Amazing!!! Just out of curiosity Brian, how old are you? Are you doing / have you done any training in multimedia or anything.

It's my goal to be working on 3D in the film industry when I'm older too.

Kev, great interview!

Brian, what can I say m8! Killer work!

Ps, just noticed (finaly) that you are located in St. Louis.

I was stationed at "Fort Lost in the Woods" back in 92-93,
during my stint in the Army.

Hmm... Well, I probably didn't start creating detailed models until I started comming here on SM. Probably around March... So.. It did take me along time to get where I am, but the level that I am at now is only about halfway to where I want to be. How did I start? Well I started to take classes at the Community college here in St. Louis. They have a Certificate program, witch I will actually be teaching a few corses in next semester if everything goes as planned. Thanks,
Brian
