Hibernation is over!

Posted on May 30, 2013 by Daniel

My business has been allocated a grant from Shetland Isles Council and Business Gateway. Paper work is over and no more spending. This means more work for me and my projects can be opened.

You will be able to see from the SIC logo on this page and at my home page that 3D Island Modelling is part of the Shetland Isles business community. Also making objects on behalf of the Shetland market with a 5 year contract starting now.

Official business will still open in Oct 2013.

All good for me!

Good news for me…

I just got approved from business gateway and council for my business starting up. They will help me to set up and starting for this job which allow me to step closer to buy what I need.

Good trainee for me..

Texture workshop version 3.0 finally out and I just enjoy learn new way to texture my modelling in good way and better.

Good date to open…

This freelance job would open for good in October 2013. I will buy and saving up for stuff what I need and build modelling for asset for any 3D market to help me to climb upward to reach my target. Hopeful I can hit that target early than I’ve thought.

I am off to learn more good stuff and updated my skill to match with present games like Crysis 3 and Halo 4. Maybe try to best them.

Over an out!

Lazy month…

Posted on July 29, 2012 by Daniel

Hey, I am sure that some of you wonder what happened to my blog….

Well, I have a nice British holiday, sunny tan on my skin which is nice. Better than stay in “4 walls room with no window”  so I just have to escape from this.

Today is sort of raining day so I am just doing catch up with 3D Island Modelling freelance-to-be. I am hopeful that I will be successful in gaining a licence to become official at freelance.

Because I wont give up, no matter what.

New Bot CAPTCHA

CAPTCHA Has been replaced by games. so that suits my website, to bot… good bye, to human…..enjoy!

New Software!

I just purchased new texture workshop software called Substance Designer 3. it will help me with texture. And another cool reason which will be revealed when I release my product.

That means so far I own commercial licence :-

Substance Designer 3, Zbrush 4 and Bitmap2Material.

Only one more to go…. 3D Max or Maya! I cant wait for licence.

Sneak Preview! Part 1

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Daniel

Sneak Preview – Part 1.

Texture test in games engine.

50 copies sold!

Posted on March 31, 2012 by Daniel

Hey ya all!

Successful : Testing products sold out around over 50 copies!

The two testing products from Blender 3d software have been selling very well. Thank you very much for buying it as it is very helpful to help me to save up for my licence! I will upgrade and add on top of Blender version modelling into Max version modelling as soon as I get the licence to allow me to sell. ( I wont delete/Remove the Blender version modelling just in case you already used/like better than Max version, of course.)

Fed up of waiting?

While I am saving up for commercial licence… I’ve made a decision to show you a few things monthly. To keep you enterprising of course.

Absent January’s Blog…Fund delay

Posted on February 29, 2012 by Daniel

Hey all!

I know that you all may be wondering why January’s Blog was absent. I was just moving my workspace into my own workspace room so I can focus on the project. The funding for 3d max commercial licence has been spent on the new room. I hope it was a smart move as buying 3D max has been delayed.

Fingers Crossed.

Hope you have a great Christmas and New year!

Posted on December 30, 2011 by Daniel

Hello everybody!

I hope you are all having a great holiday!

I’ve had a great time with my family, and looking forward to new year as many good things have happened this Christmas!

First,

Digital download product for e-store has been fixed! Many thanks to TheCartPress teams!

So I’ve sorted it out and add product that already selling in unity asset store. I will sort out other modelling and texture before it is finally published on the website.

I will email existing customers to get their new link to the product download link just in case the customer has lost 3DIM’s product from 3D Island Modelling.

Second,

I am planning to buy 3D Studio Max commercial licence in mid January if everything goes well.

That means I am finally able to work faster, more control and more workflow in 3D modelling than using a free open source software, Blender. I wish I was able to buy Maya and motion builder .. maybe later.

