Right, so in the odd chance of anyone actually reading this blog I thought I’d give an update on whats going on.

So as I’ve posted before I’m now working at Grin and it’s really sweet. If you’ve paid attention to the last few posts you’ve noticed I’ve been wrapping up the two previous projects I’ve been working on and updating my portfolio with new pictures.

I got a few ideas for what my next personal projects are going to be but at this point I’m not going to publish anything about the nature of them… Nothing is set in stone at this point but I’ m drifting between 3 or 4 projects. I know I will enter production for sure on at least 2 of them in the future so it’s really only a matter of ”What’s next”.

I’ve started working on some tutorials regarding texturing workflow. It’s nothing fancy at this point and I have no time frame for when they will be complete (if ever) so I wouldn’t hold my breath. Besides, it’s summer. Go out and get a tan or something!

Updated my portfolio with renders of the RTS buildings.

A bunch of university friends of mine are getting into the whole ”Serious games”-thing and one of their first projects is a game for ”Räddningsverket” (Guys that rescue people when they’re in some sort of trouble. Drug-, money- and acne-related trouble not included)

They got a video of it at http://srv.se/templates/UtbKat_Page____23544.aspx?epslanguage=EN and it reawoke my old dream of being a firefighter!

Decided to just call it a day. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out and as I’ve already stated in previous posts I’ve achieved the goals I set up. I may do more stuff and finish the other sides of it some day…

Final renders of the project can be found on http://www.tomaslidstrom.com and under the ”Cheap building” page on this blog that you can get to by clicking here.
If the aren’t pictures on there yet they will be shortly.

So I got into a second wave of boo-yaism and figured I might make a whole little environment-render of this thing. The house is pretty much done so now I’m making the surrounding setting. Added a street and a few things. Nothing is uvmapped at this point though. Also moved the camera back so you get to see more of it all. Nothing is final as most of the new geometry is simply placeholder material but still, goes to show where I’m going with it.
