Group photo.

Fun weekend out with friends. We went to Body world 3, too bad we're not allowed to take any pictures. I was thinking of waiting till i get to the end and then run back really fast and take picture right after i'm done, i will get thrown out but it wouldn't really matter anyways since i done. haha. But i didn't think about it till i was out of the door. D-OH!!!!coinsidently my sister decided to come on the same day. they rode the Suzuki Hayabusa up here, i like to have a bike someday. In the pictures we have, Justine, Dieana, SAra, Greg, Sister, and Joe. AFter ward we went to the Asian Festival, too bad we didn't stay very long i really wanted to see what sort of show they have and taste all the food. oh well, next time.

My first..

still testing

Yeahhh! Finally got my first paycheck from 6PPR. That outa keep me working harder. Unfortunately i have to wait another week before i can get my other computer back on line again. in the main time i m loving my new computer. My roomate Dan is moving to Texas he got a job..Cheers! to Dan. Sorry, haven't drawn anything as of late but this weekend for sure though. Thanks to those that do visit my blog on a regular basis. until next time, i wish you all a wonderful day.

My Damn Luck

same setting as the one below. He is my best friend ;) nice quality for a 250 dollars camera.
here s another one, I had the window covered up with a blanket and very little light coming though.
heres a sample picture with the new camera. ISO800 pure darkness except for that. Pretty damn amazing if you tell me, very little noise.

Unfortunately The power supply for my computer was sooo powerful (680 W of pure love) it blew it self out when i turn it on. But luckily I used the one from my old computer, Damit, now i have to send it back and still only have one computer. In other good news, I was able to Overclock it to 3.2 Mhz so fart...not a hit of fire or smokes...yet. :P

only one more day!

Things are getting hectic here. right now i am working on 18 rerender of the houses. not much time to do any updates here. but i will try my best when i get my new computer tomorrow. I think we have a few more jobs coming, we are working on town houses next. should be interesting.
in other news...This weekend I'm going to Body world 3 finally and Chinese Festival afterwards. will have pictures.

Wow, I guess I have been posting like crazy since this blog started. That's cool though, hopefully it ll still be around when i turn 60 I would love to see what i will know then to what i know now.

Must stay swake..

trying to test out something.

Blah Blah!!

another long night at work, but lucky one of the computer here is down and the monitor is not being use. to take advantage of that i brought in my computer. yes my main computer. but just the tower now i can do pretty much all the work i need to do and whatever. of course i forgot to bring my Drawing tablet. ..oh will i ll pick it up on my break. in other news now that i will have a second computer i can now going back to painting on a regular basis and render out 3d stuff at the same time.

There are still nice people out there.
the other week i almost cry because i lost my wallet...again. Usually i don't care if i lose it or not because i usually don't keep anything in it other then my driver license and my credit card. But on that day i needed to bring my alien card, my social security card, and for some reason my atm card to work so that they can make photo copy of it. that day i wear this pants that have this huge pockets. i could put a lunch box in there and never know if it fell out. ....to make the long story short. replacing an alien card is 300 dollars and 9 months to a year of wait time. social security card i can always get a new one. so is my driver license. as i was setting around wondering what i should do, thinking to my self...this f.uking great. its karma man, but i couldn't remember what mean stuff i d to anyone lately. ... later that day i got a call from my friend who i d not told about my silly thingy..he told me that the school library has my wallet. i rush down there and was amazed to know that everything was intact, even the 62 dollars i have in there. the lady that work there told me that you must have something that watches over you. and asked if i was religious. I told her, not at all. I told her that i understand the frustration one goes though when the same exact thing happen and would do my best to return the stuff to its rightful owner. The persons that returned my wallet left a number at the front desk and i immediately called to tell them how greatfull i am that they did that. From the looks of their names I think they re from India (We have lots of residents there that are from that part of the world.) They told me that they understand the hassel of losing such important card: The alien card. they say that they were going to give it to the policemen and all that stuff. Man, that made my DAY :) If i had a million dollar to blow, i d give it to them :P

will add more later, i thought i share the story with some of you guys.

New computer , Yeahh!!

