Lolz

I imported an item I did for the MMORPG Planeshift into UT3, did it as I was following a tutorial on the subject. It put a smile on my face :)

I Drink Your Milkshake

Also, I finally caught "There Will Be Blood" and now I understand the new 2008 catch phrase. Though, I have to say, the scene where it's taken from was so sudden and a little confusing but not really at the same time. What's with all these movies and their crazy endings, like the one in "No Country For Old Men". Both good movies though. I DRINK IT UP!

UnrealEd3: Not As Bad As I Thought

Finished my first day of learning UnrealEd3, wasn't as bad and daunting as I thought it would be. Or maybe because today I was just an intro? :) We shall see.

Continuing My Edumacation

I've decided to learn UnrealEditor3 and Mudbox in the next few weeks. I really wanted to do another scene but I think I better learn all the tools. I have a checklist of all the things I want to learn and I think I'm gonna go through it completely, that way I can just focus on my portfolio later. I'm still doing props for Planeshift so that'll be a fun diversion from my studying. Anyways, off to get edumacated! :)

Fork In The Road

Thinking what should I do next.. I want to do a new scene but I also want to learn UnrealEditor3 and Mudbox. I have alot of fun doing scenes, but I think I should get these two programs out of the way.. hmmmmmm..

Planeshift: Skull Mask

Worked on a skull mask for Planeshift today.

New PC!

Parts finally arrived. New PC is assembled, rawr!



Not super top of the line but much better than my old one.. now my video card is too slow.

Alex Kam does not sleep. He waits.

And waits and waits for his remaing 2 computer parts to arrive and then finally be able to assemble his new upgrade computer.

More More Normal Maps

Happy V-Day, in celebration here are some Metal Bewbs! I'm still messing around with different normal map generation methods and playing around with Maya's Transfer Map tool, pretty neat.

More Normal Maps

Still messing around with different methods of producing normal maps.. hmmm

Hmmm.. Interesting

I didn't know I had any allergy's to anything until lately.. in fact I'm still in denial and I still don't know exactly what gives me the allergy symptoms. I ran out of Claritan (just 2 weeks worth) and felt fine until a few days later.. ugh! After buying more and taking a tablet I can't believe the difference it makes. Now this is interesting because I've always had these symptoms for years but never thought it could be due to allergies so I never did anythin about it... I've had so many weeks in my life that could've been fixed by taking a friggen Claritan?! Now I wonder how many other people out there have lived their live's with weird cold like symptoms and never knew it could be allergies like me..

Anyways on a semi-3d related note, I'm finally gonna upgrade my computer. Will be nice to actually run Unreal Tournament 3 and the included editor, lol, and other things too heh..

Normal Maps

Dun dun dunnn! <--- dramatic music




just messing around with normal map generation

Planeshift: Bone Club

Made a bone club for Planeshift, submitted it and now waiting for review.

Planeshift: Volunteering

Got accepted to contribute 3d assets to Planeshift http://www.planeshift.it on a volunteer basis. Its a free MMORPG. I got my first few small tasks, it's definetly different working with certain limits as opposed to my personal stuff. That's a good thing for me, I will definetly learn because of it. Hopefully I can fit it alongside my studying, hmm....

Creepy Hospital: Done!

Well I would say I'm finished lighting and messing around with rendering this scene. So, time to move on, things to do, things to learn and that sort. Full 1024 resolution pic on my portfolio site www.alexkam.com
