Epiphone Les Paul Special II Electric Guitar, Ebony



My Epiphone Les Paul Special II electric guitar arrived!! Only $150 on Amazon!

Schlage FE575 PLY 626 ELA Plymouth Keypad Entry


Installed the Schlage FE575 PLY 626 ELA Plymouth Keypad Entry for a small home upgrade. So easy, so sweet and no more worrying about keys! Only $115 on Amazon. Now I'm eyeing occupancy sensors for my bathrooms :)

Oral-B Professional Care SmartSeries 5000 Fixed!



Bought the Oral-B Professional Care SmartSeries 5000 Rechargeable Toothbrush in September of 2010 for $105 on Amazon. Condensation build-up inside my electric toothbrush killed it, but simply disassembling and letting it dry out brought it back to life! $100 saved!

Basic 3D Man

Started as a box, which I formed into a shoe and finally became a cartoony man. 3D is so time consuming...
Project time: 4 hours


Note to self:
Box > Edit Poly > Symmetry > Mesh Smooth (2 iterations)
Created half the body with vertex points at the center of the body set to 0 on the x-axis. When mirrored in Symmetry modifier over the x-axis, the points weld together automatically and perfectly.

Basic 3D Rabbit

Don't judge me... I'm going back to basics since I haven't touched 3D in a while...
Project time: 2 hours


Note to self
It's difficult to map textures to the model without using details in the polygon model as a reference.
