What music helps you model faster or inspires you to create?
Steve Vai, Joe Satriani . . . then, sometimes I make my own music by picking up one of the axes and playing it through headphones using a Korg PX-3 - I paid $60 for a used, abused and totally trashed axe & keep it next to my desk at work - the neck is in great shape - it's a tele-clone . . . when nobody's around, or when I close the door, I usually play through the crummy computer speakers (yechhh) . . . rock on!

. . . happy Monday . . .

. . . upload the unhappy car because i want to show his mean face
Of course - I'll just have to find that file - I work on so many different computers, it's sometimes difficult to keep up with all of these files . . .

I guess it's obvious from this one . . . yeah, I was watching Star Wars today . . .

. . . I think the last car looked like it was unhappy rather than mean . . . I wanted it to look mean, not sad . . . here's another quick front end idea - obviously, just a slight twist from earlier stuff . . .

Coming from you, that's really a very nice compliment - thank you.

I still very much enjoy jotting out these quick, very simple ideas . . .

Happy Sketching,

Brad

. . . who would guess . . . another one . . .

I really wanted to present some demos for what we do with SU in high school - and also, maybe do some 6 minute concept car demo's - CraigD was checking on this for me but I guess they didn't want me - maybe next year . . . (sigh) . . .

The last car you uploaded modified be me.
Marian, that's fantastic - I really love it.

. . . if you don't mind of course
Sure - when I model the body a little more, I'll post it - you were talking about the truck, right?

Thanks,

Brad

. . . I still don't like trucks very much, but thought this could turn into something I'd be proud to drive with say, I dunno, maybe 529 hp or so . . . yup, I could do that . . .

Thanks!

I really believe I'm just scratching the surface with this software. Every time I try something new I learn something new - how to do something better, how to define geometry easier to represent what's spinning around in my head. There's so much more to learn - so many more things to design & model.

I'm going to name my next child SketchUp . . . okay, that's going too far . . . maybe my next cat . . .

Happy Sketching,

Brad

. . . I had to explain to someone today "IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK FINISHED!!!" . . . . . . geeze, whaddayaspect in ten minutes . . . sheesh . . .

. . . hard to believe we're closing in on ten grand - who would've thought, eh . . . thanks everyone - I couldn't have gotten this far without you - still have a long way to go - still havin' a boatload of fun!

Happy Skeching,

Brad

. . . trying to get the proportions just right is really challenging . . . just a quick sketch . . . . . .

. . . last count I had 127 WIP's . . . here's one from today . . .

. . . form study . . .

. . . that's a nice creature . . . I like it . . . I'm going to show this to my wife the next time she claims I'm neglecting her because of my S/U addiction . . . thanks . . .

. . . todays work in progress . . . obviously, doing the same "follow my nose" theme . . . just for fun . . .

Happy Sketching,

Brad

. . . don't ask . . . everyone is entitled to having a bad day, right . . . . . .

. . . blah, blah, blah . . .
