When boredom carries imaginations away…
This is what happens when I get carried away. LOL. I started out to just model a Thomas Tank Engine Toy (yah…that’s a mouf-full) and then eventually it got turned into this…
here’s a side view…

Working on an environment concept for my latest project; had to come up with a “Photoshop City” … thought I’d post it up.
My prepro sketch of the idea: (time to conceptualize the idea – 3 hours)
Renders of the city after I modelled it out in 3D: (time to produce – approx 1 hour)
Still a WIP, but it gets the idea across enough, I think.

Ripple Fail
Motion study (fail) for a ground impact shock ripple.
Still trying to figure out how to do one correctly, so if anyone out there knows a method, I'm always willing to learn.
Here's the setup for what I've done (although I can't think of a reason why anyone would implement it):
- Softbody NURBS plane with wave deformer influencing the soft body particles.
- Control is handled via keying the wave deformer attributes.
- Rebuild the NURBS plane and place the soft body particle influence from the original NURBS plane to the rebuilt one (you can do this easily via Outliner)
- Hide original NURBS plane. And now you have a new deforming NURBS object with which you can collide particles with.
- Create a bed of particles and attach a gravity field to them.
- Make the bed of particles collide with the rebuilt softbody.
- Instance the particles with geometry (rocks, slabs, whatever)
Let me know if this actually becomes of use to anyone, because I would be seriously intrigued. lol

A Steampunk MMO?
Ok I have to admit, I don’t have a lot of time for video games…but the revelation of a new Steampunk MMO that’s free to play makes me wish I did.
Gonna have to check this out…who knows, diving into this game may be just the thing I need for some inspiration on my new rig project that I’m trying to plan.

A penny for your thoughts…and my 2 cents for free…
Well, the site is finally up! Still have a few sections to work on, and A lot more customizing to do with the forums, but for the most part, I think everything seems to finally be comming together in a working order.
Now to find a few guinea pigs — I mean excellent prospective candidates to test everything out, and I think we should be fully live in a few days.
*sigh* I still have more rendering to do for the demo reel as well…so much to do…so little time…
