Hello folks. It's been quite a while since I've had the opportunity to post an update. I've been working very hard on my educational and career related goals. I have also been working on the various projects which I will be posting on this site when they are in presentation form. I have made a list of the various projects below.
- 3D Modeling - I have been plugging away at my character named Smirkey McDirky for quite some time now. I am currently finished with the character model and am now working on the UV layout and texturing. Once I have this character done, I will be working on some props and sets for which I will be animating Smirkey in various scenes.
- Level Editing - I have spent a great amount of time working on Left 4 Dead level editing. I am working on a project titled Dead Fortress which is a Survival Map. So far it's coming along nicely but these things take tons of time and work. I am quite picky on my work and refuse to push out unfinished and rushed concepts.
- C++ Programming - I am quite the beginner here, but have grasped many fundamental concepts that are required to move forward. So far I am quite happy with my progress and intend to use my knowledge to create basic games or mods for games. This is a work in progress which will take a lot of time but will be well worth it.
As you can see, I am working on a good amount of things in my spare time. All this will make me a more rounded and defined guru of gaming. It's quite a passion of mine. In fact, I have been reading Masters of Doom lately which tells the story of John Carmack and John Romero (the two Johns) and their beginnings. It's quite inspiring and I recommend you read it.
I will post more updates as things progress. I will be working on some screenshots when I am ready to show off my work.
