You know, I used to be a very strict modeller. I would read game design sites, ArchViz articles and industry animators on subjects of topology and modelling. However, it would take me an age and a day to create the stuff I wanted. My models were basically production ready.

Then it dawned me. I'm not in any industry working to do this stuff. My models will never be used for games or movies. Then I read a blog of this guy who did a project called "10 Days of Robots".

He created a project whereby he made 1 robot every day. Really high quality stuff. Amazing work. How did he do it 1 day? Well he explains quite well. He threw all the convential production methods out the window and just hacked things together. And the models were amazing.

So, I decided to adopt that philosophy. I've been creating stuff much faster, and quite frankly I've been having more fun as I see results in a timely manner.
