Did alot in 2011, most of which im not so proud of, i however spent quite some time on these images and i think they deserve to be shown, i can do better but time and diligence will be the true judge of that.

SDL_Post();

vs2010 window

Recently started learning sdl and so far i have been able to write basic algorithms and window events etc. A few days later and some late night documentation scouring i was able to code a small but really extensible and flexible 2d engine. It has basic physics such as collision detection, linear velocity, gravity, wind, friction, dampening and a few others. So far i have pushed out of it several simulations and small remakes of classic games such as Pong, Blockbreaker , Tetris, an unstable bejeweled type game and more etc. SDL is a really fun library and i hope to spend many more hours with it.

[images, demos and code coming soon]

I am alive..

I Forgot?

Late 2009, my very first 3d software was 3ds Max. I loved it(still do) but due to lack of resources(ie. a super slow computer) i had to quit using it and picked up a more light weight program(Blender) last year. I am still learning Blender and i really like it but knowledge gained isn’t easily lost. A few weeks back i got back a copy of 3ds Max and dusted off my skills, took some trial and error but im back to using it fairly well enough. Well enough said, i tried creating a simple scene and here it is.

Why Composite?

After Compositing

The Future.

As i sit here typing this i am not satisfied with my current skill level. I am still a beginner to concepts that i really want to learn such as advanced python, sculpting, organic modeling etc. Time seems so short nowadays. I am just 17(will be 18 October 31) but patience is nobody’s best virtue. It might come with time but i am deeply frustrated as i have tried countless times to learn. Contrary to all i just wrote, i hope the next time i look back at this post i will be significantly better in said areas. Now why did i just type all this….

Exams…

The CXC logo.

I am hugely relieved and somewhat sad to say that after (5) five years of high school i will soon be on my way. Its down to the final month and exams are upon me, CXC examinations. :S. A small break from the digital world for 4 weeks and i will be back forever… well until i start college September. FML!

Fly…

Meant to upload this for some while now… well here it is. enjoy.

Made with blender 2.57 and after effects!
