All About Evil

Just in case anybody missed my intro post, here’s the skinny on the dude runnin’ the blog.

My name is Chris Martin (no, I’m not the lead singer of Cold Play, it’s actually a very common name.) but I’m known on some of the 3D art forums as evil_genius_180.  I’m 33 years old and I’m from Dayton, Ohio.  I’m not married and my work isn’t exciting, so we won’t be going into any of that.  My hobbies are reading, writing (though I do that too infrequently) playing video/computer games and 3D art.  I also enjoy building computers and configuring hardware & software, but I don’t do programming.  I also don’t do MySpace, Facebook, YouTube or Twitter.  None of that stuff interests me.  This blog is my own little space and I feel it’s more personal than an account on MySpace, Facebook or Twitter.

This blog will mostly attempt to showcase my 3D art.  I’ve been in love with Science Fiction all my life and Star Trek in particular since the early ’90s.  So, most of the 3D art I do is Star Trek related, though I do occasionally dabble in other genres and original stuff.  I work in a program called trueSpace by Caligari. Here’s their website:  http://www.caligari.com/ I’ve been using trueSpace since 2000, though I’ve really only been doing this stuff seriously for the past 4 years.  I’m currently using trueSpace 4 to model and trueSpace 7 to render.  I also use a variety of other programs, including Gimp, Wings 3D, Windows Paint and Inkscape in my art.  I’ve also been dabbling a bit with the open source program Blender but I’m not very good with it.  I need much more practice because it’s miles away from trueSpace.

Here's a little sample of the type of stuff I do
