Heres a little more progress on the dinosaur (or Silosaur as I’m calling him)

I found this tutorial on Strata’s site of all places – and it’s done by none other than Glen Southern (I know, I know this site is turning into a bit of a Glen Southern appreciation society) http://www.strata.com/support/tutorials/detail/?catid=35 What I like about this tutorial is that its literally just images and text – it means if you’re… Continue reading Silosaurus

He’s got a really good approach to teaching and is obviously an incredibly talented 3D artist. I’ve never had training in any application… Continue reading Silo Training Booked

So here’s a bit more on the bugapillar model – not much more progress but I’m trying to be a bit more active on this blog…
