Dumb Luck 101: My First “Organic” 3D Modo Project on History Channel

Dumb Luck 101: My First "Organic" 3D Modo Project on History Channel

I’m planning to write more about this when I have some time, but I figured I’d link to a local news item about my first “organic” Modo project ending up in a nationally broadcast documentary.
Understand that this is not a suggestion that I have any great 3D modeling experience (I don’t)… it was kind of [...]


TWiP: This Week in Photography

I’ve been a fan of the various This Week in [insert topic here] podcasts for years. The podfather namesake of this family, so to speak, is This Week in Tech.
