The beginning

Without further ado, here's to the future of this blog and more or less my journey in computer graphics. Now, I'm not coming from a whole lot of graphics background actually. I graduated recently with a bachelors in Computer Science but a little more than a year and a half ago was my first real introduction to animation and ever since then I've decided it's my passion for a career. I've only taken basically two classes in 3d modeling and everything else has been me studying on my own, so it's been a little difficult at times when I was trying to finish my Computer Science degree and study animation on my own at the same time. I also took a couple machinima classes in school but that was ummmm.....not quite the computer graphics that I'm passionate about, although it was loads of fun! Then for my senior project me and a few buddies created a Half-Life 2 DeathMatch mod. That too was fun, as I created the entire map and different effects during gameplay. I ended up bringing a Master Chief model I created into the mod too, which was pretty exciting. But lo and behold it's time for me to move on and so in some spare time I've almost thrown together a demo reel and I'll have to update my resume so hopefully here soon I can get working in the computer graphics industry.

Keep on keepin' on
