Wiping off that dust all over...

Hey :)

Its been 2 months... and what have I been doing?

Well... mainly 3D work actually... Character design, 2D animation, alot of drawing and the like... pretty fun stuff but, its very tedious and stressful, but hey its fun.

Over the past two months, I've been slogging off on 2D Animation projects, using TAB 3.0, a software to create short animation strips, and now... I have to make a simple animation strip and create a simple 2D character... well she would be like a chibi (AKA Super deformed form) of my 3D character... Which reminds me... my character for the year is Yuki Sukiharu, the gunslinger of the 6 man team in my writing universe, I've used her in drawing, for creation of a character, my 2D animation and my 3D character modelling....

That aside, Ive been doing filming. A musical short film, as a cameraman with a very good team, and im also acting in an action film as a government agent....

Well.. stay tuned, my 3D character will be out soon, in her full glory, guns blazing and stylish postures (That's after i rig her to a skeleton for animation though)

For 2D... its supposed to be a cuter reflection of her... which would add a touch of cuteness to my 2D animation projects.

Lately... i have seem to have gotten nuts over J-Rock bands... like L'arc en Ciel, Gazette, An Cafe, Siam Shade and the like....

Also, Ive been further developing my writing universe to accommodate my future animation projects, which will involve alot of violence, blood, guns, and the like... and dont worry, since Yuki is my character of the year, expect stylish combat and alot of asskicking from her..

Well check back later guys, gonna work on Yuki now :)

Now THAT's a long time

Looking at my old post's date... I have to admit... its been really really long since i last updated... well that's due to the fact that i have things to do

Sadly... I dont have any new 3D work to post up at this point of time... well my laptop had some failure sooo yeah i am unable to continue on any work yet... oh well at least I directed my energy into writing instead

I had been away for very long due to the fact that I was helping out in preparing for our SMIT FO camp.... making props, going for a trial run of the camp, eventually the real camp where I had to help man the games and so on. Very fun stuff, not to mention I met alot of new friends there as well.

Other than that, since my laptop is down, I went to collect images on what I am going to model, compiled a list on what I want to do, started reading some 3D books in preparation for my second year in my 3D Option

Well havent been doing much except maybe playing Dawn of War Soulstorm, Company of Heroes, Devil May Cry 3 and many others. Watched some movies and anime... well that's just about what ive been doing this whole holiday... and school's starting next week... sigh...

Oh well that's all I have so far, have a good one all :)

Updates yet again O.O

Hey all! Its been some time since i updated I guess... and sooo here's what I've been up to :

I'm currently involved in camp organisation, my 3D Projects (As Usual), my personal writings and so on. I'm trying to keep myself busy over the holidays rather than just playing games all day long.

Well, for my 3D Projects, I'm currently working on a competition regarding safety at work under the MOM... gonna have to work up a slew of quality models for that.

Other than the competition, I'm working on a M1A1 Thompson model and its Mobster M1928 derivative for a special friend of mine. Its coming along well, should be finishing soon I suppose.

For my writings, I have yet again tweaked my characters to give em more unique traits and so on.

Well now time for me to get back to work... Later all :)

The Unofficial end of the First Year War...

Though the offical dates for the end of the year arent here yet... but due to the clearing of all my assignments and only one single Java test in the distance.. its somewhat over... Finally...

However I do feel abit sad though... the year passed by so fast and our class isnt as bonded as I hoped... I guess i'll try to organize a class outing some day so at least we keep in contact and touch with one another...

I have to admit my portfolio still isnt that impressive as im rather poor in the creative art and drawing department... but my 3D and STSB are still my prime modules... though there are others better than me for sure. VAF wasnt that bad at all... at least I learnt some video techniques that I can use in my future 3D/CG projects. (Though I still hate Java to the core).

I guess i'll spend the holidays working on my 3D.. I've got a long list of what I wanna pick up and learn already for future animation projects...

Dynamics,Particle Effects.
Human Character Modelling, Rigging, IK, Animation
Model a whole slew of new weapons and adding weapon mods to my earlier gun works
General Rigging and IK.
Improve my Texturing and Lighting.

Strangley I've got plans for everything...
For the Human character.. I'm going to use a character from my writing universe
Then for the new weapons.. mainly WW2 stuff... kinda influenced by Company of Heroes I guess.

I'm going to give a shot at the Allied American Weapons and the Axis German weapons first by making the more famous M1 Garand, M1A1 Thompson, the M1918A2 BAR, MP40, FG 42, G43, Kar 98k. Then I'm going to move on to a vehicle or two... maybe a M4A3 Sherman and a Panzer IV? I'm working on being primarily a modeller though... though i wouldnt mind being an animator as well. Im just not that good at Lighting and Texturing stuff.

For my own writings... I seemed to have make the step into areas normally outside my genre and expanded on the specialisations of the characters....

Staff Sgt. Saori is no longer just a sniper.. but an assassin, skilled in long range marksmanship, close combat knife fighting and assassination techniques. She is also now the primary medic.

Master Sgt. Sakura is also now a half blooded demon (Dont know where the heck I got that idea from) and a partially cyberized person. Same role as before except now she is also a stylish in-combat executioner. Third in Command

1st Lt. Yuki is now a genetic experiment that succeeded and is a social outcast, with people shunning her for her behavioral quirks and outlandish looks, with her silver hair and yellow eyes. Still the expert combat acrobatic gunslinger as before, except is now endowed with the skills of interrogation, investigation and is an expert on torture techniques (Without killing them of course).

That's so far all the changes... havent thought of anything new for the remaining three yet though... oh well..

I have to help out in my upcoming SMIT FOC as well... so I wont be around for some days... Not to mention I might have some other social commitments at the same time.

Well in anycase.. you can always contact me on MSN or just leave a message in that Tagboard there :P.

Take care all!

A short break... not the best but better than none anyway

Phew... its been a while I guess?

Well managed to find sometime to update this blog of mine... just finished off all of my assignments so far... Though there are some new ones coming, Im just taking a breather first... too much work can kill. Finally able to sit down and play some games as well, though I have to admit I havent been writing or drawing so far... just aint got the time yet... 3D's progress is kinda slow too... at least things arent as hectic as before...

On a good note, there's a PTN gathering in the following week, at Seoul Garden... something like a class buffet. Now that's fun. Not to mention we just had a so called gathering a week or two ago when we were doing our community service. We did it together with our buddy class... now that's fun too.

Well... home side, my old friends are asking me to go for a LAN party tommorow... not sure if i can make it in time though... lessons end kinda late... guess i'll have to let em know tommorow though.. I miss the good ol LAN party times somewhat...
Secondary school fun days...

Anyway catch me on MSN or somewhere :P I'm off first... time to use that well earned break time.

The rest of the time is mainly spent on more and more assignments... heck E-learning adds to the work haha... at least my work is nearing completion... so far I have very little 3D updates save for my Assignment 2.... So anyways... here's a preview of it...












Well that's basically everything so far... heck i really feel like its been a long day everyday... I seriously need a break now....
Anyways, catch me later... I've got unfinished business to attend to
