Baking, and Knights from the future

well I spent this morning learning how to do even cooler baking… baking normals on my meshes of course:

and after learning this cool goodness, I sketched up a character design I could 3D-ify to make use of this magic:

and once sketched, I began to 3D:

well its not finished yet of course, but I’m allowed to put that here, this is my crappy blog after all πŸ™‚


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:

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,Β and because my approach to limitations is to kick them in the shin I am playing around with more ‘sculpty detail’ models.


Day 23, uuuuuugh -_-

Today I only wrote 903 words… and they all suck πŸ™

  • Total Words: 40,508
  • Today’s words: 903

new chapters start… 93: Fair_Day23

Its mostly because I am writing stuff I have been building up to for ages and I’m finding that it’s difficult to get the right tone, so I’m just wading through it as best I can and once I’ve written the rest I’ll come back to this stuff.

also I started storyboarding a trailer but I doubt I’ll ever get round to making it, I dont have the time and there are other projects that will have to take priority (very exciting and cool projects) in december.

bleeeeh, I’ll go at it full steam tommorow. I need to veg out listening to music tonight I think

edit: after watching Logan in super speed I figured I’d check out this multires stuff in blender, and it turns out blender can do what I liked about z-brush but for free, so yay. this guy was made from a cube:

miniLD#14 is it a comedy or a tradgedy?

its a collaborative miniLD this time (awesome idea and theme thanks to terry)

I’m working with My bestest buddy Logan (a.k.a ArabFlak), he’s using his amazing 3D and texturing skills, I’musing my mediocre coding and animation abilities, and so far we have freaky shit:

Why this guy was given nipples is beyond me, but at the same time its totally awesome
