Hi.

I'm the kind of gamer who doesn't really have enough time to play games all that often. So I guess that kind of makes me a "causal gamer". BUT, I not really a casual gamer in the sense that all I play is games for 4 year olds. I like playing hardcore games like Ninja Gaiden (Xbox & NES) and Metal Slug 3 (If you want to tell me that playing the last level on the Xbox version, AKA no continues mid-level, is not not hard, I will fight you). So in that sense, I'm kind of a "hardcore-ish" gamer. In conclusion, I guess what I'm really trying to say is I hate pigeon-holing things and I'm a "casually hardcore" gamer, if such thing exists.

Between my brother and I, we have amassed this collection of platforms: PC, NES, SNES, N64, Dreamcast PS2, XBOX, Gamecube, GB (the giant gray brick edition), GB Color, GBA SP, DS Lite, and Wii. I have never gotten rid of a console, and don't plan to. I kind of like having a quasi-museum.

The system I hold dearest to my heart would probably be my SNES. I grew up watching my brother play through RPG classics like Chrono Trigger, FF III (AKA FF VI), and EarthBound. So when I go back and play those games, I get kind of nostalgic. This would also explain why my favorite game of all time is EarthBound.

If it's not obvious at this point, I have always played consoles more than I have my PC, but that doesn't mean that I don't play it. 'Cuz I do. Look for me on Steam. My name is the exact same as it is here. Nubc4kes.

So after seeing JACK of No Trades' posts of making cool 3D models, I thought I'd give it a try.

So I went and got a copy of Blender and learned how to use it. It took awhile to get the hang of it, but I had fun doing it. Here's my first little model I made:





The image lost a lot of quality between the original rendering and when it got up on the web. Not sure how to fix that one... Anyways, that's all I got. I'll probably try and do something a little more complex when I get some more time on my hands :)



Is this blog awesome? Vote it up!

Woo Darwinia reference FTW
Darwinia. I see what you did there.
considering the original render was a 3d model of the mona lisa, I'd say you definitely lost some quality on that.

lulz aside, darwinia ftw.
Darwinia, Nice!
Jack is helping?
I...
Hey I learned 3D with blender - that's awesome, keep it up. a lot of people take one look at the interface and run away screaming, but once you learn it I think it's faster than maya in terms of workflow. Have you been to the "blender noob to pro" wikibook? that literally has every tutorial ever made for blender on it, you can spend weeks going through them, and they're fun. If you have any questions I'd be happy to help, also the blender forums at www.elysiun.com are incredibly helpful

also don't worry about the fact few professional companies use blender. if you want to do it as a career blender lays the foundation for all other programs, it's just a matter of figuring out the ui

if anybody wasn't already aware, I am a huge nerd
are you gonan maek games for ps4?@!
@Bahamut

Thanks for the info! The "blender noob to pro" was the first guide I stumbled on and it was SOOO helpful. I'm still kind of reading through it, but everything I have read thus far has been pure gold. Also, I'll definitely have to check out elysiun.com. The more help I can get the better.

@bottled dark

You better believe it :P
