Where did today go?
Monday, January 29th, 2007Finished off two pictures in Vue 6 that will hopefully make it into Rag 52. Quite pleased with the first one. It may be the best picture I’ve turned out of Vue. Also played round trying to get a better Vue grass displacement material for large areas and terrains. The one I posted last night […]

Death Scene Monologue and Keats
Monday, October 30th, 2006In the process of bumping off a minor character in the Fairy Tale Noir I decided he deserved a bit of a monologue before he goes. However he’s both a bit of a geek and has a bad habbit of wandering way off the point. So he wanders and I needed to do some research […]
Never let you're Characters off the Leash
Monday, October 23rd, 2006So I’ve been crafting the info dump in the Noir Fairy Tale. It was coming together pretty easily. The main character dumping info is a bit of a scatter brain.

So I’ve spent a lot of today mulling on entropy, brane theory, multiverses […]
