AVATAR Oel ngati kameie  I see you Na'vi could become as catchy as Klingon, I never had much with Startrek, but AVATAR knocked me off my socks. Just seen it in IMAX and can't wait to go a second time. When I saw previeuws at the Net I poohpooed it as being a kind of Starship Troopers in the jungle, but Paul Verhoeve's Aliens a primitives compared to the exotes from Pandora and the Na'vi are just plain hot. Even without the 3D effect of IMAX the pictures are rich and splendid and who cares the storyline is simple and straightforward, it was just the best experience since Jackson's Lord of the Rings. The movie stands and falls with the quality of the CG, so it never falls, because the CG is sublime, making the avatar-body's very realistic. In contrast to the last CG movie I saw ( Beowulf ) the faces of the characters have not become stiff masks of a layer of computergrafics, they are lifelike, mobile and expressive, I bet 50% of the Megabites necessary to bring one Na'vi body to the screen went to the face alone. Of course I had to recreate that figure in Poser, starting the moment I got home it took me two days to get the textures in the right combination.... it's not a carbon copy of the movie, but just the way I like it. |

Astoria  From the moment her name was released, I had quite a clear idea what she looked like, but it was only this type of hair was released for Poser I could give Mrs Astoria Malfoy a face. ( Read more... )( Read more... ) |

LUUVV'_POTION This started just decent but something took over.  Returned to the first Albus and Scorpius I did in Poser, somehow first love is always lingers on, but as I was not so happy with the textures, I started messing with them. ( the tale is worksafe, the pictures not any longer ) |

new lexicon and new snape New take on Snape in Poser  Today I went searching for Steve VanderArk's new Lexicon, I read at HP Lexicon that it was available from Januari 20 and one can purchase ist direct from RDR. at the cost of $25,-, however I choked a bit on the mailing costs of $16,- So I did hold back an order. In the shop that had it actuaclly on their list, the American BookCentre in Amsterdam, it turned out that it would cost €40,-, that's with the rate of today about $50,- Now I don't need particulairy sit frontrow for a dime and a half, but still this is a bit of a pile of money for a paperback. The importer of ABC did not had any in stock yet. With this kind of pricing the argument, that the poor kiddo's cannot afford a SVA copy and a fute JKR copy is reemerging it's ugly head. As much I like to support Steve, it's a bit rich for me too. well, another business: TG made a new Snape morph including textures for M4, I like to show it off in a render. ( Read more... ) |

Darwin in Alabama ? No, Darwin in Holland 2008. This is something I did not expect in the Netherlands but in Alabama or somewhere in that region. http://www.volkskrant.nl/wetenschap/article1094941.ece/Plannen_christenen_voor_actie_tegen_Darwin You would think that 200 years after Darwin's birthday this would be a sort of dead duck and belonging in the same area as flat Earth and Earth-centered Universe. But no, a long list of religieus folk and organisation seem to think it necessairy to have a door-to-doo action in the way of pamflets to question Darwinism and either promote Creationism as a science or demote Darwinism as a belief. This all to the occasion that Charles Darwin was born in 1809( 200 years ago next year) and they need funding for it. What a waste of money, time and patience. as if Darwinism ever got in the way of Christian values. Not for Darwin himself, his lifelong he stayed quite orthodox and saw the Bibble as the highest source of moral values. you know, in 2010 it's 400 years ago Galileo published his account on observations of Jupiters moon and used that to prove the solar-centred Copernican theory. and 2021 it's 500 years ago Magellan died, more door-to-door actions from the rightness and narrowminded to expect? |

it's mean
it's rude

but it is funny
and likely too close to reality

SEVEN YEARS  It's seven years ago by now and as the years before I did make a commemoration render of the event. Sofar I am the only one who posted at a site like Renderosity. Maybe because it is just early, but I feared the tradition is going to fade. ( Under the cut ) |
