END
OF YEAR OVERVIEW
Very little has happened this last couple of months due to
unforeen family issues. I have taken on as little work as
possible and as such the updates for this website have been
minimal.
I ended the year on a Lightwave note. The months of October
and Novemeber saw me working on my
Dragon project and a few other test projects to improve
modelling skills.

Race Illustrations
for Realms of Torment
Realms of Torment is a next generation MMORPG set in
a medieval fantasy world featuring 3D accelerated graphics
which take full advantage of Nvidia's geforce3 and geforce4
technology. The core of Realms of Torment is made up of
country vs country strife with RTS elements mixed in.
I have been commisioned to provide character race illustrations
for the major races in the game; Human, Elf, Orc, Angel,
Fallen One and Demon. Most of the work is being done in
ZBrush, hopefully a first!

server machine and for mail and ICQ. I put a 15" TFT
screen on it and it sets next to the 21" graphic monitor.

models and textures and Body Paint came with it.

Texturemaster review hits 3Dlinks site
The
review makes its way over to 3Dlinks..
TextureMaster
was a big help in creating this head study. I modeled it
using a basic sphere with a high mesh resolution and the
usual `draw pointer` and `move` buttons in the transform
panel.
3Dlinks
puts up a page of links to ZBrush
tips and tutorials including some provided by SGFX
