What are we building?

In the 2017-2018 season the Scenario in Computer Modeling was to build a Steam Locomotive.
I honestly have to give it to the creators of this scenario because building a steam powered train just sounds like 
FUN!!!!
Needless to say, the first thing that we need to do is research...


A little bit of my Philosophy to life

A winning entry is not just about the model!!!

​

A winning entry is an absolute feast for the eyes and includes EVERYTHING!!!!
​

A winning entry has a beautiful Model, Textures, Lighting, Rendering, Backdrop, and Environment for everything to live in.

If you want to Win, Succeed in life, Get HIRED, Stay Employed, be Promoted, 
always give them MORE THAN WHAT THEY ASK FOR!!!!


Lazy people are EVERYWHERE!!!
