Well a lot has changed since my last post! I ended up getting a job at Full Sail University, which is the school I received my BS in Computer Animation from, in Winter Park, FL. I am working as a Lab Specialist for a class called 3D Foundations or 3DF for short. It is the first class our students have working with Maya. So far it is going good and I am enjoying being back around people who love CG and 3D Arts. It has re-motivated to learn my craft and create new art pieces.
Working and living in Florida this time around definitely has been a different experience than compared to when I was a student at Full Sail. As a student the curriculum is very demanding than what it might be at your typical University. So this time around when I am not working I can take the time to enjoy myself and surrounding a bit more.
Since being back I decided to start working on an environment model that I had been wanting to do. It is of a Victorian style home that is located in Cape May, NJ. This area has a lot of old homes with unique styles about them. Below is a picture of the house I will be working on. I may do the surrounding houses as well since they are similar in design with slight modifications. Also below is a screen grab of my blockout for the environment. The hardest part of working on an environment is getting your camera setup with your image in the proper location and focal lenghth. I am further along then the blockout stage but I will post those images later on when I have slightly more done.
