Neat Microphone's "King Bee"

3dmodelling electronics house products

Here's a model of the "King Bee", a microphone by Neat Microphones that I recently purchased for my studio.

Since I bought this house, I've been creating and maintaining a 3D model of the rooms and what's in them. It comes in really handy for furniture buying (I can quickly whip up cupboards, shelves, etc. and then slide them around to see what fits) and decorating (I can color/paper the walls and take a look around in VR).

I've slowly been going through and getting through my studio equipment. This is the latest mic in my collection. Here are some shots of it in-engine and a wireframe:

Here's what a photo of the actual mic looks like:

Who I am

I'm Blake and I like to tinker with things and make stuff. When I'm not programming or developing random systems, I'm playing with electronics, doodling bits of art, 3D modelling or sculpting and painting things or nerding out watching sci-fi or horror TV.

From 2001 I worked in the games industry, eventually specialising in tools to aid in the development of video games and their engines. In 2011 I left the industry and teamed up with a few other talented composers to utilise my knowledge to help build the company 'Spitfire Audio'.

I also periodically compose soundtracks for video-games and have worked on titles such as The Stanley Parable and Portal Knights. You've probably also heard my music in random TV commercials at some point.

I use various bits and bobs to craft my shiz.
