Mozilla Fire Fox & Apple Safari

Hey you guys, check out the Firefox and Safari as I just installed them for FREE!

These two web browsers are anytime way better than Explorer which is like snail and I kept getting hang ups for nothing until eventually I actually thought the fault lies with my new pc which was just absurd right? coz we're talking about "the most powerful and performance driven computer", here? Like the Alienware M15X ??

Ok, maybe not like "the most" but M15X is definitely on par with the Apple Mac Pro! lol

Anyway, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari really ROCK!

YEAH :)

Lighting Examination

Theme: ''My Christmas Tree''

We are given 10 hours to light up our Christmas Tree making use of Maya Lighting Setup, final gather, global illumination, physical sun and sky, image based lighting, mental ray, etcetcetc.

I took about 8 hours to complete, or rather, not exactly 'complete' but i had to stop as i was literarily shivering inside out due to hunger and cold.

I think it could have been much better as there are still many things i still do not yet know as hypershade, etcetc.

But i am quite happy with how i managed to ''buff up and sex up'' the tree and its Xmas decors and lightings and all of its over all colours, mood and atmosphere combined.

Now that my Christmas tree and lights are up, I hope to wish one and all, in advance, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! :D

Merry Christmas 2010

A Prayer For Thanks Giving

Year 2010 is about new beginnings.

As the hour slowly draws to a close, I cannot help but ruminate and reminisce upon the trail of events and many many things that have happened over the past one year or so.

In cogitation, I  just wanna leave behind a few heartfelt words of recognition, appreciation and grace to those who have stood by me, and still continually do so, during the most looming and murkiest days, specially with reference in particular to two really special god-sent angels and unsung heroes who rescued my life from the valley of the shadows of death well over about a year ago, one of whom in particular still continues doing so, time and time again. Thank you Sir! :P

Thank you for always being there for me and thank you for being the light and salt in my life, for with you, life is never going to be the same again :)

The really special and unique luxurious Hediard Giftset from France (on the right) and the plush Crabtree&Evelyn Hamper from United Kingdom (on the left); illustrates overflowing amounts of love, abundance and gratitude. It also embodies and encompasses God's divine mercy, eternal love and compassion.

I got them specially for these two really special and extraordinary individuals who have made a vast difference in my life, in more ways than one.

 All the items inside these 2 special gift sets are specially selected and hand-chosen by myself with the greatest of care and most intimate of thought in mind.

For this, I have decided that I am only going to be eating clean white Guardenia bread for the next 3 weeks (L.O.L ..ok just kidding!;) But without any doubt, its certainly worth it! Definitely! yeah! :D

I specially buff up all the contents inside the really slick looking Heviard gift set and also the heavenly divine Crabtree&Evelyn hamper with plenty more things as to make them look really full, plumb and nice;  as a wish for the recipient's lives to forever be filled and over flowing with lots and lotsa love, grace, compassion, happiness and bountiful of abundance in everything.

I tried to ''sex up'' the original decor using plush red and pink ribbons emotive of CrabTree&Evelyn, gold colored missle toes and christmas decors so as to make it look toally special, really unique and super festive as its meant to be! :P

YAY! this is one of the happiest days of my life! :D

God Loves and Blesses he who love, obey, trust and abide in Him.

PEACE OUT.

Lighting & rendering

This is suppose to be my own room in 3-Dimensional Computer Graphics form and not without alittle alterations and additions ... in our assignment we are to decide on the color scheme we want to adopt and we are also suppose to apply our understanding of basic lighting and rendering to make our CG room look real or close to real, through clever use of lights and shadows, which are what all objects are defined by, in real life, through our visible reality.

My Character Bible

Sebastian: Version 1

 

A prince and king-to-be, King Sebastian Jr exudes an aura of unique distinction yet looking so gugu and gaga. With beak wide open, and fluttering his little wings in frantic excitement, he demands to be fed immediately. Sebastian is reminiscent of the molly-coddled guise that receiving 100% attention is his absolute birthright as everyone is there to please him, love him and spoil him totally unconditionally at all times. Like all babies, Prince Sebastian is toally attention and affection seeking. He knows he is fully aware that he is in an environment whereby he is safe to throw his tanthrum and yet able to get away with his mischief; and continually remaining pampered and loved as reflected upon the deeply inspirited and comely glow in his eyes that will never ever fade nor grow wary nor weary with the passage of time. Sebastian's Givenchy-inspired baby pip bears the motif of a king's face.

Sebastian: Version 2

As a child delinquent in school, Sebastian often get into trouble trying to steal piranhas from the pond in the center of the royal court yard. Sebastian loves blood and making fresh sashimi out of the fishes and other little games he personally hunts down. He puts up a fierce fight during his chase and often end up gnashing alot of blood out of his little victims when he uses his most deadly weapon ie. the death roll. Virtually nothing escapes from King Sebastian Jr.'s deadly brutal death roll. NOTHING.

 

Sebastian is a character from my Character Bible which I have created for my final Character Design project.

Term 2 Final Project on Digital Sculpting

Synopsis

Zeus and Poseidon gearing up for the ultimate judgment upon mankind before unleashing God's fiery wrath -- first in the form of several destructive krakens and then finally through the powerful forces of nature as super thunder storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, earth quakes, tsunamis and eventually world end. This is a graphic display of gods' fury upon mankind's contempt and indignation towards Him -- ultimately towards the Creator, the Alpha and Omega. Meanwhile, 33 years earlier, before the final count down, a child was born in Nazareth in the country of Galilee (modern day Israel) into a hick household of a carpenter name Joseph and his wife Mary. All angels in the heaven rejoiced in merriment and creatures in the sky and in the water and those scurrying on land frolicked in profound mirth and frivolity. There was great peace of mind, orderliness and joy and all were blessed.
