I am FranOnTheEdge - aka Fran Baker

I have been using 3D software for some years now, beginning with Poser3D and then - much more me - Bryce3D. Bryce is now Bryce6 although materials animation is busted in 6 so for that I go back to Bryce5.5c.

I have over the years since then also expanded my knowledge base to include:
Cinema4D
Wings3D
Maya
Corel PaintShopPro PhotoX2
Adobe PhotoShop CS4
Adobe After Effects CS4
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
StopMotionPro
UleadVideoStudio
HDRShop

and I have some knowledge of:
Flash
Dreamweaver
Blender
Carrara5Pro (6 arriving soon)
DazStudio
Hexagon
VuePioneer7

I have always enjoyed modeling in both 3D and real "hands on" clay, card, paper, wire, glue, paint - etc etc - modeling.

I also have a keen interest in Photography, that reminds me I must just dash out and photograph that rust I just saw – while the light is good.....

But one bit of rust is never enough, and you can never have enough rust, rust is good, rust is beautiful!

Er... I'm also very interested in Textures, and have extended that into UVMapping so that I can put loads of rust onto my models.... if I want to.

I've recently – due to the University course [BA (Hons) Animation] that I'm doing - got more into organic modeling as well, and I am still refining a KangerCroc bipedal creature, and I have a few preliminary sketches of other characters I'd like to make in the future, probably over the summer.
