This is for Dennis, if you are a No 1 fan of the previous sketchup forum (before google took over) he was famous for the 'Dennis Technique'. The watercolor effect of sketchup renders.

Up till now, I guess. Well, here are some images I made for him. What an honorable job. a boat is coming up next!

Last 2 months I was assigned to this project creating interactivity for this Bankers Institution of Malaysia. Well the project was easy enough to acquire, but the thing is, i need to secure my future funding with them so i quoted them with an unreasonably low price.

well, now i realized how stupid that was. they have this like, 7 chapters of microsoft word text and graphs to be converted into a complex interactivity with some minor 3D animations.

and each chapter consists of 120+ pages.

and there goes a headache, with only one month left to work on this.


i have to work flash fast, using flash, which slows me down.

I am preparing myself to become an educator. I was looking through the features of Google Analytics and bumped into his son's blog, and clicked into his fathers site. Unexpectedly i got through each and single text and came upon the Teachings section.

His philosophy is clear, and i find it an excellent approach. took all the important notes, and now i am preparing the syllabus, which i have divided into four chapters, or whatever you call it. Each will take around 4 hours to complete.

Essential 3D
Fundamental Geometric Terms, 3D Drawings Terms
Basic Modeling techniques

Advance Modeling
Advance techniques which requires student to master the first chapter.
Animation & Presentation methods, applying efficiently.

Advance Techniques
Working with brain
CAD Manipulation
Rendering techniques
Lighting essentials

Presentation
Basic usage of 2D Applications
Analyzing models



How did i come up with this idea? I daydream.
I have this industrial experience and i thought of sharing, especially to the young generations. I want them to start early. I see a lot of grads in this field arent doing much. they have the money, they can afford overpriced colleges, then they came out clueless.

In this field, it is not essential to have certificates or any of those papers. What matters is skill. You can buy papers, but you cant do so with skills. Compile a showreel, show to the employers. or clients.

i read in the papers that a research have been conducted and it said senior workers (50+) are more skilled than those juniors (The Star last 2 or 3 days i cant remember).

there. this is a plan i wish to realize. maybe someday next year or next month, or next week. or just wait until theres enough fund. and that will be in no time. if you would like to enroll, keep coming for updates.

or if you would like to help me in any way you can think of, drop me anything at aimrservices@gmail.com

Any suggestions/critics are welcomed.

Modeled using 3ds max 9.

I used spline techniques. However I find it hard to master the art of the lines and curves to create contours. Maybe a couple of heads would make it easier to understand.

There were a bunch of methods to do this, but i prefer it in spline. Its easier and i have more control over the contours. I'll be practicing more on this, and i will one day come out with an animation that will awe you all.

For those who wants to learn 3D, i will be providing a training somewhere in seremban in a few weeks time. Keep coming for updates.
