Hre’s my latest creation. This was created and rendered in 3D Studio Max 8. The scene polygon count is 3,178. I was thinking of adding some debris to “finish it off”…maybe some on the shelf, behind the monitor, and maybe a little on the floor…I’m not sure yet. The one thing I am sure of is that it’s not the greatest since sliced bread, but it is some of my best work to date. I know, I suck…but I see myself improving slowly. For now, I consider it done.
It’s been forever since my last post…well over 2 months anyway. I’ve been trying to get through some of my higher level classes (only 3 more to go once I’ve finished the last 3 weeks of my current classes).
I don’t really have much to report back yet. I’ll have something in less than a week, I hope. While I’ve been away, I did find a pretty cool website for continuing my education after I get my Bachelor’s Degree.
Some of the stuff that the Game Institute teaches are: C++ and DirectX Programming, 3D Studio Max Artwork, Game Math, AI, and Game Physics.
I know I said I wanted to get my Master’s Degree (and I still do), but this Game Institute offers some good training in the actual development of games. Of particular interest is the 3D Studio Max courses. I can hold my own, but I still want to get better in that area. My Master’s Degree would be more focused to running a Game Studio, and not actually focused on making any game assets. In a perfect world, I’d like to do both. I’m probably just dreaming…
