Yet another model finished and uploaded. YAY!
Find it here on YouTube. I've made the transition from bump-mapping to normal mapping on this piece. It made a big difference.

The Christmas Journey Begins.
In just a few short hours, I'll embark on the 2009 Christmas Tour of California's Central Valley. But this year, as opposed to previous, I'll be enjoying this Tour by Amtrak and rides begged from relatives. So far everyone has been very accommodating (which is good, considering how much tire-wear and blood pressure I've invested in Christmas over ( Read more... ) -
Unusual Dream.
It should have been a scary nightmare.. really. Stumbling on a mobile home trailer where inside human heads were on display in various states of being stripped of their faces (also on display). Turning a corner to encounter a long narrow hallway where a face, stretched over a mannequin mouthed silent words at me. Instead of fear and panic (which ( Read more... ) -
Aaaaaaah.. addiction..
I am a caffine junkie (as are many of you). But the true measure of my addiction is illustrated by office coffee. At my last two jobs, there has been coffee in the breakroom. Bad, really, really foul smelling and foul tasting coffee. I normally drink tea, but having cut my soda intake greatly, today I needed the caffine punch of coffee ( Read more... ) -

203,641
My much loved and very hard working car, Dernhelm after carrying me, my children, friends, roommates, and co-workers over 125,000 miles finally broke down tonight. I was coming home with lunaticneko over the San Mateo Bridge when she started overheating and the engine strained hard to make it up the incline. I coasted her down the far side in neutral, and ( Read more... ) -
The Mouse that Roared!
Though I've not played the game yet (though some of my buddies out here are in a short campaign) I'm pretty pleased to see that Mouseguard beat out the D&D 4th Edition Players' Handbook for best RPG at Origins this year.
