Photography, I like making images.
Daz is great because thats image making and I can't draw or paint.
I can also combine the two in combosite images.
For me my passions are Swing (Lindy Hop) Dancing !! love swing Jazz (late parents WW2 veterans) I was their lovable mistake child later on in their lives LOL and was intreaged when i was a small child my parents then in thier 40s out to family gatherings showing their lindy moves :) so they influenced my tast in music a great deal !!
Plus this side of the pond UK In my youth ( Although the wife maintains i am only 12) LOL I was/ am into Northern Soul and of the age that would go to all nighters at Wigan Casino and still now get a buzz dancing to old soul classics and Swing dance have made great many friends and have had the oppertunity to travel to some great venues in Europe dancing keeps me fit too !!!
Swing and soul not the only type of music i will listen too Classical , Opera, House, Techno, In the 198os i was in ny 20s and 30s so that era in music is played a lot in our household :) I have a motto If I hear it and like it then the track goes on my play lists !!
I also play blues guitar badly :)
My main Passion and why I got into 3d is Pastel Figure / Portrait painting and although have been striving like many here to achieve realistic renders in 3D I still use Daz for my traditional art
Hello AJ2112, I'm a retired computer software/network engineer. I designed and implemented multitasking/multiprocessor operating systems by myself before Microsoft had Windows. Research mostly for the Kennedy Space Center(KSC) and for the Mitre Corporation think tank in Washington, DC. But several other interesting places and projects too. I got my start in 3D graphics at the KSC back in the late '70s drawing animated 3D wireframe objects in my spare time on a small (3 racks of equipment) $50,000 research "minicomputer" with only 32KB (Kilobytes not Megabytes) of memory and a $10,000 vector graphic display terminal with a tiny, monochrome(green) 10 inch screen. Wrote ALL of the graphic software myself, no commercial software available for that machine. Also had to write the floating-point mathematics library and the hard drive storage driver for it too. Using punch cards & papertape as input media.
Computer power has gone up in the last 40 years, and price has come down a bit too. 
Outside of the computer world I've been a photographer, SCUBA diver, surfer, bodybuilder, motorcyclist, and frustrated amateur classical pianist. Now I'm just a fat old man poking the young'uns in this forum to get them to bark, or extolling the beauty of classical music and trying to keep it alive, or telling stories of the old days in the previous millenium to put them to sleep.
Thank you very much . I've been playing piano and Guitar for a little over 35 years so I guess I shoul know how to play it by now . I have a grandson thats 12, My Ibanez is almost is old as I am..lol I bought back in 1981 its road star series a Studio version for doing in studio recording I also have a older fender strat I play out in public
I use to have tons of copy songs of Heart . But capital records hit me on YouTube for copyright infringements and made me take them all down , even though it was actually me playing and singing the songs..lol Yes I sing too,.. I guess I must have been to convincing of a copy play..lol
this is is a video of me playing Rush 2112 . no vocals, its when I sing I get hit for the copyright stuff.
I make stuff. Beads, beaded jewelry, hand painted fabric, quilts, rag rugs from scrap fabrics, turning clothing into other clothing or tote bags, handmade paper, dreamcatchers, useful things from plastic grocery sacks. The list goes on. I visit craft fairs with a note book. I color stuff. I love to paint, but not to draw. I am obsessed with color and design. I am obsessed with creating repeating patterns. I went to art school (Columbia College Chicago, graduating class of '96) with a major in photography, and studies in typography, art history, and fashion design. I love to sculpt clay and create things with my hands.
I also like jigsaw puzzles and Pokemon.
HI Kyoto, your welcome. That's a large kite collection, would love to see your kites That is to cool, some amazing kite control, I have never seen anyone perform with a kite like that, walking kite is mind blowing. Thanks for share. Long as you had fun in competitions, never know someday you might just get out an show your stuff.
Really cool, you was able to meet someone famous, sorry to read of his passing, bet he put on some wonderful shows. Airshows are awesome ! I watch em online almost everynight, no joke. Amazing what humans are capable of doing with aviation technology. P-51 flight was a super thrill for yeah, I'm still jealous, Lol !!! Huh ? know what you mean, I do love roller coaster, closest to flying a jet, when I was a kid, I would imitate flying a jet. Not a Cessna fan thanks to FSX, super hard to control, but P-51 is a beauty
Music and more music. Lots of music. Some vdeo too. Mostly music.
HI Griffin, thanks for sharing, very cool vid, love the jam, fab musicians/singer, very energetic/entertaining. Really love the guitar riffs. I'll check out rest on tube page
Hi Ivy, oh no you did not !!!!!! Lol !!! I was a major Rush fan in my teen years. Your an awesome musician, I'd jam with ya anyday
you play lead to, very cool. Yeah copyright sucks, I had a vid on tube with over a millions views, cause I used a Pink Floyd song, that was removed for copyright, even though I was jammin to a song with no drum tracks. Guitar is a beauty, I love Ibanez guitars. Your not that old, I think it's very cool, even though we age, we continue to enjoy our passion, regardless of age. I became a fan of Ibanez cause of Tony MacAlpine, beautiful sounding guitar. After watching your vid, I jumped on the kit for some Rush jam, loosen up my creaky bones, Rofl !!!!
