newbie's first post

Tue Oct 10, 2006, 6:50 AM
First of all, I'm not a "blogger" kinda person, so I have no idea what to write here :)
I'll start with some more details about me:

I'v never learned art, in any form, except the weekly lesson at school. I'm pretty bad at drawing with pencil, but I allways wanted to create. So I met my first 3D experince, when I got my hands on a demo of Maya. The first thing I created can be called "typical" for a man: it was a gun (a 1911 Colt to be precise). I even made a small animation with it, friring a bullet and loading. I done all that without any help, on one afternoon, so I got very happy that I could manage such a task. I liked plaing with playdough, and done some very simple ceramycs (a box, some dinasours, a dragon.. :) ) when I was around 6-10 years old. Modelling in 3D felt the same, but it gave endless freedom.

I got my hands on a full version of 3DSMax5 as the next step, and started learning how to use it from the tutorials that shipped with it. This was in 2003 september. So I set out on a jurney to be a 3D modeller, to learn useing a 3D application to such a level, that when
I wanted to modell something I liked, I could do it. Since then I spent most of my computer time modelling. I left off games for a long time.

Untill I found World of Warcraft. I played of Warcraft games earlier, and read fantasy books, I loved the "feel" of it since I was 7. SoI started playing again.

I found other hobbies, well before my "3D" time. I raced R/C modell cars for 4 years, and become 3 times hungarian champion. I got a wall full of cups. Once a year I have to turn em upside down to get the dust out before they overflow :D Sadly that hobbie became a past, as the racing community lost the only race track in the city.

I switched to flying R/C airplanes, it's cheaper and I can allways find a field to fly from. Also, flying (even when controlling a plane while standing on the ground) feels much more "free" than playing with an R/C car. I'm thinking about getting into the helicopter business, as I'v pushed my plane to the limits, and its no longer a challange to do a rolling harrier 20cm's from the ground.
I have a girlfriend now, I spend most of my time with her, so I do modelling and gameing much less frequently.
Antoher of my hobbies: I got myself a guitar 3 years ago. My parents said that they won't buy me one, cause I said I didn't want to learn playing it from a teacher. I just wanted to have one, and learn playing as I learned "playing" 3D, on my own. So one day after school, I went home with an extra bag on my back, with my first guitar. A year later I bought myself an electric one, because the acoustic "wooden box" was just not enough to play hard rock and metal :)

So, 'nough said, I do a lot of things.
Oh, I almost forgot, I'm learning at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, as a "transportation engineer". I forgot this cause it's not a hobby of mine, it compulsory :)

The point of all above is: you Can have a life, even if your obsessed with 3D modelling, MMORPGs, rock, and rc modelling :)

Gotta go and wave the national flag a bit in front of the parliment. We have a bit of a political crysis here at the moment :D
C'ya later, alligator :)

ps: sorry for my ballistic aproach to puctuation and spelling!
