nodes are fun to mess with.

I made this with blender's compositing/node editor. I think it looks pretty cool, but it took FOREVER to render, and then patch into a gif. The bigger one came out to be over 11 megs, which is bigger than blender itself. well, I thought it looked cool, so I decided to show it to you, and I'll probably make something more complex now.

GRRR!!!! It won't animate gifs, so I uploaded the first frame as to avoid loss in quality. I'm also having trouble getting a link to myspace that will work when not signed in.

I'M BAAAAAACKKKKK! also.

Well, I've been at scout camp (in case you have been lacking notice in my inexistence.) and it was FREAKING AWESOME! (but I still want to see batman worse than you can imagine) What with shooting shotguns, and a destroyed few archery targets; repelling, OH, and backpacking 12 MILES (which was suprisingly fun,) and ...well... kind-of -erm- hitting-my-face-mountain-biking-which-didn't-hurt-as-much-as-you-would-think-but-still-looks-really-painful. *pant* *pant* *deep breath* - *more panting* *yawn* ...anyway, a week is enough, and I'm glad to be home. I will post with stuff when I want to, and I agree with salvaggio that you guys NEED to post, and so on. Anyway, cool pic salvaggio, and is that a screenshot in the background? well anyway, you should post some random z brush work, and so on. I'll keep wishing I had a better PC, and so on. Well, anyway... see you all later.

I'm BAAAAAACKKKKK! Sort of.

Here it is. In all the glory I could muster at such a time. But you'll be glad to know that things are starting to slow down a bit at work, so I'll have some more free time to finish this bad boy up, and then do some more. I hope to play around with Z brush at work some, I'll try to do some MOAG stuff, so our dear Squirrel won't feel so lonely.

On a more serious note, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry you couldn't make it over for the viewing in the Hootch, but be comforted in knowing that Mr. Shadowwire represented you all very well. Maybe in the future I'll post a top 10 list of the best moments we had with my dad back in school, but that will have to wait. I'm tired, and honestly, I can only really think of one story, but it was a good one.

Hmm, come to think of it, why don't you guys (those who knew him whether from sleeping through his Geography class or him sleeping through the movies we watched at my house) tell the stories that you remember from him? Just throw them in the comments here, and when I feel you've earned it, I'll retell the #1 Best Moment Involving MOAGers But Not Necessarily Having To Do With MOAG And My Dad Moment. Or BDIMBNNHTDWMAMD for... uh... long.

Anyway, Wes and Carl, looks like the brunt of the work is in your hands. Unless you can get Matthews to post. Which in and of itself would be quite a feet.

By the way, let's start posting some more now. Just a thought.

The Dark Knight...

WAS FREAKING AWESOME.

That being said, I haven't posted on the blog because simply I don't have a lot of time anymore. Because I am currently...you know... the whole getting ready for the mission thing... and spending time with friends... and blowing things up with the Trogdor... and all that jazz...

Anyways... I will try to post more often.

And most importantly my condolences to Mr. Salvaggio and his family.
All I can say is he is in a better place now.
Let me know if I can do anything.

Another few sculpts from me.

Enjoy.

Time to cross your eyes everyone!

If you cross your eyes so the the two parts "line up," making your right eye look at the left, and so on, it's 3D! So, can you see the monkey?

Echo...Echo... Umm....

Where the crap are you people?!? umm... well then.... I've been having fun doing pointless things with blnder's sculpt, and multires capabilties, and mind you, it took FOREVER to write "HI" on this thing! So, well.... -erm- Enjoy it, and so on.
