Captain Pineapple has arrived!

First post for Captain Pineapple. AKA: Steve Muller

Welcome citizens to my blog! I am the one and only Captain Pineapple.

Whilst sitting here sipping a nice cup of Darjeeling and with 'Pete and the Pirates' playing in the background, I finally return to actually make something out of this blog. I'm still new to the whole blogging process, as I have never done something like this before. I have vehemently insulted and generally bad-mouthed the entire Blog-culture for it's pretentious "Look at me! Isn't my life and viewpoints soooo amazing?" style... yet here I am now. Before you ask what 'converted' me over to the dumb-side, I am still a great hater of blogs. I just have to make one for my assignment.

In lieu of this, I quite like the idea of blogs as opposed to a full written assignment. For one thing, the work can be spaced over several weeks, rather than sitting up at 4am with a strong mug of coffee, tapping out 2000 words of complete rubbish before the deadline the following day. And also because I have the habit of rambling, the lack of word count is particularly refreshing. It is also rather informal, which is awesome. I mean, what essays allow you the title "Captain Pineapple goes 3D" and the usage of words such as "Bamboozle"?

If you haven't bothered to read the sub-title of the whole blog, this is for the Module "3D Modelling and Animation". Making use of '3D Studio Max', we have to construct 3D objects, funnily enough. This blog is here to detail and outline the things learnt each week, as well as mini projects and images I try out and throw together.

Blogs are generally pointless, so I want to make mine somewhat useful. With the images I create, I will try and compile a "How did I do that?" post, to detail the construction (and to prove I made it). That way, for those of you also new to 3DS Max, you might learn a few things. However, a basic knowledge is recommened.

Captain Pineapple.... Away!
