I don't like updating my Journal, but the last entry, dated January 2011, just looked silly in Aug 2012.
Over and out. Will be back with an update in a year or so. :D

2011

2 min read
The previous 1-year-old journal entry had its time, so off it went.

Anyway, nothing new really. This Autumn I finally learnt Adobe Illustrator, great piece of software, will put it to good use in the future (actually I already started illustrating with it-check Looking For The Tomcat's Magic House). If you wish to learn AI the fast way, just head to Lynda.com and get the training videos by Morty Golding. If you know Photoshop, it should take you less than 2 weeks to learn AI virtually inside-out.

At the moment I'm watching a video course on Flash Actionscript 3.0 and hope to learn as much as I can by mid-year, as web design/programming can be a really lucrative business...
Plans for January also include purchasing my own Wacom Intuos 4 tablet (atm I'm working on a friend's Wacom Graphire) and experimenting a bit with concept art.
Lightwave 10 was released recently, also have to look into that, but not until I finish my training on LW9, which I postponed for far too long.
In the meantime I will also be working on my final Uni project, a series of large traditional artworks which I will upload here as I finish them.

Laterz
----------------------------------------
Last but not least, I updated digital-trees.com with some new Ps brushes, TIFs and special offers, which I hope to make the products affordable to pretty much anyone.

Entry #1/2010

2 min read
First of all I want to wish everyone a great 2010, lots of inspiration and plenty of time to work!

Since 2 weeks ago I started an aggressive software learning campaign. This week I finished with Vue 8 (the last version I had used seriously was Vue 5, and a LOT of things changed since then). I was particularly impressed by the Node Editor, really handy addition. Great new atmosphere system too, those clouds are simply awesome.
For anyone who wants to learn Vue from the ground up, there's a one-stop website:
www.geekatplay.com
There are hundreds of hours of FREE video training, going into the smallest details. Go there now!

Now I'm exploring all the bits of Lightwave 9.6 and all I can say so far is that I'm very happy with how things are going. Over the past 3-4 days I've been playing around with the Node Editor and if I thought Vue's node editor was cool, then Lightwave's is beyond awesome. Just perfect and so intuitive!! One thing is certain though: learning Lightwave is going to take a "little" more time than Vue. I mean, I know my basics in Lightwave, I've been using it (sporadically) since 2005, but still there's a great deal of stuff that I don't know.

Anyway, I'll surely post in my gallery any new piece (probably gonna do a couple of Vue renders sometime soon, just to practically try my hand at it) and...yeah, that's about it.
:D
