Free stuff

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 20, 2007, 9:19 PM
I wonder if this journal title will make people think my account has been hacked and I'm posting spam or that I'm actually giving out free stuff. In the spirit of Christmas and the spirit of I have no motivation I'm going to be doing some free art for people although no promises of deadlines or anything.

The rules are pretty simple ... I will do a low poly 3d model of the first 3 concepts people ask for and then a sketch of something the next 3 people ask for.

Remember my drawing skills are terrible compared to my 3d sculpting skills so jump in quick to get yourself a decent piece of art.

So get your names on the lists below:

3D model
#1 - MickyW - German WW2 destroyer
#2 - OuroborosCobra - Bomarc SAM
#3 - T1g4h - M-109 Self Propelled Howitzer

Sketch
#1 - RageTH - X-31 EFM demonstrator
#2
#3

Only 1 3d model or sketch per person. Don't be greedy :P Oh and the 3d models come with a basic texture, no normal map and 2 renders of your choice.

Next up ... I've done some renders that you guys might be interested in if you're watching me for my aircraft. I've been experimenting a little bit with particle effects and have uploaded a couple of the results to Youtube for your perusal:

Su-39 vid #1 [link]
Su-39 vid #2 [link]

I'm sorry that they're so quick but MAX pumped out the videos at 30 frames per second both times even though I changed the settings. I think it might have been the codec I used.

I'm in the process of doing another 3d render of an Su-34 doing a Cobra maneouvre and I'm not entirely sure if it'll turn out ok but the most important thing is that the video shows off my new particle effects in the right way :P

As for my social life etc; things are up and down. The girl I asked out using a Bad Hair Day comic is still semi-involved with someone who is a compulsive liar and has built an intricate web around her to keep my friend entrapped. Another one of my friends commented recently that there is no way she will be able to leave this person ... I don't think thats true but then again I've been out of the loop ever since I accused this person of lying for the first time. Whats making things even more troubling is that I am seeing and hearing from this person less and less and last time I saw them they'd just found out about a large amount of the lies they'd been fed. I'm beginning to think that maybe they're somewhat in denial of what is happening.

As for other things in my life, my parents are selling up so I'm moving soon. Not sure if that'll mean I'm offline more often or not. I'll just have to wait and see how my new house turns out. I'm moving in with a couple of my closest friends and hopefully a fourth unknown one to keep costs down. I've lived in this house on and off for the better part of 14 years and I've got a lot of good memories here ... and surprisingly very few bad ones. Its going to be sad to see this house in someone elses hands. I almost wish I had the money to buy it off my folks ... and not just for fact that its hooked up to the fastest internet available in Australia :P

I was about to start this paragraph with "as" but noticed I'd started the last 2 with the same word so I thought I'd be original here ... Some of you might know that I've been working on a new project. I've started a game development company ... and don't go asking me for jobs as I can't pay anyone. I'm only looking for partners who are willing to volunteer until we see profit. I won't go into the concepts or even the name of the company just yet as there is a lot of details to be worked on first. But lets just say its a very interesting project and it has a lot of potential.

Sounds sweet. Was sluggish myself for the last 18 months ... just enjoying games rather then producing them but now I'm back at work and loving it ^_^

Might find out if I can put any of my work up on DA sometime soon but I probably won't be able to until the games are out.

You may see some more soon as I'm going to be getting back into modelling but I'm not sure what of at the moment. Most of the ones in my gallery are a few years old :P

Keep up the aircraft modeling. Your models are excellent and I'd like to see more fighter jets.

I'm only the equivalent of three wise men so I guess that means I still can't be born technically.

You can't find it in the store ... its a modification of a game called Battlefield 2. Basically you buy Battlefield 2, update it to the latest version and then download Point of Existence (for free) ... giving you more vehicles, weapons and maps.