Finally

Website has been updated and finally everything fixed, colour scheme  just used as reference.

http://colorschemedesigner.com/#0w31Tw0w0w0w0

so that is an ideal balance for our website….

I’ve ran out of ideas to update the website.. Heh.

Delay & New Software

Posted on December 1, 2011 by Daniel

Hey ya all! apology for begin late, as I am trying to sort everything out.

Estore.

Estore plug in I used is useless right now as it still has Bugs in it that will stop you digitally downloading any of our products…

So I have to create my own network so you can access it and download any product. With better secure download that only used by username that you can get a link from your own email. There is no easy life as you know it.

Scam and Spam.

Scam has filled up in this website so I have to remove it and auto spam user has joined this website and I have to remove every username. I apologise about that, so I have added “are you human” plug in to reduce the chance of Auto Spam bot joining our website.

If you have joined this website, please greet yourself in our forum so we will know you are human.

Where all updated modelling?

I’ve spend all my time on 3d Game Model Competition last month, the dead line is 28th Nov and I missed it as it was EST time zone and I am 4 day behide and miss it. Next time then! I better go back to working for 3D Island Modelling! Hah.

New Software

I’ve just bought new software that will help me improve quality for modelling and reduce my men-hour that I’ve spending on Blender and Gimp….

The commercial software I’ve bought is Zbrush 4.0 and Bitmap2Material.

Zbrush 4.2R – helps me to add detail on character and items. and 3d paint for texture.

Bitmap2Material – Save my time edit texture, fix seamless texture and normal map generator.

Look like I have everything ready to do work for games.

Right now I am aim to saving up for 3D Max. (with better computer) hopefully next year or 2.

Some good news…few bad news…

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Daniel

Hello everybody,

I have been very busy working on 3d modelling and busy as a family man as well! But I’ve enjoyed it anyway. More and more requests have been building up, bigger workload for me.

I have some good news and some bad news…. Hmmm which first?

Good news…

I just got digital download for our website store, you can log in and download whatever you buy. Unlimited download time for every customer.

Many modelling are ready to upload into store. 2 packages are ready so far. it was a rock package where you can put in your own environment, And a basic fantasy hand suitable for classic role-play games. both of them will be in FBX. and will add Unity 3d package for those 2 products for Unity user. please feedback if you request for other software package just in case if you have been stuck in.

Bad news…

Our website’s store has been down for a while. That’s because of a digital download error. So it had to wait for this bug to be fixed. The programmer has been working on this part.

Hopefully this problem will be solved as soon as possible.

Posted on August 29, 2011 by Daniel

Hey ya all!

My ITIN has not arrived yet. So I just opened my own store for my customer.

How it works.

It does not have automatic payment like other e-shop. I have to go to my own bank and accept it.

Even an automatic digital download is not available yet.

I’ll have to manually accept order so it will automatically send an email to the customer.

It may take 2 weeks.

For quicker checkout, paypal has been added in checkout list.

Automatic email has been named – market@3dislandmodelling.com.

Make sure to look out for this email as it will send you a download item.

Next model coming

Next model will be FPS style. in the order, First coming up will be fantasy role play games style. then modern day..

After that will be future sci-fi, then finally, military of all ages.

All of those themes will have included in them, animation, weapons and action.

Next Games upcoming

Next games will be FPS role-play. teaser trailer will be coming up next year or so. Picture will coming up asap.

With many thanks to Jan Slegl and his RPG kit.

New Logo New Look coming soon!

Yes you’ve heard it. my website will be updated as soon as possible!

Welcome to my new blog!

Posted on July 31, 2011 by Daniel

I will update every month with ideas and designs. Also any improved ideas are welcome!

At the moment I am working on high res character as I think that it is a good idea to start with the hard part first then do easy part last so I can upload more modelling.

First character will be available when I get ITIN then get w8 form sorted.

Sorry for any delay as I need it before I can upload all modelling I have.

Thank you for reading!