I freaking love the band Heart
share more with us, love watching music vids 
Thanks for sharing everyone, hope I can reply to all, but right now I'm battling a major chest cold *Ugh* Don't even feel like creating on DS. Everyone have a fab weekend, hopefully I can reply to all next week
My other hobbies are sea fishing,making models and my workshop. The workshop came about because i got into scratchbuilding scale sailing ships( Royal Navy, 1794 to 1813 period) So i ended up buying tools to make other tools so i could accurately cut wood and shape metal parts for the models.
I made a model of a locally 'famous' ship, the HMS Anson, which was sadly wrecked on the local beach at the New Year in 1807 with a massive loss of life, :(
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Anson_(1781)#Shipwreck
In the end i had to sell the model because i didn't have the room to keep it( nearly 6 ft long, 4 ft high and about 2 ft wide, 1/4 inch to the Foot scale)
I was very surprised to be offered £10000 for the model.......
It now resides in the local museum as part of a permanent exhibit
HI Griffin, thanks for sharing, very cool vid, love the jam, fab musicians/singer
Thanks! Yeah, you'll also come across videos for music related to my Daz-powered comic series.
Got a photo of the model, Andy?
I guess I am showing my age..lol I'm in my late 50's
you'll like this one I have to keep it unlisted . this video got me a stalker on youtube. its a old fleetwood mac song GrandMa Plays ~ Rhiannon ~ Fleetwood Mac cover play
Sounds to me a lot of us here are around the same age or close ;). Your musical tastes pretty much mirror mine (another super Rush fan....lol).
Play on! :)
Laurie
Thanks Laurie
You know all the time when I was growing up and was thinking of all the things I could be when I got older . the one thing I never even thought I be would be is wrinkled.
Hahaha...me either. Or gray ;). And the universe's cruel joke - wrinkled on the outside, 18 forever on the inside :P But at least we're still able to hang onto the 18 in some fashion LOL.
Laurie
..is this it?
if that is from the Helston Museum, yup, thats the one i built
"stand atop a spiral stair an oracle come greets me there
he leads me on lightyears away through astral nights.. galactic days
and I see the works of gifted hands as I praise this strange ..and wonderous land!!!."
Ahh.. Ivy where is your carvin double neck??
BTW only a true Rush Fan can name the Drummer
who played with Rush on one album BEFORE Neal Peart!!
(no googling)
Oh and what is "Geddy" Lee's true First name??(no googling)
John Rutsey :)
Had diabetes type one and the amount he drank wasn't doing any favors for his health.
I honestly do not know Geddy's real name. LOL I only know that they're funny guys and very down to earth despite their fame and very fan oriented (other than Peart who is pretty much a loner and anti-social).
Laurie
restoring vintage watches - love to be able to take a flea market find and bring it back to life...... I have a $20 1940's Omega that after lots of TLC looks as it did when it was new.. Major cost in that one was a professional redial..
Hi nicely done on the Original drummer
Actually Geddy Lee's born name is Gary Lee.
However the neighborhood kids would hear his mom
calling him home for dinner with her Thick Romanian(IIRC)
accent where Gary sounded Like "Geddy" and the name stuck.
Cool ! Music trivia. Whom was Pink Floyd's original singer ? Answers less then 2 minutes were googled, Rofl !!!
HI Friend, awesome profession, you had a wonderful career. Back in those day's, those systems were innovative masterpiece. I remember computers being large as buildings, Rofl !!! Wow ! can't imagine, how time consuming that must have been, writing graphic software, thanks for sharing experience. I began using Autocad 10 back in 88, still have school book in my cabinet. Computers have advanced light years since then.
Very cool hobbies you share, I was into body building, love to ride motorcycles, mainly crotch rockets, surfing ! best I could do was lay on top of surf board, ride the waves Rofl !! Now scuba diving, wish I would have pursued, I went to local scuba diving training, but after viewing movies of open water, and instructor stating it's not a swimming pool, my scuba gear began to develop dust and spider webs. You were able to experience classical piano, which is very cool, frustrations can be a masterpiece
Your not alone, think all us old timers do the same. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing ship model !!!!!!!!!!!! Would love to see in real world
Hi Ivy, we were born in the same decade, I'll be 56 in Oct. Yup ! I'll be a grand dad in Sept. Oh goodness, if you never shared, I would have thought late 30's. Great music show, your very talented, lovely voice
You definetly have a strong passion in music, share your heart out, I love watching music vids, I watch drum covers nightly. Enjoy listening to Mac, I have a friend lives in Ohio, friends with Stevie Nicks. I'd share drum vids, but had to remove, actually had to remove a lot of vids for copyright. I like your animation vids, Karate girl is very cool !! Yikes ! stalkers are scary. When I used to do shows in Dallas, I had to dash from drummer crazed females, Lol !!!! Be careful out there.
Well, all my drum vids were removed, but not one of me drag racing my 96 Formula WS6, before my health decline, only 500 made in US
Engine
Drag race
Griffin, your vids are very cool
very entertaining, mixing music with 3D, movies to, really great job putting ideas to animation/video. Like the jams, sweet studio to, look forward to your future creations
