What I hope to do

The thing I want to model very badly are car. So I hope to post a lot of renders of cars on this Blog. And some video's of the cars also. I also want to make websites wit gimp. Ok, I will settle for making anything at this point with any computer graphics because anything is better than what I have made no which is barely anything. So the idea for the rest of the year is to make more computer graphic of course that was the idea for all of last year all but, I think I have changed this year.

My computer graphics fist steps

Before I got a computer I had probably heard about photoshop and that was the extent of my computer graphics knowledge. It was not until I got a computer that I leaned about gimp, inkscape, Blender, synfig.

I believe the first program I used was gimp. I tried to work thought some of the tutorials on the gimp website and read through the documentation. All that work and I only created probably one image with gimp a banner for a header of a website. I hope to create more graphics with gimp.

The next program I used was blender. When I fist saw blenders website I thought wow, I wonder what I can make with the program. The fist version of blender I used was Blender 4.2. I tried some tutorials and read some of the documentation but, never made much if anything.

Then came Inkscape and Snynfig. I have tried tutorial on both of the programs website. But, I have made much with the programs. I hope I can make more graphics wit them.

Before tying the above programs I had not given much thought to computer graphics. I had played computer computer games but, never thought about how the graphics in the games were made and I certainly could never have believed I would be making computer graphics someday. Thats not strictly true I don't make computer graphics but, I want to. Wanting to though is not making computer graphics.

What do I want to make graphic's for? I want to make graphics for 2d computer games that I want to make. I also want to make graphic's for a website. If history is any indicator I will still be saying that I want to make graphics 5 or 6 years from now. I hope I start making things instead of wanting to make things.

My dreams for this blog

The computer graphic program that I have used the most is blender. I have tried a tutorial or 2 with gimp the same goes for inkscape.

I think computer graphics are cool and I want to lean how to make them and I think this blog will get me making some computer graphics so that I can have something to post but, fear not if I don't have any computer graphics to post I will post anyway, I hope, that is the plan anyway.
