Nikon NIR

2010-12-16T22:47:00.000-08:00

I haven't posted here in a LONG time, way too long.
I'll start out one of my very few fully textual posts with some recent events, and then probably stop immediately afterwards.

I used to have Ubuntu and Windows 7 running together on the same machine, until it failed, miserably. As of yet I have no idea what the problem was and is. XP, Vista, and Win 7 all fail at installation, and Ubuntu is the only OS that works on this machine. The last failure at installing XP cause my Ubuntu partition to fail to boot as well, and I was unable to recover with my LiveUSB. Since then I have downloaded and installed Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and have yet to have any problems, though I have yet to test my steam games in wine.

In graphical areas I hope to start using Yafray or some similar ray-tracer as I now have a quad core, and the render times are hopefully down enough for them to actually be feasible. Other than that I am hoping to take part in a L4D mod, more to come some time in the near or distant future.

Photography wise I now have a new Nikon D3100. Thus hopefully I will have more new content on my youtube page as I start taking video. I have also modded my D60 for Infrared photography and both of these have since been used in a short animation.Though I won't be editing this one, just video and possibly choosing the music.

To finish off I may or may not be going to Mexico. I'm still not really sure of what is happening but I may or may not post before during or after I get there if I ever actually go there.

Hope the music fits...

More Freestyle NPR

2009-10-28T20:41:00.000-07:00

With regards to the email I received from Tamito KAJIYAMA here are some other (less and more successful) blender/freestyle renders. Including one plain render for reference.

NPR rendering with Freestyle and Blender

2009-07-30T23:54:00.001-07:00

Some NPR renders done in a blender/freestyle build. models were assembled in 3D Inventor and exported as stl and imported into blender. Tone effect done With Post post processing.

PS Freaks Intro

2009-07-12T00:33:00.000-07:00

As the PS Freaks website has been down for a while i decided i might as well upload the work i did for them, as it has yet to be used or seen... Made in blender.

A building

2009-06-26T12:35:00.000-07:00

Building modeled and rendered in blender. modeled in a modular design so every floor is a copy of the lower. AO is baked into the texture, took a lot of tweaking to make the lighting look alright.

2009-05-22T23:02:00.000-07:00

Some playing with Icarus and blender. Again, i did not make the robot, i only rigged it. And my camera has a very bad frame rate.

Drawn

2009-03-08T20:56:00.000-07:00

Because of digital media class iv been doing more 2d work. I usuely don't do much 2d stuff so its a bit of a change. White and red backgrounds because i noticed on an lcd monitor you cant really tell the shade of the skin very well with the white background but overall it looks better on white.

new video stuff

2009-02-07T22:56:00.000-08:00

New stuff

2009-02-07T22:49:00.000-08:00

Stop motion animation

2008-05-02T23:01:00.000-07:00

A cople laps around the Quea. XSI compositing and 145 pictures.

2008-04-19T23:38:00.000-07:00

Working on the model of a friend's head. Still some tweaking, needs textures, and uv unwrapping.

slower quick flight

2008-04-19T11:35:00.000-07:00

Redid the animation. slower, and longer.

Updates

2008-04-18T21:50:00.000-07:00

Some updates i havent put up.

Robot

2008-03-22T16:29:00.000-07:00

A robot I got from Think Tank walking down a textured plane. Animated and rendered in XSI.

Software Experamentation

2008-03-18T00:31:00.000-07:00

I have been experimenting in SXI as well as blender,same model as before only rendered in XSI.

New model, body

2008-03-13T15:23:00.000-07:00

596 polygons and 3 triangles, Aproximat Ambiant Occlusion, Sub Surface Scatering.

700W blue screen

2008-03-06T19:20:00.000-08:00

Recently I rigged a blue screen with 700W of lights. This is still barely enough to light the screen( this is not including the lights for lighting the subject which is about 230W), the fact i have the wrong shade of blue doesn't help this much. although evin with the difficulties it still works fairly well with blender (blender 2.46RC1).

New model

2008-02-27T21:56:00.000-08:00

It's a new pic, a rifle. Not much to say, approximate ambient occlusion.

First Pay: Midwifery Care North Shore

2008-02-18T21:52:00.001-08:00

First time payed for for making something on the computer, a panflit for Midwifery Care North Shore (link). And if you can beleive it it was the FIRST time i actually used the program for making something! Ushualy the program is just siting on my HDD not used but for just in case, and evin then i never use it.

2008-02-17T21:20:00.000-08:00

If anybody has a character desine, sketch, exetera, that they would allow me to attempt to model in 3d could you please let me know.I myself cannot draw well enough to make a character reference to model from so i ask if any one would let me model from one of they're drawings.

Mushroom

2008-02-17T21:03:00.000-08:00

An old pic i like for some reason. nothing much, just a mushroom.
