Water Tower

I have been following a tutorial on CGTuts about making and texturing a Water Tower..  It has been very interesting and whilst completing it, I have also learnt a new technique for adding slight detail to models.. The Push/Pull tool.  Here is my model..

Job Hunting

Hey guys and gals, I feel I am getting closer to the prize of working full-time in the 3D industry.  Last month I worked for Autonomy, on a iPhone app and met some lovely people, after that I worked for SquareZero in Shoreditch as an Intern where I learnt quite alot about Animator and their habits.  Anyway, this all helps look good on your CV and I managed to get an interview at Bionic in Pinewood Studios, where fingers-crossed, I might get a full-time job.  Just waiting to hear back..  In the meantime I am continuing on with my Submarine project and Water Tower - texturing project plus applying for more jobs.. I will keep you posted.

Life..

Well my firends, how have you been? I knew I called this blog 'Freelancing' for a reason.. the freelancing job windmill has been busy.. I know no longer work at Autonomy due to the company stressing a focus on the need for experienced Animators, even though none look to be in place within the foreseeable future, and my work taking as long as others..  what were they thinking in hiring 6 3D generalists in the first place?  I guess the fact I was costing more than my colleagues was an issue but a cheap one if that.  Nevermind, the placement at SquareZero is now my priority and I have heard that I may start next week..  Until then, I plan on finishing my Man O'War Submarine.  Yesterday I completed a tutorial on creating water, and tried to crack the reactor tool in order to get realistic water movement.  Today I have been editing the Sub textures, adding more detail, here are my results..

Submarine, Kill count.  Think the symbols have come up really well.

Update..

Hello my fellow bloggers, its been a long time since my last and a lot has happened.  I did not get the Lizlake job but I did get the opportunity to work as a contract animator at Autonomy in London and that is where I am now.  Long days but well worth it and coincidentally I have managed to secure an Internship with SquareZero, also in London when I finish my contract.  So now you must understand why I haven't written sooner.
