sorry in advance for blabbering on... i just read my posts and realized i hit on like twenty different topics... sorry
i'm camera crazy, i'll go though a pile of batteries and i save every photo, when i need more space on my hard drive i'll burn them to CD's...
i try to take good photos as opposed to crooked ones that need to be cropped... you get better results if you take the picture how you want, than taking it crooked and cropping..... even with my suite of tools for photo manipulation, i don't open photos up in any programs for editing, i'll just take the one i like and resize them with microsoft's powertoys image resize, its a right click/resize fuction that reduces the image size and automatically optimizes for sharing... i've found in this day and age, actually going into whatever photo program you use and resizing, optimizing, and cropping, just doesn't do as much good as it used to... people do horrible things to photos
...and i use photoshop CS2 for all my actual work on photos, it's magical, but a huge dent in the ordinary person's wallet!
i'm going to build some 3D models in lightwave, sometime in the future when i have free time, and i want to re-create some vintage marx, or so some sort of half virtual, half real photo mix..... i might also digitialize my platform into a 3D world, and try and run the trains on a bluescreen, and insert them into the digital platform...... i could do it today if i had the time... but i'm far from having that much free time!
... and this is a 3D model of a train, nothing you see in this photo is real, it's made from scratch, except for some of the textures of course! it's right out of Lightwave, with some finishing effects in Photoshop
most of my work in 3D isn't train related, and it's on my other computer, soo i havn't posted any of it here...
