Here you'll find a variety of imaging projects, including 2D and 3D computer graphics, photography, and animation, as well as tutorials on how many of them were done. I have a new DVD for 3D graphic artists coming soon, too. (below)

The latest...

This summer, I'll be publishing my second presentation (on DVD) for 3D graphic artists, called "CAD for Modelers, Volume Two". It's an advanced and in-depth set of tutorials, explanations, and demonstrations of various 3D modeling and animating techniques. This is not a "video", but rather, it's set up just like a web site, so you can view and review any section you like, in any order you like, and keep it as a reference.

Although "what button to push" will vary from one piece of 3D software to another, the 3D modeling and animation techniques are very similar, so this presentation is done in a concept-based, "generic" way, and should be helpful to you, regardless of your particular software. As a bonus, many 3D models will be included, so you can experiment with them yourself. These will be in (3D) DXF file format, compatible with most 3D software. (Where possible, texture maps and artwork are also included.)

To give you an idea of what's in the presentation, I'll be updating the preview movie below occasionally, until the DVD is published. Click here for the latest preview, as of 06-24-08. (4.3MB)

This site is relatively new, as of 2008, so bear with me as I build up the content here. Previously, most of my 3D/CAD work has been related to aircraft design, and featured on my archive site at www.nextcraft.com. Now that I'm no longer confined to aircraft design, I'll be featuring a much larger variety of examples and techniques here. (See the preview above)
