Getting there...






Dear diary, just finished some test renders for texturing multiple objects in one model, and I must say, it is pretty damn confusing at first but when you get the hang of the work flow of things, it's pretty straught forward. (I'm so glad I can paint and use photoshop really well for the textures)

THE SECRET: Law of attraction




I have watched a Documentary / movie called The secret: Law of attraction, a dvd given to me by My friends' Mom, Tita Bebs! for my birthday :) First watched it 3 days ago, and every time I wake up I try to watch it when I have the chance.

It's about a scripture to the secret of life, about you (the mind) can attract anything you want and need, being positive and never giving thought about the negative is what it seems to teach, a general rule of thumb in life on living a happy life, it says in the movie / scripture that the mind is a very powerful source of infinte energy, It can control the universe for your own pleasure, Things like Love, Money, relationships, career, you can have it all if you know how to harness the secret.

I was a frequently negative person before, lately even before watching this video I kinda was grasping at something in my life that I seem to not see clearly yet, I had the clue and a vague idea about life, I thought at first I knew how things went, I take things for granted quite often, realized how a jerk I was when I didn't know what to do with myself, ( maybe I'm getting mature in my own way (or not.) LOL) but I kinda felt how that movie told about living Life, is to love each other even if there where really no love at all. Feel love, from small things, be gratified of the things you have and keep focus on the things you want. This video taught me more about life than my years in college! LoL Not being negative about it but this is really what all of us should be striving for! Not Materialistic goals but by the way of thinking.

I don't really care if this is a scam or not but I really believe that this thing is real, even if I don't get what I want out of it, being positive about life is a good thing to happen in my life, for a change, life is gonna be easier when the load in my shoulders gets taken off by this kind of thinking, but I do hope I get what I want, (I know I'll get what I want!) Life is too short not to enjoy it, Love, Life, Relationships, Careers, Dreams, all of them I want to happen just before I pass on, Me learning the SECRET is a good thing in itself, I've been searching for the thing in life that will truly make me happy, then by realizing how I lived my life, just a positive thought can change my life. a godsend, I thank Tita Bebs , that wonderful woman that she let me share her knowledge on the secret, (the greatest gift someone gave me.) I'm still grasping this way of thinking but I know I'll make the transition, Positivity has more value than gold. It now makes sense how the Lord always says in the bible: If you "ask then you shall recieve." It all makes sense! It's true!

Texture Madness!!!








Studying how to put textures (realistic one at that) in my model, crap! my P26 has so many little objects I didn't realize it'd be a nightmare to texture all of them! It's getting a little bit confusing now

Days of infidels or what ever the movie title end up with

Here's my early renders for a presentation to a technical comittee for the movie project.


Skim board design!





Just fooling around in putting textures and playing with shadows alittle bit. Got lazy in 2d so I just pasted existing works on my 3d skims.

New upgrade...

At the cost of further learning and and improving my maya skills, I have concluded that it pays to have a beefier Computer so that no corners have been cut, rendering images and manipulating them pretty much taxes my CPU and render time... So I decided to upgrade.

Intel Quadcore Q6600 2.4 8 mb L2 Cache @ 1033mhz fsb (yawn)


Gigabyte N680SLI-DQ6 Motherboard tri SLI 6- quad ultra ~this cost me a leg (php.-16.5k)


4 gigs of ddr800 corsair RAM (woot!) ~Crossing fingers that I won't need windows Vista! (please gods of XP please have a patch for a XP RAM update!!!

250 gig seagate sata HD

Nvida 8800GT Palit 512 mb ddr3 @650 /1900 mhz fsb (ehem)

700 wat HEC PSU (is it me or is it hot in here???)

Ps: too drunk to assemble the parts, maybe 2 days from now... hehe
