Intro to Caden

              Okay so I am not to good at these kinds of social things but ill do my best so bear with me. Hi. I'm Caden. I think I'm going to make this blog be about what I do to keep busy when I am not at school. I'm was born in Dallas but raised her pretty much all my life. So lets get started.

 

               I am quite young to be here. 16. Its quite intimidating with all these older people here. I have not had a proper public school experience since elementary and I am an only child (which is a rarity it seems these days). I skipped all of high school and got my high school diploma when I was 15. Then I took the placement test at Lonestar when turned 16, and placed advanced rather than having to take remedial. I have grown up with a lot of variety in my life. My father is an IT and also a set designer for live stage productions. My mother is a theatre arts teacher. I have been in many live stage productions but and I always loved both tech and art but I couldn't really have one without the other. It took a while to find something that I really loved doing that was also productive. I have taught myself several programming languages including HTML, Visual Basic, C#, C++, Java and CSS. I developed the website for my first job which was at a restaurant down town when I was 15 and launched it. I liked coding, I still do but it still misses that art component that I really want. Then I started working with Autodesk, 3DS Max when I was 13. 

                 I could create anything I wanted on a 3 dimensional scale. I could work on the computer with mathematics and geometry while having the artistic part of it I was looking for. That's when I really started getting interested in what I wanted to have for a career. I want to do special effects for films and even more so for games. Like most 16 year olds, I like video games but I think I had more respect for the developers than just the games themselves. I wanted to build digital architecture, animate, design and program. And that's what I have been doing. I am terrible at drawing and sketching but with these programs that I have taught myself how to use, I can create with mathematics and my imagination and whatever scale I want.

                  Sorry if this post is a bit long. I think my next post will be more about me rather than my work. Thanks for taking the time to read!
