3d Modeling - Teapot

It has been many years so I have touched anything in 3d. This past few months I have joined a class in 3d animating and have loved all the work. Here is a teapot that I modeled for practice. More to come…. Most will be car or house related.

Slightly Modified

I once had a professor tell me that seeing everything normal is boring and that I should look outside of the box for the answer. Well she didn’t say it like that but I know what she meant, or she might have?  Either way this is a unique way of editing a normal photo to make it into something intriguing. As promised I will be posting these fun creative ideas and junk.

Taking over

It has been a few weeks since the last class of seeing sideways. Instead of pitching this blog and letting it rot, I am refurbishing. New content will be posted a few times a week of random creative ideas, art, photography and other projects I will be working on. Stay tuned and visit regularly for new content. Thanks and please leave comments on anything you like or dislike.

Future Sidewaysers

Future people of this class. This is a class that will test your mind body and soul, you will fight until you have no breath. There are jedi challenges and hidden paths you have to take. This class is more of a mind f*ck. Really though this class will make you think more than you ever would. You will see things that you used to not see. 

Thx…

Blissful Identity

What is my bliss? I find that my bliss is driving down a road with the music going and cruising at a faster speed. For some reason I have always found it peaceful to do this especially when its a nice day and there is no one to get in my way. I decided to split up my 3 hour bliss assignment and take 1.5 hours to drive, relax and think. The other 1.5 hour I spent outside in a lawn chair listening to music and drinking a beer. I am not a spiritual person so I don’t waste my time on a spiritual vision or shit. 

   Who are you?

   What makes you who you are?

   How does this effect what you create?

I am still not sure who I am nor do I think I will know who I am anytime soon. I am me, that is what I know. What makes me who I am is the activities I do and the hobbies I have. A huge part of my life has always been automobiles, music, video games, art, and music. They make up most of my life and I find myself focusing on these topics when I create.

FeaR?

My fear is the fear of religion, conspiracy and control of what I cannot control. Religion is a huge part of my fears. When I was younger I learned about the happenings of the Jonestown Massacre or the Cult of Jim Jones. This has been a big part of my life. If my father and grandmother would have decided to continue going to his church in Indianapolis then I could have not been around. Another fear is the fear of conspiracy. The government loves to watch what we do and how we deal with situations. Sometimes they dig extra deep and find out what you have been up to.

1. Examine the situation.
    The situation in question is fear. What makes me fearful, what do I fear?

2. Formulate an experiment.
The experiment that I went after is the discussion in class, and how people respond to my fears.

3. Hypothesize the expected outcome.
    I think people will respond with some sympathy, they will maybe question my fear.

4. Conduct the experiment.
   After conducting the experiment I found that I got more responses and questions than I thought I would.

5. Observe the reaction.
    Quite a bit of people responded. Some of the people was not sure what the Jonestown was all about and how many people died in the cult.

6. Analysis of hypothesis with actual outcome.
    I got the reactions that I thought I would get. Some people had disbelief and some people had the questions on when and where this happened.

7. Propose changes to your idea based on what happened.
    I would change the details of the fear, and would have people experience my fear. If I had planned it better I would have brought in kool-ade for everyone then told my fear and see how people respond after I told them.

Fear not

The past class of Seeing Sideways we discussed fears or tried to put fear into people. There were a few of us that had not been able to go because of time running out. The discussions consisted of religion, politics, heights, and a few other personal fears. I was BORED through most of the class with religion. I am far from a religious person and I find most of the content of religious discussion to be boring. Nothing against the people who have fears toward religion or just straight religious people. I am perfectly happy with religion not being part of my discussions or life. Now for the class its self, I was thinking that this was going to be more of a put fear into other people class day which I have been known to do. Maybe I might share something personal during class when its my time to present in class or maybe ill just do a cookie cutter fear chart, who knows.

*side note*

These blogs seem like they should be a theme for a webisode series.

Voices

Monday night N385 was another hot topic night. The talk of politics, race and meaning of words made me think at certain points and then bored at points. Politics generally bore me. The talk of race made me more active. I am an open person and try not to bring the race card up at anytime. I might use words that offend the race it was meant for but not meaning it toward them.
