Hello everyone,

About Me
My name is David Hickson aka Dipingo. I have been a traditional artist (clay and paint) for many years. Moved into 3D after reading an article about Blender. I have been working in Blender for nearly 3 years now. I just can't stop learning.

My Teaching
I began teaching Blender because of the nature of Open Source and the Blender Community. Blender is much more than just a Free 3D application it is a community.

My goals
Have always been to keep the lessons as simple as I can. I formed www.Blenducation.org in hopes I could get some instructors to teach live classes via a web browser. I am 95% finished with that project.

This Project
When I heard about this project I just simply had to get involved. Plus my son loved the Guerrila<

I can't wait to get started.

Hi

I'm varomix from Mexico.

I love to share my knowledge and learn, I love to learn

I been in the business for about 10 years doing all kinds of stuff, from modeling to compositing.

I love to create an push pixels around :D

I like the philosophy of this project and all thing like this, I use linux for that reason, and I hope I can learn a lot from this and teach something.

Hi Every one,
I just wanted to drop in a little intro about myself.

I have been working computer graphics since I was 19 and working being paid for artwork and creative works since I was 14 working behind the scenes in theater productions... lighting, sets, sound, rigging.. logo design,layout, shirts etc..

I worked mostly in games and TV with a short trip to NZ to work at WETA for Two Towers.
I still teach and do on site training for studios and I have a full list of stuff on my linked in page.. Masterclasses for Autodesk, books, etc.

In short, I am very impressed with the effort and idea and quality of this site/project and have been a fan of Andrew and the Cane Toad stuff and wanted a reason to talk with him and offer my help.


Here are the sites I am keeping up at the moment...

Thanks, and I look forward to figuring out what I have to offer.

Wow, I just spent quite some time writing my introduction and the forum logged me out! Ugggghhhh...Ok.

Anyways, I'll make this quick now.

Um...I've been into CG since 2003. I really enjoy motion graphics/visual effects and animation(in particular, character animation).

This coming January(2009), I'm going to be starting my dream school, Animation Mentor(www.animationmentor.com). I'd like to eventually make some videos that teach some of the secrets I'll learn at Animation Mentor.

Presently though, I'd like to make a video about Extruding.

Although I don't have much 3d work uploaded, here's my Vimeo page: vimeo.com/user727136/videos

EDIT: I uploaded my 3d work, here's a link:

Welcome everyone, is anyone else getting this log out problem that Paul experienced? It was happened to me a lot, I thought I'd fixed it now though. I'll look into it.

*update, looks like users get logged off after 15 mins of inactivity, this is a Joomla! thing, not the forum only. I've changed that to 25 mins now. Let me know if this occurs again.

Hi guys Rob 'DaddyMack' Mack here 10 yrs in the 3d game and 10 or so more in the art game before that. I've been teaching 3d for 3 years.

I have a sound understanding of character pipeline thru design, model, uv, tex, rig, anim and render and am happy to share any and all here. I've also got about 4 yrs digital sculpting behind me and have started turning my hand to toy production from 3d characters.

Am a little awed by the people and work I see here so far and will really enjoy taking this up with you guys

Cheers
Rob

Hey everyone!

My name is Walter Yoder, but you can call me Yodez.

I have been working in 3D for about 5 years now and specialize in animation and Rigging. I have always wanted to help others get past pitfalls I am sure most of us have come across. So I think this is a great way to do that.

The videos here are great and str8 to the point. I would be interested in helping out any way I can and I have a very good understanding of Maya and creating a pipeline with it. Also character setup as well as MEL and Animation.

Take care

-Yodez

Greetings fellow humans. :)

About me:

My name is Wayne Robson, I'm 37, married with 1 kid and another on the way.

About my teaching experience:

I'm the author of 'Essential Zbrush' by Wordware, and have released 4 DVD's listed below:

Mudbox: A Practical Guide
Mudbox: Advanced Concepts
Get into Zbrush Vol 1
Get into Zbrush Vol 2

I'm currently part way through releases of 2 free video tutorial series on Mudbox for Autodesk (The 'QuickStart' videos, and the 'From The Ground Up' series). I teach mainly corporate clients and act as freelance artist and 'get us out of the shit as the deadline is 2 days away' type person. As such I have a pretty broad range of skills I can contribute..although animation is not one of them. :)

Goals:

To put as much high quality tuition 'out there' for users as I can. As only 8 years back I was homelesss its a cause close to my heart to give something back, especialy to those who may have talent but can't afford dvd's or books etc.

I also plan to be dicator of planet earth and thus consign every existing copy of 'I will always love you' by whitney houston to extermination. lol

My thoughts on the project:

Its a great contribution to those starting out and I'm confident this site will become a must see place for those wanting to learn.

Wayne...

Wow!! some great folk have joined the crew- great to have youy all on board.
Im jake hempson I'm an animator/modeller - been working in games biz since about 1996- back when we were given wonderful task of modeling a humaiod character in 300 tris - woot.

I was teaching for a year and a bit and I have just returned to the Industry full time as an Animator/modeler for THQ Oz(Whilst working on my Masters by Research -part time at QUT)I'm Kind of hoping I can help get the message across on modeling for deformation/polyflow for animation.
