a Mil Sim company called Vertex Solutions. Currently, my primary focus is finishing up making a suppressor for the art test. I've also been slowly chipping away at the Kaneda bike model as well as Blender tutorials. I don't have much to show on the Blender side of things but I've made a lot of progress. I finished the entire Flipped Normals intro to Blender tutorial and now I'm watching Simon Fuch's tutorial on modeling a drone in Blender. I've spent a lot of my time remapping hotkeys and customizing the UI to prepare for an efficient future workflow.
