Hey everyone, I'm Ben from Victoria in Australia. My passion has always been music and really anything to do with computers, and I'm constantly expanding my skillbase and trying new things. I'm 17 years old and in my last year of school, then I'll be moving onto a game programming course for a few years. The first program I ever used was Flash back in the days when Macromedia was head to head with Adobe, and I mastered that program over the 7 and 8 years of using it. Throughout that time I had moved into just about every possible area - xhtml, css, php, javascript, c++, actionscript, 2D animation, game development, vector design, logos, website design, photography, photomanipulation, icon design, concept art, film (and more) - except for 3D. The past 4 months I have been teaching myself modelling in 3Dsm for a game that a mate and I are developing, except 3Dsm has really caught my interest and I can't stop using it. I'm trying to teach myself every aspect of it, but it's such a large and overwhelming program that it's probably going to take quite a long time.

I've already met some of you guys over in the help section smile.gif

Ben.

Hey man welcome to the site! Good to have another aussie.

You do have a wicked guitar, I use a modified RG370DX myself. Just replaced all the electronics and blocked the trem.

Also a good set of skills. They will serve you well.

No no videos sorry.

Play stuff like Tool, RATM, Radiohead, used to be right into Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Metallica etc but not so much any more. I lost all my speed.

it happens. i haven't touched my guitar in six months or so, and now i'm just plain afraid it will laugh at me.
there was some point at which i even attempted malmsteen's arpeggios from hell, but now i probably will flop at even alternative rock.

P.S. is there any way to reply to a post using DAFNOT?

Not yet man. Possibly in the future. This is only v1 release to test the waters.

I figure you can never have too many aussies grin.gif

Nice guitar as well, nothing can beat the Ibanez smile.gif I pretty much did exactly the same as you with your guitar - damn floating tremelo's suck, I got mine blocked as well so that I can only bend it up.

Hey Jamie, this is a great site you an VarnishedOtter have here grin.gif My DeviantArt has some little programming tests in Flash ([Link to mediadesign.deviantart.com] ), other than that I don't really have anything live to show. At the moment I'm learning the Unity engine so we can start putting together our game.

I've been dabbling with my own 3d engine in opengl. Its pretty crazy stuff! I think the most fulfilling thing I have ever programmed was a particle system to make a water fountain. Was truly awesome grin.gif
