About Me

Not a vast amount to tell. My names John, I'm 22. I choose the slightly strange handle of KillMeNow because I wanted something abit different. I have heard rumours there is another one out there but I'm sure he copied me. I live in Scotland, studying graphic design at Perth College, which is not really what I want to do but its a just a route on a long road to where I want to go, which is 3D design and animation, for television and film. While I'm not brilliant yet, its something I enjoy doing and hopefully with enough practice I will get there.

For most of what I do I use Lightwave 7, an excellent program and often underated by some people (Max users mostly....Joking). I also use several programs such as terragen and a demo of Vue 4. For 2D art I use Photoshop 6 and Paintshop Pro 7.

I do all my modeling and animating on (at present) a 1GHz Athlon with 512 mb of ram and a GeForce 2 graphics card, however I have just ordered a dual Athlon 1800+ with 1024 mb of DDR ram and a GeForce 4 ti4600 from Computech in perth where I also got my current computer from.

I got into 3D modeling after getting interested in game modding. That must have been oh about a year ago now. It took me a while but evenually I got my own ships into the game freespace 2. they weren't much but they worked. Once I joined The Babylon Project things speeded up since I could ask for help from some of the most experianced members of the comunity, However my job was making the weapons for the mod, so mostly I continued to learn modeling by myself.

Now while far from professional, I can model basic things and I am trying to brach out and move away from spaceships and try most organic things like plants and animals. I will be adding some custom trees to my gallery soon.
