My first car (Part II)

Posted by , 07 January 2005 -

· 18 views

Work has progressed a bit on my car; the front is now complete and I've started refining the side.

Here's a test render I did with a proper car texture. I haven't worked out how to get rid of the odd background properly yet.

My first car

Posted by , 02 January 2005 -

· 10 views

I've been playing with 3D modelling a lot recently (as blog readers will know) and before I get down to some animation I needed to get a car out of my system because they look so cool. This is my first attempt at one, it's an Audi A3 Sportsback.

It's a work in progess so there's plenty more to do and stuff to fix, but I think it's...

I can't believe some people are human

Let me ask you a simple question: Do you know what major event happened on Saturday night/Sunday morning?

Do you know? Do you care?

In case you don't know, an earthquake struck under the surface of the indian ocean, causing a tidal wave that has killed, so far, 60,000 people.

I have to ask whether you know because judging by the posting patterns on...

I'm Animated

I've decided where I want to go with my life. I've decided that, in the long term, web design/programming isn't what I want to do full-time.

Ever since I first saw Wallace & Gromit in the early 90's, I've loved animation. I remember buying a plasticine pack and making my own versions. Unfortunately our video camera wasn't...

Odd Offer

Posted by , 10 December 2004 -

· 7 views

Just like on the internet, our house gets loads of junk mail through the door for various pizza places, chinese takeaways, indian takeaways etc. etc. We don't mind those too much because they can come in handy some nights.

Anyway, yesterday we got one through the door for Pizza Go-Go (not sure if this is a chain or not). Most flyers have an offer of...

Your rediculous at spelling. They're, I said it.

It seriously irks me that an enormous number of young people cannot spell simple words to save their life. With some words, it's not that they can't spell them but rather they use the wrong spelling. The English language is a pain like that, but it's no excuse. If they thought about what they were typing it would be easy. It actually hurts my...

David Blunkett and his 'scandal'

Posted by , 06 December 2004 -

· 5 views

Let me start with a summary before expanding: "Who cares?".

Every day at the moment, David Blunkett is on the front pages because of a huge scandal that has engulfed his country. The scandal? He put a visa application at the top of the pile. Honestly, you would think there are more important things happening in the world, like, for instance, a...

I've realised why I don't do anything, ever

Posted by , 29 November 2004 -

· 5 views

I have a problem in that I can never concentrate on something for long, nothing gets finished because I start something else first. I thought about it and I think I know why... I'm too creative.

It sounds daft, but it isn't really. Because I'm interested in so many creative things, I keep wanting to try something else, but the result is nothing...
