Crofton Graphics Blog started...

This blog is aimed as an extension to my business as part of my plan to extend Crofton Graphics beyond just offering a service to a place on the www for resources, advice and also to enable me to link up with other people in my industry.

In the future, I will be creating video casts to explain certain concepts and technical solutions in programmes such as 3DS Max, Z brush etc. Many of these will be free. Other resources will be sold for a small amount of money and will be able to be purchased online.

I often feel its a shame with small internet businesses such as my own, one has to somewhow offer a cold window that just tries to sell my work and get more work. I want to do more than this.

As some of you may know, as well as offering a design service, I work on art works including abstract sculpture, drawings and also architectural pen and ink sketches. I really beleive that these balance my more technical 3D work and both disciplines reinforce each other.

I really recomend people out there just to pick up a brush, pen, charcoal, clay and make a mess. It really frees ideas up whether you class yourself as an artist or not (whatever 'artist' means).

Finally, 3D, design and art creation is a passion for me. If this blog starts to sounds like a terrible 'round robin' business promotional blog please let me know!

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy my realtime recording below of my latest realtime 3D level which is a simulation of Cadiz, the exe can also be downloaded from my site.
