Resources – March 2009

March 29th, 2009

Here is another round up of my favorite articles, blogs and resources I found during February and March.

My Leadership Series (along with my other series) is now available in my free-resources page as a single download-able Leadership PDF ebook .ï¿½ Please feel free to grab it or pass it along (and the other free ebooks there) to anyone who might enjoy it!

Another change I’ve made to my site here is putting up an Amazon bookstore for all the books I’ve reviewed and highly rated/recommended.Â If you’re interested in ordering any of these books, feel free to order them through my bookstore !

Cool Products

Adam gave me a free copy of his IQ Matrix MasterMind Mindmap to review and here is what I thought.ï¿½ To be honest, I’ve never really spent much time looking at someone else’s mindmap even though I use them myself quite often.ï¿½ This one is a gigantic mindmap with so many paths to explore you really do have to keep coming back to it.ï¿½ The drawn beautifully and has a lot of areas obviously well researched to fit them in as it seems to cover the topic quite well.ï¿½ In fact, it gives me a lot of ideas for topics to write about as well which perhaps many of you would find in it also.ï¿½ Check out his site and free maps if you want to get a better idea and actually read one completely through, they have a wealth of knowledge in them. check it out .

How have you been Mike?
Great collection of resources you put together Mike. Wow I had no idea you were into so many interesting and helpful books. You inspired me to do book reviews on my site in the future.

I wish I could have continued blogging with everyone but I was in my country (Vietnam) for the last 5 weeks. I am happy that I’m back now after an amazing trip.

That’s great Vincent! Glad to hear you had a great trip and are back to blogging now! That’s the nice think about blogging, you can leave it and easily come back at least. I’ve been swamped with some 3D graphics jobs on the side lately so haven’t had as much time myself for blogging lately. Just getting back at it with some new articles now though!

Oh cool Mike, do you have a 3D portfolio site for me to check out your work? I would love to see art from fellow 3D artists.
Do your prefer environmental or character modeling Mike?

Hey Vincent, I primarly do engineering visualizations and hard surface modelling. A fair bit of animation work for DVD/TV and most of that is environments, product simulation and engineering visualizations so I really don’t do much character work at all. You can see more of my stuff at my company website, Ethereal 3D in the portfolio page. There is a full demo reel there if you want to check it out.

Very fresh and clean looking demo Mike…I like it. I’m also more of an environmental modeler. Can’t wait to see more of your work Mike.
One of these days I will do a “creative” topic on my blog and we can share everyone’s creative talents.
