First post of december?

Well actually it isnt, I’ve set up a secret blog documenting progress on my secret project. I’ll merge it with this one when its not so secret. for now though, I got bored and made this this evening:

Hey rebels, my droid happened to have these plans on it…

it’s been a while since I’ve teased about a project,I forgot how good it feels when I know everything and you know only what I tell you! >:)


Normals practice, Unity embedding

Been playing around with getting multi-res detail on low res models in blender today, and now I’m playing around with embedding unity on the blog 🙂

still needs some work but its getatable.

Monster time

No nanowrimo stuff today (may not actually get any more done this month) but I am crashing at my mum’s now and have been playing around with the blender 2.5 alpha.

I have to admit since watching Logan’s timelapse building the models for our miniLD game I realised how… ‘flat’ my models are, and for alot of stuff I prefer that, but I dont want to feel it’s something I’m limited too, and because my approach to limitations is to kick them in the shin I am playing around with more ‘sculpty detail’ models.


Day 27, copy/pasta on this scale is almost painful D:

Didn’t write a single word today so I’m not going to bother with the stats, but I did set up a new wordpress installation on my site for the novel so people could read it online more easily than the pdf. you can check it out here, but it’s more or less the same as the last pdf.

however, I didn’t realise just how much goes on in my story until today, it hit me twice, once when I thought ‘oh I’ll list all the illustrations I want done’, and that turned out to be 100+ and it hit me the second time when I made the chapter list.

now I know a fair few of my chapters are deliberately short for example:

Chapter 91: Some time passes.

Uneventfully.

however even still, alot more happens in this book than I was expecting, there are alot more battles, relationships and backstory things than I ever expected there would be. I guess writing is as suprising for the author as for the reader.

anyhoo, that’s me done for today, I recenlty had an an injection that screws with my hormones and makes me tired so I’m off to bed.

oh, btw if anyone knows any fansubbing group that releases kampfer the day after it airs I’d be very much in your debt ^_^
