Egocentricity in 3D


One of the projects I did this past month at work required some 3D rendering.
OOH BOY NEW TOOLS!

I used a free program called "blender" at work, since it was, well, free.
It's not the most intuitive program for beginners. You really do have to sit down and read ALL the instructions (there are mountains). And heaven forbid you press the wrong key combination.

Long story short: had fun, wanted more. But not with blender (sorry guys - it's just not for me)
So I dug around the internet and found this tutorial on psdtuts+
Different program (I had to use a demo, but it's very shiny and friendly!)
I'm a sucker for punishment. Picked one of the harder ones right off the bat.

My end result is very different from the tutorial.
I didn't want to shell out the cash for stock imagery, so I used what I had lying around from previous projects (thank you book design, for your ample assortment of gear imagery)
Also didn't like the greenish tint to the final image, so I left mine in warm greys.

Long story. Gist is: Tori likes 3D.
Tori may do more in the future.
