December 2009:

I would just like to take the time to wish everyone that celebrate them,  a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope you get over-materialized on the 25th and genied up on the 31st!
Manic Palm will be back in full force once more in 2010...

November 2009:

There seems to be almost a month missing out of my life (as well as this website), but I am back now, with an update!
There has been a Vimeo addition to the Downloads section of the site with a test that I conducted this past week.

With the eminent release of Blender 2.5 (already going into Alpha stage today), there will be many more such tests being posted.  I am using the character on the right as a jump start to learn the rigging system I so desperately need to continue with the animation project. Luckily December is a good time for me to accelerate this process.

October 2009:

I just wanted to give a quick update on the progress of the "Greylien" model. Just adding the final details and then the texturing using the Vector modification and an animation test.

September 2009:

I have started on a side-line project together with all the other projects on the go at the moment. It is mainly due to a new modification to Blender that I have come across by a very talented Japanese coder Mato...

This code allows for the use of Vector texturing within Blender. This creates a texture that, if scaled or zoomed in on, will not pixilate at all. No longer will you have to be concerned about texture resolutions or camera distancing during production. This will obviously not be possible for real-time applications e.g. the game engine, but a giant leap forward in pre-rendered animation projects.
I will post some examples as soon as they are presentable. The character to be used is in the media bar.

More August 2009:

I would like to try and get everybody who reads this website to please support the new Open Movie Project, Durian. By pre-ordering the movie, you get your name in credits and support further development of the Blender Software. Thanks in advance...

Please Support The Durian Open Movie
