Hopefully by reaching this page you are either a very confident 3D modeler already or have worked through either the Nevercenter training videos or the newer Enter 3D tutorials. In this section you can find links to various projects that continue building your skills by showing you a set of project based videos. Each set covers a particular type of modeling scenario that you may be faced with.

	Create a Bugapillar creature using primitive shapes added 27.03.2010 Using a design by artist Garath Lancaster (Moopf) this videos shows how to model his Bugapillar creature in a scene using a cube and a sphere as a starting point. Software used: Silo3D, Cinema 4D, Photoshop.
	Modeling a basic character from 2D reference added 30.03.2010 This project was a commission for 'O' Studios that I did to create two 3D characters from a supplied reference. The characters have no facial details and the project is suitable for beginners.
	Box modeling a basic head. 'Little Devil 2010' added 05.04.2010 This a a repeat of a video I did some years ago. I keep getting asked for it so I thought it would be a great time to re-do it and bring it upto date. The session covers the basics of Box modeling and lasts around 2 hours.
