First class follow-up and vote!

Hi everyone here's some quick follow-up from the class:

- Issac: I mentioned a youtube tutorial guy for hard surface you could find useful - here it is:

- I'll remember to bring in that Steamboy book next week for a few of you to look at.

- For those of you doing spaceships I'll bring in a John Berkey book and the art of Homeworld.  I also put together a collection of all the spaceship ref I've collected over the years (500mb download):

- People were voicing interest in me doing a thumbnailing demo next week for a spaceship maybe? Soooo.... seems like I'm not able to add a poll into the widgets so in the comments, but what we'll do is you can leave a comment on this post if you'd like to skip your feedback next week (you can still post to the blog by the cut off of Friday at midnight ahead of time to get feedback!).  If around half of you are fine not getting in class feedback I can do a demo probably and answer questions as I do it.  You will still need to post any progress you've done through the week.  Note: if you're gonna skip the in class feedback i HIGHLY recommend you post by the Friday cutoff so I can give you notes and feedback on Saturday before class.

So in your comment please include:
- If you want in class feedback on Oct 11 (yes/no)
- What kind of demo? spaceship? gun? general talk on the industry/Q&A/breakdown crit of the functionality of a piece of concept art (this could be fun! aka why the new halo guns are bad)

- what part of the process? thumbnailing? 3D stuff?

I'm open to whatever but some of these might take a bit of prep on my end so the sooner i know the better.

Here's the 'default' timeline for your second prop:

Week 9 Deliverable:

Week 10 Deliverable:

R**Remember, use 3D smart - if you're not super confident or it doesn't make sense to use it for your prop - avoid it.  I generally think because most of you aren't pro users at 3D, you should NOT be using it in early stages. ONLY GO INTO 3D WHEN YOU HAVE A CLEAR DIRECTION. Capiche?

I think that's everything from the class - let me know if i missed anything.  If people have any other requests for books they'd like me to bring let me know as I've got quite a few.
