Working on this one still, needs a little better lighting as to what’s going on outside.

New Renders…

Just a little bit of playing around…
I was actually going to upload this a while ago, but life got in the way and new settings on the server had to be fixed first.

Cat in my lap….

So I’ve got CC sitting in my lap purring away as I type this. She’s curled up in a ball against my chest napping. I’ve been working on work stuff this evening and trying to help Pooks with her stuff. Finishing off the long Thanksgiving weekend with work… mainly because I’ve put it off for too long.
I did another render, but it’s kind of darker than my usual fair. I like it though. It’s here.
I’ve switched over to my PC from using my mac. Pooks needed the laptop for her work and so she’s got it. I went ahead and upgraded my PC though, 2GB RAM and Nvidia 7600GT video card. The graphics are GREAT now! Just awesome, I can’t say how good things look now. It’s not the latest and greatest video card, but it makes this machine scream!
So I’ll disturb CC a little to go to bed now. Thanksgiving was a hoot, the cats provided most of the entertainment. We’re still eating turkey. I’ve enjoyed my time off.

Another Day…

Well more time spent rendering. It’s amazing how much work it is to pose an image on a computer fix up their clothes, hair, legs, arms, joints, fingers, head, neck and eyes before you get something presentable. It takes more work than I thought. I also want each figure somewhat unique and different, so taking standard character maps and modifying them, or doing post processing is also taking longer than I thought.
Last night I made a dud. It may go into the calendar, but if not that’s ok… What calendar you may ask? I had the keen idea of trying my hand at doing a pin-up girl calendar. I had started one of family photos but I never finished it (80% done, but several of the images got corrupted and so I’ll have to redo them.) I wanted to do this as a challenge for myself to make something and seems like a pin-up calendar would be kinda cool. If this comes out ok, I may do a sci-fi/fantasy one next.
If you get a chance check out the blog of CellBlock36. This post especially is quite good.

New Render up….
Posted by Donald on Aug 16, 2007 in 00News and Notes, 3D
I did a new render this evening, I am pleased with it. It is over at my comic site. I must warn you though it is not safe for work, it contains mild nudity.

A scary number on the scale. So Helen and I started walking last night. Getting into the habit and keeping it will be hard, but we can do it.
We’re back to church hunting again. I like the one close by, but it’s a little too overly-friendly for my Episcopalian background. Episcopalians have a habit of being stand-offish and somewhat stuck-up, so it’s hard to come into a very touchy-feely church for me. I’m not sure why Pooks doesn’t like it. Either way we are off into church shopping land again. I’m ready to settle into someplace though.
I have been commissioned for some more 3D renders! That is very cool news and of course something I enjoy anyway. It’s hard to go back to GIS programming instead of just working on the renderings. It’s also hard to resist the urge to buy up every 3D model I can. Unfortunately my bank account is holding me back too.
