  1. I'm not going to say it's anything special, but it sure as hell is fun. I was playing around with it at work (shh don't tell my boss) and here is something I came up with. Tried to go for a eerie flourescant look. Ambient Occlusion is using a greenish color with a light blue klieg light focusing on the subject. The room is not really a room, but more like two intersecting planes.

  2. Hey Mark, nice to see you posting your artwork again. She looks sweet.

     

    Thanks Martin, we'll see how it goes. It's one of my New Year's Resolutions (To do more 3D).

    Unfortunately, most people don't stick with their resolutions, however I am not most people.

     

    I'm already eagerly anticipating next month's contest.

  3. I'll be typing up and refining the notes I took down about the Tin-Woodsman at the Oyster resturaunt. I also had fun sketching some ideas on the plane during the trip back home. I'll get those uploaded after work today.

  4. Well, I'm in Sierra Vista, about 200 miles south of Phoenix. I am interested in what kind of project you are thinking about. I occasionally visit Phoenix to see some of my old artschool buddies. Drop me a line.

    I have some renders, nothing too spectacular on my webpage, I've been kinda uninspired to do anything lately so it's not up to date.

  6. Yes! Thanks again to the Hash crew for all the preparations it took to make this another great Siggraph for Animation Master users from all over. The Party was a blast, thanks again for warm welcome.

  7. Wow, cool clip! I don't want to be a nit-picker here... But in Arizona, I have seen far too many Black Widows for my tastes, but I have yet to see one fall from a spider thread. They usually like to nest in dark damp areas and the webs they create are really chaotic. Oh man... just thinking about those nasty suckers *shudder*

    The last one I encountered had made its home in a cardboard box full of long nails. The web funneled down into a dark hole. When you tapped the box it would pop out of its tunnel and look around for prey. Needless to say I drenched that sucker in WD-40, which is the fastes way to kill Black Widow Spiders... Raid and other bug spray just pisses Black Widows off, sure it will kill them, but it could take tens of minutes, where WD-40 is in a matter of a couple minutes... FYI

     

    IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!!

  8. I just recently bought an eMachine m6805 laptop. Athlon64 3000 mobile, running at 1.8Ghz, 512MB ram, widescreen (1280x800), and radeon 9600 mobile with 64MB ram... This machine is Awesome! I highly recommend it to anyone. I got it at BestBuy for 1250$ US after mail in rebates.

  9. I would highly recommend any laptop containing an AthlonXP processor, even tho there are now Athlon64 based notebooks, you will be able to find bargains on the XPs which blow away comparable celeron laptops in the same price range.

  10. Chat is codeword for... uhm, well, I got nothing. Hopefully there will be lots of people taking full advantage of V11j's reintroduction of the toon gradient settings ;)

     

    Oh yeah, for those oldtimers... There has been some special guest celebrities visiting lately, better stop in or you'll miss out!!
