Or else all that candy you just inhaled?

Yea...you'll be feeling that alllll night.


On a side note: Ginger root does help :)

Pumpkin Madness!!

So this was the first pumpkin I ever carved EVER! And it was real awesome! I can't wait for next year to do more!

This was based on an image of okami...just tweaked it a bit because it was kinda highly detailed. :( I'll do better next time, I promise.

An update on the lighted kitchen coming soon!

Happy Hallow's Eve everyone!

PS: I apologize for the cruel low quality pictures. I took them on my phone coz my digicam is sick. :( It needs new battery.

here you go :)

EDIT:

I've done some shader testing and realized you need to have two solid halves for back scattering (such as with a candle) to work. so here are the two halves made solid and hollow (you'll understand when you see them. oh and use the stem from above. I'm also leaving the link to the original pumkin so that you can play around with that as well.

Halloween

Here a challenge for the blog, not a required assignment but should be fun to do for halloween: render a pumpkin lit by a candle from inside.
Maybe someone can post a pumpkin model to carve!

First Post

Yay, first post!















Um, trying to get a mystery feel goin on here.
This is just a point light of a very saturated orange...don't worry, its not going to be like this for the final one. Although I do like it. :)




Someone's been caught! Going to put a more harsh shadow for him (papertowelbadboy).
Don't know if I'm going to keep the windows black..



Can anyone explain to me how this could happen? We were doing the proxy settings thing today in class and this is what I saw when I rendered my frame. Help!

More to come. Update on colored kitchen with adjustments SHOULD be up here soon. (should..)
