70,000 Words and Counting

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

My short story turned novel past the 70,000 word mark earlier tonight. It’s really easy to write at the moment. Maybe thats because I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (and know that for the hero it really is an on coming train).

A little Apophysis and a Little Dragon

Monday, May 14th, 2007

While I was working on Little Dragon getting the last of the big pieces of the puzzle that reveals the threat my Noir Fairy Tale has been building to I was rendering a little visulisation of the threat. More of a concept than a fully worked image. Made using Apophysis and Vue 6 Infinite.

Face Shop Pro – Just Not Ready for the Big Time

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

I’ve never returned a product to Daz before but Face Shop Pro just didn’t live up to the product description for me. I’ve given it quite a lot of time. I’ve read the manual. Repeatedly. The morphs were, saddly, either too uneven to be worth using or had strange bits that stuck out. A couple […]

Making Tree on a Hill

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

In the terrain editor clicked on the erode button till the default mountain became a smoother hill shape. I resized the terrain to fit the picture I had in mind […]

Vue 6 Keeps Getting Better

Monday, May 7th, 2007

I’ve been playing with a rework of an old picture today trying out a variety of Vue 6 features to see if it can be improved. There was a lot of sky in the old picture and using a spectral atmosphere really helps. There was a big expanse of water too. It was rather dull […]

impworks Redecorated

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

I’ve finished the first phase of redecorating the impworks web site. I’ve added the sidebar image. I intend to change this fairly often and I may put it on an auto rotation script sometime. I’ve also fiddled with the CSS to move the navigation from right to left on the site. I’d noticed I was […]

Saturday on Saturday (Just)

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

After a couple of days when I’ve been churning out words for my noir fairy tale with an enjoyable ease today things slowed down a bit. Still managed to get the 500 words down to push past the 60,000 point. Not bad for a story I didn’t expect to be more than 15,000. The pieces […]
