If you’d like to use FLARtoolkit without doing any coding, or want to collaborate with me with a project soon to be in the Dallas Museum of Arts, download the link below.
fiddle around, open files, find your way to the HOWTO folder. That’ll get you started, if you get stuck, I added a new live chat widget to my bar, as well as a gps map. HUNT ME DOWN! Demand me show you how to put in your own files!
I’ll also be very closely monitoring comments, so you can beg there.
If you are having problems with the 3ds parser in papervision & you are using CS4 this might help you.
To use it, just unzip the parsers.zip and copy everything over in your papervision3d/objects/parsers folder. It’ll replace some files, this should be ok, and it’ll add one with some helper files.
CONTEXT (since code will change and, hopefully, this will be made useless soon by the papervision guys) Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve taken the flartoolkit and made it so you don’t need any special skill to simply show a marker/3ds model pair. There’s an issue getting the UV texture name, if you have cs3, recompile the .fla and the name will trace out for you.
THis thing is pretty moot, considering it’s a horrible hack, and because I’ve restarted with much more sensibility and I’m now using the FLARmanager. However, for my project at the DMA, the xml will stay the same.
Simple steps: (I’ll be including great tutorials for this on the Read the rest of this entry »

Seriously, I don’t think. So, here’s a link to SUBQUEST. It’s probably best to just click around and laugh, cause it’s funny. I wouldn’t bother asking what it’s about, or asking why or if it’s done…. Bryan’s funny that’s all you need concern yourself with.
If you’re still reading, then you were probably in my art class or you are family. So I’ll explain it a bit, but you really have to see the whole thing put together to enjoy it, and i think i’m the only one who has… But, it’s art, I make it for me. 
The link is a software interface to giant real aquarium and remote control sub. SO, forget the link for a second. Read the rest of this entry »
There are three hard camera matcing shots in the CG short. The ne you are about to see is the easiest but has to look perfect because of the whole walking downstairs thing, the fact it’s a full body shot, and the cloak drag cross the stairs. It’s a rough key just to see if he matches, I’ll post an update in a day or two.
Marvel in the cloak.
Posting test footage isn’t something you should, but I think that’s all I’ve been doing as far as the DnD shortfilm goes. It’s not done, but things are starting to shape up. here is the latest composite with a rough draft of some fire effects. When I get a couple of hours I’ll make the fire ball actually effect the ligting of the subjects and make the firball more detailed. Oh yeah, the candles have to have flames - that’s th epoint the scene.
so here it is. feel free to compare it to earlier posts of the same shot.
I recently, for the 7th time molded a churchish building for the tentatively titled “a really bad DnD shortfilm.” Everytime I model this thing I learn more. More about level of detail, where to spend the polygons, quick ways of building things, yadda yadda.
Of course, the lighting and texturing has gotten better and faster.
I made this animation test in my spare time last week and thought I’d post it for class since I’ve been working overtime to meet a deadline at work and couldn’t make it.
I need to remove out all the patterning and repetition, add more details to the corners and stairs and add more interest in the lighting. I’ll probably finish that this week sometime, so expect and update next Monday.
here it is - most likely too dark on a windows machine -
Hey spider-fans. These $60 Ralph Lauren shorts come complete with things you need like pockets… and hanging loops near your testicular region. Yep you can hang your nice new Ralph Lauren sports coat from your crotch. Rock climber? Hang your climbing equipment. Dancers will get that extra attention when hanging stuff from their crotchel area AND you’ll never lose your keys again if you attach them to your man jewels.
Just look at the picture below.
What am I pointing at? Look at this close up. There are weird loops on the inseem on these shorts.
See, the world has gone nuts.
I have a rough test that I’ve made to get a feel for the amount of work / quality ratio to finish this bad shortfilm Some friends were generous enough to help me make. Read the rest of this entry »
