SPONTANEITY IN CG: a rant

A cold foreign environment, devoid of appeal. An empty desolate space with which we design.

When we first started learning 3d at Calarts I hated it. Our first assignment was to put apples on a table in 3d space. All we had to do was manipulate them in the environment. I yelled, "THIS IS LIKE LANDING A SPACESHIP", while my friend Charlotte Jackson, laughed and did it easily.

I made a big joke out of it, but I was legitimately frustrated.

I felt like if I couldn't do something so simple, it wasn't my fault. I felt it was a problem with the way that the program was designed. 

In retrospect I think thats a great attitude. 

HELLO WORLD

GUERILLA CG is all about breaking down the barriers, yo! This is where we share ALL THE SECRETS. 

We are going to give you workflow breakdowns, shortcuts, tools and even philosophy sometimes, cus thats just how we roll. 

Who are we?? The main contributors will be myself, Michael Piazza and Theresa Latzko. We go to Calarts, and we specialize in CG. Each of us has totally different experience and style.

We share the opinion that sharing our ideas and increasing the accessibility of an incredibly powerful tool is a good idea.

I hope we can increase the capacity for strong artists and designers to express themselves with this tool, and explore the seemingly limitless potential of this medium.
