There I was on this Sunday afternoon just fiddling about with my laptop. I had my Bamboo Fun graphics tablet plugged in so I thought I’d have a mess about with mypaint, a brilliant little open-source painting package. Something that is very hard to find these days. A real PAINTING package. It’s free. It’s easy. [...]

I’ve actually been working on this character since before I can remember. I think I started making him about three years ago. Then, due to computer and personal issues, took a long break. Well, now I’m back working on him more regularly, I’ve finally got him fully rigged (just a few shaped controls to finish) [...]

It’s been a very snowy January here in Enfield (just north of London, UK). I drive past this park on my school run every day and keep seeing the bandstand with snow on the roof. Today, before the snow disappeared, I decided to get some pictures. I’m quite proud of them.
Won’t you have a look?

Now that I’ve got to grips with face modeling in Blender, I thought I deserved a trophy. So, I took a couple of pictures of me, modeled my face and created this trophy. Yay, me!

3D Self-Portrait Trophy

Happy new year, everybody. Hope you all have a fantastic 2010

Happy New Year 2010

2009 is finally over. It wasn’t a great year but, for me at least, it was filled with positives. I’m positively glad it’s 2010 though. Here’s hoping that it’ll be a great new year and new decade.
Only 358 days to Christmas [...]

Oh, cool. Look at this. Somebody’s put a link to a tutorial of mine on their website (http://blender-3d.startpagina.nl/).
Look…
Looks like a great resource for anything to do with Blender. Shame it’s in dutch, cos I don’t understand dutch. Nonetheless, most of the site seems easy enough to decipher. Thanks for the link, whoever you may be.

Big thanks go to my Brother, Steve, who has repaired and upgraded my Wordpress blog. I can now reinstall my plug-ins and blog on the move from my iPod. Woooooo.

I took an IQ (kinda) test tonight which you can get to by clicking this link.
My result was Visual Mathematician with a score of 133.
It’s only 40 questions. Not sure how accurate it is but it was fun to dooooooo.
Here’s what it said about my result:

Last week I went to a karaoke with the intention of entering a competition. It was only a heat leading to a final with a top prize of £500, so no pressure. Anywho, I sung a couple of songs to enter. I Drove All Night and some other song which escapes me right now. Not [...]
