Whats new with me?…

Richard Beard — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 00:09:19 +0000

Got a new job as a CGI Artist at iSiteTV. So have been very busy moving house and settling in to my new place.
Unfortunately this has left me with little time to post/work on anything to post on my website atm but updates will come soon.
I am still endevouring to continue my work as Weapons Modeller for the CSPromod team, fitting it in whenever I have a spare hour. This is something that is very inportant to me and my passion and desire to one day work in the games industry.
On a very happy note seen some of my assets imported and working in game over the last week or so. So there will be some fun things for me to post regarding that in the near future.

Okay so its been a little while since I posted pics and updates.
Mainly because I have been working on about 5 different projects all at the same time.
So heres the main things that are new:
1: Finished and tweaked final images from personal farscape project.
2: Done allot of work on CSPromod so as soon as content is released as part of the upcoming mod version, I will be able to post images of the assets I have created. So check back for that.
3: Also done some other smaller projects on the side which I have uploaded images of.

Have been very busy and have not got round to posting any updates for a while. So lets me tell you what happening for me at the moment….

Firstly my Farscape project as seen in the WIP section is very near completion with environment to match. As soon as I get some nice renders out you can hope to see them on here soon.

Secondly I have also joined the mod team creating CSPromod (Counter-Strike Promod) I will be working for them initially as a weapon modeller and hope to move into other areas as well in the future.
I would just like to thank all the support from the CSPromod community for giving me such a walm welcome to the team.

Update!

Okay, haven’t posted in a while and just wanted to post an update on what I have been up to since my last post.

Just a few weeks ago my computer developed major problems and even with the large amount of backups I keep I still lost about four months work
But on the lighter side of the news I have once again been working for an architects firm, doing more architectural visualization for their clients.

As well as all this going on I have also started to learn Blender, a free open-source piece of 3D software. Which must have one of the least intuitive interfaces of all time. But once you get used to it its quirks its pretty good and I am always willing to support open-source projects.
