It dawned on me that something had to have blown the skull open, and what stylish thing would look good while doing that?  Skull Candy headphones.

Dry Run at a Motherboard with Icon'istic Parts

This was after many hours of work.  I still have a bit to get done, but this is a start.  Note the Ram Chip and Video Card.  :)

A Controlled Array on a Bezier Curve

This is a chain link with a Modifier called Array, after the array was attached, a Bezier Curve was created in the back ground in the shape I needed all the chain links connected.  After creating the Bezier, you add another modifier to the chain link called "Curve".  At the base of the curve modifier, you must attach the named Bezier to the chain link.  Then click add numbers to increase the number of links in the array and you may have to move the array over to the Bezier  if it shows up elsewhere.

I had to model this hand, but finding a good background image to put it into was hard.  Here is the final result.

Fire Worm Array

This one just looked sooo Cool!

Bug Thingy "All One Piece Mirrored"

This was harder because it was all one piece.  Ambient Occlusion was only .13 with two external lamps.  I used my first Bee image "No Mirror" to make this one with Mirroring.

Mirroring Practice SpaceShip

I lost the file after making the picture, but it looked pretty cool.

Array Render

This took about 2 minutes to render.  It looks pretty cool!!

Rendered in 35 Seconds

This Shell thingy locked up the computers at school.   LOL  Just 35 seconds and it was finished at home.

Array x 2

Tricky, but needs an empty, then attach array with obj attached to array.  Crank the numbers!

My Second Day "Honey Bee"

Learned how to group grab area's and stretch with the scroll sizing the area.

Learned about inserting and Empty, then taking a piece of an object and pasting it in while using the Array, you can multi circle, or multi line the same object in an arch, straight or to create a new circular object.

"F" fills the area selected by either edge or verticies.  
The alfa channel with Ztransparent makes good bee wings.
