http://digital-opaque.net/blog Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:32:25 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en hello people. Just a quick note. I am moving to a new blog hosted at wordpress.com The reason why I am moving is because I did something nasty to this blog and I now have a bunch of duplicate posts everywhere. I know nothing about php and whatnot, so I don't have ... http://digital-opaque.net/blog/2008/04/18/moving-out/ This is just a quick update on Mariana, the character for the ghost short film that I wrote (titled The Tormented). BTW, this was also written with Windows Live Writer. Very simple and nice app... but it sems that the video thing doesn't work! I changed the texture and skin shader ... http://digital-opaque.net/blog/2008/03/21/mariana-texture-update/ Well, I am writing this from "Windows Live Writer", hehehe. This is the first time I use this thing so we'll see how it goes. It drawed my attention the fact that I could use it to write posts to be uploaded directly to my blog (supposedly). We'll see if ... http://digital-opaque.net/blog/2008/03/13/xsi-and-windows-live-writer/ This is some sort of a rant against those who thing that animators and their software are some sort of mandrakes, always with a trick under their sleeves. It always gets me when people are excessively ignorant. I read something on the newspaper the other day, and the columnist was talking about how ... http://digital-opaque.net/blog/2008/03/07/createpolygon-primitivecloverfield-monster/ This is just a quick post regarding something that has brought a lot of grief to my heart and mind and everything else. I know it is difficult when friends take different paths and all, although sometimes we know we will be seeing them some day. However when some of them dies, ... http://digital-opaque.net/blog/2008/02/13/death/ Hello people. I had been needing some keyframes for a while, so I made this little thing. This is, in part, a "just for fun" thing because I love animating, but I also figured I needed fresh material for my demo. I figured that a talking animal would be nice so ... http://digital-opaque.net/blog/2007/09/25/talking-wolf-thing/ Well, long time no post... I guess I should begin this post by saying that I haven't had any more wrist pains for the last months. I can pretty much say that the painful therapy (believe me... it WAS painful) and never using a mouse again did the trick. This brings ... http://digital-opaque.net/blog/2007/09/12/new-computer-new-wacom-new-hand-and-new-everything-else/ Hullo, Long time no see. I've been working a lot on my publications (you can see the full list from the right menu) and also on some other stuff including the new short film, a couple of "proof of concept" demos and 2 websites (plus my studio site, heh). Anyway, I had ... http://digital-opaque.net/blog/2007/07/28/ariannes-new-tatoo/ The review of Storyboard is up. You can check it out here. http://digital-opaque.net/blog/2007/02/14/toonboom-storyboard/ I wrote yet another software review for Renderosity. This time I share my thoughts on a very cool tool that just came out last december: Mudbox. You can read the article here. http://digital-opaque.net/blog/2007/01/16/enter-mudbox/
