Congrats Andrew! I wish you and yours health and much success. Peace:) Hunter

Yes, I started writing a book a few months ago but the changes to the app happen so quickly, half of what I wrote is already out of date. lol. Sooo I'm putting the book on hold til' things slow down. Andrew updates the app faster than my fingers can type. One day:) Hunter

haha, thanks man. I've always had a super work ethic and hating sleep helps. Even as a child I refused to take a nap because I thought it was a waste of time. I also reward myself by playing equally as hard as I work and will take a day off to play video games once in a while. lol. Please send me some pics of your stuff at the email above. Talk to ya soon:) Hunter

Thanks. Hopefully I'll get some prospects soon:) Hunter

Hi all, I'm currently looking for two interns to work on various projects my studio is producing. One, the Tell-Tale Heart, starring the voice of Fresh Prince of Bel Air's Janet Hubert (Aunt ViV) is a 3D animated retelling of the classic tale. But we're working on a truck load of other 3D and animated goodness. Is there pay? Aye, matey. A small stipend is being offered as well as credits on the project(s), letter of recommendation, and national exposure. What am I looking for? Well, the ideal candidate(s) would rock at modeling and texturing in 3D-Coat and (if the fates will it) experience with Maya animation and rigging. Those of you who know me on the forums know I posted a few video tutorials and contributed to the 3D-Coat manual. And I have a shrine to Andrew in my house. I mean, who doesn't? My studio has been in animation for years, having art directed the hit TV series Mutant League and Black Zero: Mercenary Ant. We also publish comic books, technology books and other cool things like Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and Transformers books. How do you contact that which may not really be human? Right here or by sending me a link to your work at diehardstudio@gmail.com Visit my site at www.diehardstudio.com to see the wondrous mayhem we produce every day. Our clients include: Sony Music, Prentice Hall, Prudential, PSE&G, Macmillan Publishing, and a whole lot of other people we kinda like:) Thanks and I look forward to working with you. Am I cool to work with? Can I get a heck yeah? Dwayne Ferguson (Known to the criminal element as, who fear me...oh yes they do, Hunter)

Imagine creating creations based on creating things from imagining from your imagination....but only faster! 3D-Coat...imagine the creation of better creations from your imagination.

Hi guys, How are ya? I just posted a new video on how I use 3DC to texture the models for my upcoming iPhone game, Hamster Vice: The Roach Wars. Take care:) Hunter YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/diehardstudio#...l/0/ukqnXoRlXPg Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/6056963

Another mic you might want to consider is from Shure. I used to use the Shure Beta mic with M-Audio usb interface. This one is very nice quality but a lot easier on the ol'd wallet: http://www.shure.com/ProAudio/Products/Wir...Beta87A_content

Dude, I totally love the model. I can't wait to see what you do next! Hunter

You're welcome:)

Hi guys, I now have the tutorial up on Vimeo. Here be the link lads, aye: http://www.vimeo.com/5209514

Thanks guys. I get that radio sound by using an AKG mic. Here's a link to it: http://www.avgiant.com/AKG-Recording-Broad...mp;category=510

Hi there, I've never used vimeo but I'll check it out:)

Hi folks, Please check out the Tutorials section in the forum for the link to the video tutorial on how to go from 3DC to Maya. Take care:) Hunter

Hi guys, I just posted a new video tutorial on how to go from 3DC to Maya in regards to color and bump maps. More coming soon:) Hunter Vimeo Link: http://www.vimeo.com/5209514 YouTube Link:

Thanks for all the comments folks. I'll try implementing many of the suggestions in my next render. I'm creating a custom alpha for the toes, working on the tail, etc. All of these lightning storms in my neck of the woods are driving me wacky (though many would say it's too late on that front, since I was born wacky).

Thanks! I appreciate that. Yeah, I try to do characters that have attitude problems. lol. One time a client asked me to do 4 Pocahontas coloring books. Drawing all those cute animals made my insides twist up. I'm still in therapy from that assignment. Hunter

Howdy folks! I thought I'd have some voxel fun and model and texture my studio mascot. He's a tough lil' elephant named Hannibal. The style is based on the Adobe Illustrator version of him. I posted that in here somewhere below as well. Here are a couple of screenshots. I'm still playing with the textures and lighting. I started in 3D-Coat, and rendered in Maya. I'm experimenting with HDRI lighting in Maya at the moment. The composite was done in Photoshop with color correction and Levels. Next I'll add the tattoo, the tail and some mist from the ice. Where'd I put that coffee? lol. See ya! Hunter www.diehardstudio.com

Congrats! Time to make some awesome art. Let's see...Coffee, check! 3D-Coat, check! Lock myself in my office, check! Hunter

Dude, if this is added to 3D-Coat, I'll get on a plane and give the whole development team a bear hug. For real. Hunter

I bet that is indeed the truth! The government won't be able to release the intel for another 40 years though, you know how silly governments are.

We have a winnah, ladies and gents!!! Never before has one company slapped me across my favorite face so much. lol.

Haha, it's not Autodesk I'm talking about. It's another company...The crowd grows silent as the contestant takes another guess at the answer...shhhhh.

Sounds very intriguing. I use a wacom tablet for pretty much everything (I'm still trying to program it to make coffee) but I'll definitely look into talking about those devices. Andrew is most definitely a big part of why I love this app. If only other developers actually talked to their users. As a Mac user, there is one company, who will remain nameless, that made me feel like we didn't matter to them. Andrew and the 3DC team rock. We need Andrew action figures with kung fu grip!

Illustration is a fun industry. Clients will drive you insane but that's the price us mercenaries have to pay. lol. I hope you enjoy the book:) Hunter
