Books to feed my mind naum

Sooooo really not been feeling like doing anything the past week got a whack of the flue or as i like to call it the abola T virus. Yep so I havent done alot since my last update just been half heartily doing some things I am kind of loosing my drive this week, Working from home can get depressing feels like all you do is eat sleep work in the same room ugh anoying.

So ive just been doing a few little thing's. I made this youtube video of the room i do all my work in why ? i was bored mostly also i got few people who always look at my work on youtube and give me good feedback and help me out with questions and what not so i thought it would interesting to show the room ive made most of my animations in , you can see it here if you like to look into other peoples bedrooms.

What else have i been doing, Ow thats right i have started to try modelling the bird for my 3d short, that i posted about previously. I am not to happy with it i think il start again, Im worried about wasting time rigging and learning to texture at the moment i really want to switch to 3D this year so im trying to stick with it, My film next year all depends on how this short pans out, So i wouldn't say im under pressure but i am kinda worried about making some thing that turns out awful.

Here are some early pictures of the bird, im trying to keep it simple but interesting to look at, like it is in my doodles I am going to have to sit down and do more drawings of it i think then model of the character sheets making things up as you go in 3D doesnt seem to be panning out for me in this case.

From my drawings it looks like its made out of loads of triangles so i was trying keep that look, 

anyway here are just some renders of what i tried so far, Im probably going to redo it from scratch. 

So thats my birdy model so far Il probably add a new blog when i model the new one unless i decide to keep this one but im not to sure at the moment im a bit confused about how i would give it secondery movements like some feathery parts moving stuff like that which i would normally just draw as im a 2d guy so this is all a bit more technical than im use to right now. 

BUY BOOKS !!!

yea so i like to buy 3d books very handy some time's I picked up mastering autodesk maya 2011, and Studio Projects : Dynamics the other day, I just starting doing some dynamic project today thats in the book and its giving me a head ake this books instructions do not appear to be matching the results it say i should have !! grrr anyway this is why books can be anoying. But some times if you just use video tut's of youtube say your just copying and not learning so its good to match the two, but the books cost a fucking small fortune. 

I also a new keyboard for my pc because mine is old and gorry and the mouse broke, so i got this cool shiny microsoft one, which ended up not fucking working !! 

Which is a shame it was nice and sleek looking and the house was sexy but fuck it i brought it back and kept the batteries that came with it, john 1 Microsoft 0. I am the reluctant owner of a logitech keyboard and mouse this keyboard is tiny feels like it was built for a women with small hands.


Yeap so thats all ive been doing thought id do a blog, as im bored and have no life clearly.
I need a women me thinks but they cost more than those books so they can go and get it some where else !!  took er jerbs... or something bye.
