Good start to the week.

My marketing package arrived today, it looks great! I hope my business cards will make it in time, they are suppose to arrive the day of my portfolio presentation, I have my fingers crossed that they'll be here in the morning.

Extra awesome news! My chess render was accepted in the Showcase Gallery over at CGSociety. I would ogle over the pieces there and now to be among the ranks just feels good.

Next up my demo reel is posted and this is the one that will go with me to presentation. Below is the Blogger version. Higher quality version can be seen at Vimeo

New version of my creek

New website

After years of neglect I finally have a website for myself over at www.dragon-realm.net.

Supporting Open Source

I am an advocate of open source software. The ones I use the most are Linux, Blender, Inkscape, along with numerous others. Blender Foundation is starting its next open source project Durian. This will focus on creating and shoring up Blenders tool for visual effects. In order to help they are doing a dvd campaign. It is $40 for the dvd's. Included will be the movie in HD, all of the project files, making of, art work, interviews, tutorials, etc... also being named in the credits...well worth the price. If anyone is interested in supporting the Durian project go to this link.

Animation

Using the rig from Big Buck Bunny...this is a playblast just a simple output to see how timing is before final animation which I will do this weekend.
