Deviation Actions
Reason for my inactivity lately on DevArt is to do with the SinR paintball gun design deviation I submitted, it was seen and wanted by two paintball manufacturers, and I can happily say the SinR will be mass produced. I can't give out details on who is making it, or specs etc, but it's going to be a big hit in the paintball industry.
It's really odd and hard to grasp, as it seems like a dream, but is very real.
I've been spending pretty much all my spare time lately converting the model from Cinema4D to SolidWorks, as there turned out to be too many complications trying to get the .c4d file into a format that could be 5-axis milled. So that involved learning to surface model in solidworks, which was easier than expected, but the SinR shape proved to be alittle difficult to create.
As soon as I'm allowed to release photos of the real, finished paintball gun, I'll submit them as a deviation for ya'll to see.
Never underestimate free internet publicity, it can go a long way.

Oh, hi.
'Ello DeviantArtists.
Been a while since I've submitted anything, these days I don't get time to 'play' and the design work I do isn't public yet. But as an update to anybody who cares enough to read it:
The "SinR" paintball gun that was submitted in my gallery is a real, working, gun. It's in production now and the first shipment hits the shelves in the US in a few weeks. Europe and the rest of the world will follow shortly after. They retail for us$1150 which may sound expensive but in comparison to the guns it's competing against it's very well priced. I've also done other gun designs for the same company which will see production shortl
Hire me!
I've just come off a fairly large freelance project, and have spare time once again. If anybody has any visualisation work they need done, contact me at:
Lx.Hodge@gmail.com
please provide as much information about the project as you can in order for me to accurately price it.
Because I live in New Zealand, the exchange rate works slightly in my favour and I can afford to work for a relatively low US$ rate.
Cheers :)
Been a while..
Been ages since I wrote a journal thing. Thought I'd update ya'll on what I'm up to, incase anyone cares :)
I got a job, working as a product designer for escea (www.escea.co.nz) designing gas fireplaces. It's all good fun so far, and I'm the only graduate from my class of 14 to get a job in the design field, so I count myself pretty lucky. So yea, that's keeping me pretty busy lately.
My Hawk concept bike got featured on core77.com, coroflot.com, yankodesign.com, carbodydesign.com, and a few others I've forgotten. A few magazines have gotten in touch with me about printing articles, we'll see how that turns out.
