We'll miss you Norm.

I'm incredibly sadden to write that a couple days ago, my teacher and friend Norm Schureman passed away in a tragic shooting.

During my time at Art Center I had him as a teacher, and later helped him as a teacher assistant. He was always encouraging. He would often let you know you did a good job with a pat in the back and an "adda boy!" To him we the students were an extension of his family. He wore no mask. When you took his class you really got a chance to see who he was, something I've experienced in less than a handful of instructors.

I had alot of respect for him, and will carry him in memories and in my heart.

Thanks Norm.

Got my Squidolin photographed!

Hello everyone,
Just yesterday I went to Art Center to get my Squidolin photographed. The pictures turned out great thanks to Steven Heller (ACCD photographer). I'm including these pictures as part of my submission to the IDSA competition held yearly. Wish me luck :)

3d squidolin

After a couple of days of modeling, I finally finished the Squidolin... again. This time in 3d studio max. I'm really diggin' this software, it's faster than solidworks and SUPER organic. Polygonal modeling takes a little time getting used to, but I like the smooth results. I will soon post it on my site ( www.crmendez.com ).

Peace out.

3d for fun. all 3dsmax. peace out.

Another day of work. Will post as soon as I get new stuff!

Happy holidays everyone.

The pocket knife.

Built in 3ds max, rendered in vray.

Looking at some old work, I came across some life drawing work. Mostly charcoal.
