Double post time. Sorry about the delay. I couldn’t work on anything today. First, I got a call from an old client of mine from my freelancing days. They needed some minor changes to an animation that I’d made for them. Turns out I’d put the files related to that job in an obscure directory. [...]

Now that I’ve been on both sides of the freelancing equation (with regards to 3d work), I’ve decided to talk a bit about that. My first message to all 2d/3d freelancers is – and this may come as a “well, duh!” suggestion – please make a decent website for yourself for fucks sake. I said [...]

I managed to do quite a bit of stuff today with 2 hours of sleep. I’ll be joining the world of regular people starting tonight. Here’s what I’ve managed to do: I took care of some law related stuff. Ugh! Created another puzzle for the game on paper. It basically aims to test your puzzle [...]

Well, turns out the blackouts happen at 5am too! So much for working at night. I did quite a bit of debugging today. Nothing really exiting. Here is a nice debugging article I found that might be useful for those who are not familiar with the concept. I’m also testing various compression algorithms to optimize [...]

Grrrr…electricity….grrr…problemss…grrrrrr I’ll update this post later today. I’ve been trying really hard to wake up early for the last couple of weeks and a lot of studies show that waking up early is way better than waking up late, everything else being equal. Now, these fuckers that have been cutting off the electricity in this [...]

I’ve been struggling with OpenGL code, hunting bugs all day. I haven’t been very successful unfortunately so I’ll be working on this stuff again tomorrow. I don’t know much about horror animes except Hellsing , Blood and Blood+. I wouldn’t call them horror just because they have lots of blood and monsters in them though, [...]

This was a productive day. I’ve been working mainly on a tunnel scene. You’ll probably see it in the screenshots that I’ll be releasing soon (hopefully). Photoshop versions of textures take close on 4GB of hard disk space because most of them are 8192×8192 pixels which is 32 times the resolution of a full HD [...]

Still playing catch up, plus the pressure tank’s engine exploded when I was having a bath! I’ve talked about reading a book called Brain Rules some time ago, here are some tidbits from the book. Pretty interesting stuff. Aerobic exercise just twice a week halves your risk of general dementia. It cuts your risk of [...]

Another power outage for 16 hours! Second time this week.

Here’s a little rant about software bugs: Today it’s virtually impossible to become a “power user” in almost any 3d software without getting intimately familiar with that software’s bugs. The reason most power users have to develop workflows and pipelines *around* the software that they use is because the managers of said software are too [...]
