First post!

This is my very first blog. In fact, this has already been a year of firsts! In February I decided to pursue my talent in art, and take it to the next level - 3D modeling. While I have taken a few jabs at 3ds max in the past, this is the first time I've tried to make something look like something other than a line or a box. This was a whole new learning experience! But I threw myself into it, and within a week I knew the basics of modelling.

I knew what I wanted to make. I have always been fascinated by pirates, and I was determined to make a little town housed by pirates. I had thought of what kinds of buildings I would have, as well as a basic layout of what the little town looked like. However, I knew I had to start making assets, and honestly I couldn't wait to make a cannon.

These are just screen caps of what I was working on in 3ds max. I didn't know how to render an object until later
