I Still Don't Know What This Is [Title Might Be Changed Later]

Still some vague project in mind. I have many directions for developing the project. Too many choices, which I try to keep simple and realizable. So I won't give any other clue than the current WIP because I don't want to promise anything. Let's just do it in a breeze.

Soldier - WIP 01, the design sets forth from random doodle that I had upload previously.

Rigging and skinning, time to pose stupid. [I removed the shoulder armor, hard to skin and didn't quite match with the style]

Soldier weapon. Design based from real weapon which I modified

Ezio's Assassin's Creed II Action Figure

Assassin's Creed II Ezio Auditore de Firenze Master Assassin. NECA, Player Select.
For this photo session, a tripod allows me to use ISO 100 in a low light room in the midnight and still delivering a crisp, bright, and noiseless pictures, oh how I love this new tool..

 

I use timer to minimize shakey taking, therefore low shutter speed is not a problem anymore since I didn't need to touch the camera while it works taking the picture. By using room's neon low lighting and a candle for a yellow cast, the color is pretty rich. Combine it with Photoshop's curve adjustment, we get a classic color mating. Indigo + Gamboge.

 

Sometimes I play with low shutter speed and move the candle light for pretty effect. Camera tends to catch object with more light -in this case a candle's fire- easier than the one without. I try to move my hands in front of camera in a very low sutter speed, but I only got distinct blur. But when I subtitute it with candle light, here's what I've got.

Punyu Wallpapers

Spending time on weekend to make another Punyu's piccy. Actually I was trying to make a wallpaper for my Blackberry XD. Posing-Lighting-Rendering-Compositing.

The compositing elements. It is better to break the element like this then compose it on Photoshop or After Effect than to deliver all the works into the renderer because we would have more control on the final composition. Computer are worker, not creator. The creativity should be kept controlled by the man's hands.

The wallpaper version, 360x480 pixels. I needs to readjust position of character and text so it suits My 9530 layout

Here it is when applied. Pretty nifty, eh? Now My Storm is good to go

Because a friend ask me for the other wallpaper version, I tried to make some. The PSP, wide, and HD version, for now, and still accepting request for other resolution.

PSP [480x272 pixels]

Widescreen [1440x900 pixels]

Full HD [1920x1080 pixels]

Choosing between Omnia i900 and Blackberry Storm 9530

Rest in peace

That morning I woke up my Samsung Star S5233 cellphone's touchscreen suddenly inactive, totally. Sure the screen looked okay, normal, the keypad too, but it didn't respond any touch! I couldn't send or open message, open phonebook, etc. I could only call the last number that had calling me. A fully touchscreen phone that can't be touch? Hmmmm.. I bought it on the August 2009, so the warranty has been expired, ouch.
Then I guessed I need to get a new cellphone. So I did a little riset to find a new phone that suits me, the thing itself and [of course] the price. After long one day of browsing, reading, comparing. I had narrowing the selection into two: Samsung Omnia i900 and RIM Blackberry Storm 9530.

Why Omnia?

Samsung Omnia i900

I've been accustomed to touchscreen and Samsung. Omnia would give the feel like the upgrade of my good ol' Star. It has all what Star has plus alot of better things. Much more better processor, better technology, and my favorit OS: Windows Mobile. And personaly I really love the look. The only BIG drawback is it's an old released phone. It has been discontinued so I wouldn't find the new item on the market, only the used one.

Why Storm?

RIM Blackberry Storm 9530

Blackberry has been a new phenomenon in Indonesia. Alot of people use it because of it's easy and user friendly internet service such as facebook, email, twitter etc. But I was holding back into getting it because of personal reason. I don't like Blackberry's keypad form, not style. It's more into it's physical look, I just don't like it. That was untill I found about Storm, a touchscreen version of Blackberry. Therefore, my personal Balckberry problem's solved.

So I decided to get Blackberry.
