As foretold in a previous post, this site will be undergoing some major reconstruction. As of right now though, it has been decided to make even more drastic of a change than I had originally planned.
I have decided for the sake of simplicity and ease of communication with potential employers, that my website needs to be my name not my initials. As a result I have registered the domain www.johnvanderbeck.com and will not be reneweing jwvanderbeck.com. That means that at some point this site will cease to exist entirely.
I have started a new blog however using Blogger, so that I can maintain a blog independant of my site. If you want to keep in touch with me, please move on over there at http://johnvanderbeck.blogspot.com
In the future you will be able to find my new personal website at www.johnvanderbeck.com.

I have to say, this stuff is quite hard. It has only been a few days, but so far i’d probably say organics are just not my area. The work we are doing right now is cartoony in nature, yet i’m having a heck of a time. Even in this simplified state, […]

So yesterday marked the beginnig of Block 2, Character Modeling and Animation. To be honest this is the course that really scares me more than anything else in the curriculum. Characters, and other organics, just seem to hard to model. Hardware stuff like buildings, I can break down into itty bitty pieces […]
