Staying late after work...

Just aren't enough hours in the day! I'm cramming them in to try and get this tutorial vid done, I thought it would be a very direct modelling approach but its been interesting as I despite having a design to work to I'm still resolving design issues on the fly, there's trial and error, software crashes and mistakes all recored, I will leave them in as I think its important to see these issues, its about resolving them when you come to them... I do have to pause the recording quite a bit, just like painters do, I have have to just step back and look at it for a while, turn it around, walk away make a coffee and come back, see it with "fresh eyes" hit pause and resume the modelling... Audio is going to have to be recorded after, I just can't talk and create, hats off to those who can! I just enjoy finding "The Zone" and losing myself in it....

Here's a little screen grab from last night

    It's a bummer that you got dragged down by a faulty software that way, considering the level of accomplishment and craftiness you show us. Software breakdowns shouldn't be a thing, and certainly should not be a hindrance or a border to expression, such as what happened to you. I hope that everything gets worked out soon. Thanks for sharing that, Chris! More power to you!

      Thanks Matt, yes it's quite frustrating, sketch up is great but the plugins can be quiet buggy so I'm constantly hitting the save function before I intersect or us the round corner plugin a shame that Sketchup Didn't think to hard wire that tool into the program, bevelling and radiuses on shapes are a basic function in pretty much all modelling software! Still, I will keep them in though the video will be sped up so you probably won't notice them much apart from my comment in post.... I didn't want to do audio after but I just can't talk and draw.... :)
