My interests

This page consists of all of my interests with links to resources about them. I have a few interests that I've made into a hobby or just have a fondness for it. One of my hobbies of is 3D modeling, I usually help my friend by modeling props and characters for his game or making models that I can later import into games. Another is trains, I like their history and the engineering behind them, I don't have a model train set but one day I'm hoping to make one. Sharks are also cool, big fan of sharks.

3D Modeling

Blender BlenderGuru BlenderNation
There are many 3D modeling software out there but I personally like using Blender since it's free and has a lot of support. BlenderGuru is a channel on youtube which create a lot of helpful tutorials for anyone who is getting into Blender. Their donut tutorial is a good series to get your foot through the door. BlenderNation is a site that's generally a great place for tutorials, but also to see what other 3D modelers have made using blender.

Trains

Steamtown PA Hyce Distant Signal
Steamtown is a national park in Scranton, PA about steam trains. They offer quite a bit of history about the steam trains that uesd to run in this state. I haven't been there before but I wish to go one day. Hyce is a channel on youtube which goes into the engineering side of trains, train yards, signals, and everything in between. They're a great place to go for more technical knowledge Distant Signal is another channel on yotube. Their content is mainly focused on how trains in general work and what everything involving trains means.

Sharks

Ocearch NOAA Shark Trust
Ocearch is a non profit organization about researching marine animals and offering education on them, including sharks. Their site has a shark tracker to see them in realtime. NOAA is a government funded agency that monitors oceans and atmosphere to understand and predict weather and marine ecosystem changes. The link takes you to a list of endangered and threaten shark species. Shark Trust is an organization that help spread the knowledge of sharks and their conservation. Their site includes a podcast as well as a bunch of education material on sharks.
