The 2010 World Cup being hosted in South Africa has brought of limelight on the country.
With alot of things happening, with recessing behind our back with are going along, exceptially with the building of the Staduims and the renovations of some of them.

There are 10 Stadium for the World Cup...




From these 10 Staduims 6 of them where constructed....
And my favourite Stadium of them is Moses Mabhiha in Durban, Kwazulu Natal.








The stadium was named after a hero of the working class. It is located adjacent
the ABSA Stadium in the Kings Park Sporting Precinct, a site located in Stamford
Hill, is yet to be another world class multi-purpose stadium set to make possible
successful history in the 2010 Fifa World Cup.


- The staduim will host 70 000 spectator seats.

- 50 percent of the seats will be accessible from the main entrance while

This Stadium is owned by the South African Football Association and put to

There can always just be one winner or is are there two....and the winnner is?????

In the industry today 3D modeling are the ways of bringing forward the buildings or
object must better, making it look real and must better understood.

With the improvement in technology the building of physical models are sometimes
very time consuming but it is still done by may companies..

There quite alot of these programmes in the market.
I just choose four that i think fall in the top 5, but you can differ with me....

With the new program new challengers starts and new headaches...
Starting with this new programs there is way of making a person go back
to what you know and comfortable with.
Having started with 3D max, makes my current program look like a joke,
with the way of complication.

The first exercise give was the lighting tutotial, of which we were given
four different room, with different light pionts.
1. hanging light
2. downlights
3. wall lights
4. daylight thru a window.

This exercise really took alot of patience from me cause it really
was not easy.

After everything this was the complete lighting tutorial.