With the money i made from the houses I just ordered those Hardware, now i can draw while waiting for the render to get done. :P I m hoping to over clock my CPU to 3500 Mhz, but i ll be happy at 3000. Considering the stock speed is 1800 Mhz, that would be freaking amazing, base on alot of the reviews i d been reading hitting 3000+ is as easy as counting 1 to 9. I got very nice fan to keep it cool so it should be doable. the best thing is it ll be as fast as the $900 CPU. I was thinking about getting 8gigs of ram, but thats way too expensive. almost 800 and not made by the more well know brand. only very few company/selections are avalible as far as i can tell. Its hard to go anything less then 4 gigs now that i m used to it. Getting rid of the old cam and getting a point and shot cam instead the Fuji Finepix F31fd suppose to be the best low light camera. It will be handy because my old junker can't do squad in low light condition. (and to think i wasted 1200 on it ..dam it ) that way i can take pictures in near dark condtions with nice forms for pictures ref and studies. One day i ll be able to afford a Quad Core CPU. (that would be the dream...actually having a dual Quad Core CPU would be the ultamate dream. can you imagines 8 cpus ...thinking about it gets me Hot and Hor...Oh wait. hehe, I trade my girl friend for that :P only if i have one to trade. speaking of good looking girl, I think she may like me, if not then i start crying like little girls. HA-HA! Not!! ) Instead of taking 8 mins to render an image, it ll take only 2. i know it doesn't seem much , but its alot when you have to do it 100x.
Still need to pick up another monitor, probably a 24" but that won't be until the
the come out, i heard many good things about this one , but wont be out for ...well, i think it was suppose to be out already but got pushed back.. I heard it suppose to be top notch. there's also another new lcd panels by them that suppose to have better colors . for those looking to get a new lcd , check here. very interesting stuff
i may save for that, but, not sure how i m going to run two computer with just one monitor. ;(
I can't afford a new video card so for the moment just going with the old junker I borrowed from Jay. Would love to get the new ATI R600 but its more of a gaming card. what i really want is the Quadro 5400. But thats a $2000 card. ...almost more then my two computer put together. for now all i got is the FireGl 7..thousand something.. well, the most important thing is that i can continue to draw while rendering on the faster machine, my current system is plenty fast for the things i do, but my new one will be twice as fast. see there Firingsquad
very impressive stuff. my currently cpu is the 3800 x2 over clocked to 2366, was hoping to hit at least 2500 Hhz, but the RAM wont budge. well, most of you probably don't know what the heck i m talking about, but I do know a thing or two about good computer hardware if you like to get some knowledgeable advices feel free to ask I be more then happy to help :)

Blah blah, Perfect, I m talking to my self ..again..Cya'll

Another TEst

This one will take a while, i did the model a few years back, i think it was back in 04.

High Hope

latest render, can't seem to get the glass to reflect the environment. oh well, next time.

heres something else i like to go back and relight and touch up but only one piece at a time.

here s an older version i did back in 2003. quite a change.

after hours of monkeying around, here's a slightly better version. it turned out pretty good

I finally figured out how to used the Vray Sun. YEAHHH!!

I am relighting the scene and will retexture it.

interesting story, this was about 3 weeks ago. a friend of my told me that he knew someone that got commisioned to work on building 12 houses just like we did. He had 3 weeks to do it. He was going to split the load with my friend that way they could do 2 houses each per week. But in the end greed took over him because he flacked out on my friend and stopped talking to him. I don't know why people do that. Its so inconsiderate ( hehe i did answered my own questions a few second a go) if they dont want you to work on the stuff in the end, it would be nice to just say it. anyways, i'n not sure how the quality exspectation were , but i m sure the more realistic the better and i wasn't told how many different shots they wanted for each house. all i remember was that they just wanted the exterior done. It was 1000 per house, thats 12000 in 3 weeks. that would be so cool when we can charge that much, i can do a house a week and i ll be set ") heh, until then.

lots of things happening.

lots of things, good things happened. I did this drawing while working . we finished the house check here .6 Point Perspective Rendering
CHEERS!!!!! To speed things up, i m gettting a second computer, that way i can render on one computer and continue workign on the other. more works, staying busy, .. more later.

Our Hard work is paying off!!! ( hopefully my luck will change for once)

Yet another Long night at work

Elfy Mermaid

Some thing i did last weekend at 5am. it was so hard to try and stay awake and try to paint at the same time. Try not to laugh too hard, I haven't touch any painting in nearly 2 week. its amazing how much your painting skills deteriorate in such short time. but tomorrow I think i am going to start on the next painting. which is that red skull painting. i will continue to paint the other one but i d need to go pick up more brushes. I am still in the process of getting my paintings into this local gallery, but I think i want to have at least 3 nice pieces before i can think about that. I wish i have a studio..or a place where i can go and get dirty and not having to worry about making a mess. I Like to go sign up for Painting class, once a week or something.
Lately I been finding my self talking to my computer, i think i may actually need to get out a bit. I noticed that when ever i stay on it for too long i get all depressed, I like to go around town and paint stuff but its no fun by myself maybe i can drag someone along..
Been watching painting video by: Dan Gerhartz "Her Mother Locket"
Amazing stuff.
I forgot my drawing tablet. last night I had a very graphic dream. As an attempt to save my friend I had to stabbed someone in the neck and slit another in the throat. I wAS running though the amazon jungle trying to get away from something. My dream reflect very much the mood I am in from day to day or maybe it was just the movie i saw before i went to sleep =P .

I like this song. "I Will Be Right Here Waiting For You" by: Bryan Adams.
Not good for my sanity but still good to listen to every now and then.

Oceans apart, day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice, on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
how can we say forever

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here, waiting for you
Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh can't you see it baby,
You've got me going crazy

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here, waiting for you
Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive, this romance
But in the end if I'm with you, I'll take the chance

Oh you can't see it baby
You've got me going crazy

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here, waiting for you
Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

Bad News

here's somethign i did 2 years ago. i like buildig architecture stuff.

Mother of God!!! I accidently formated the wrong hard drive last night :(..but luckily i saved alot of the stuff. Lost a few of my paintings though. and my webpage and stuff i can't remember, oh well, i ll just redo it again. . I wonder why my IDE drive appearred as the primary drive and my master drive which was a SATA drive got changed to something else...well , let that be a reminder ...Fcuk this suck.! But now i have freshly install Windows and its fast like it used to be. I am going to make a mirrow of it so that i don't have to reinstall everythign all over again .

Just messing around.

heh, didin't changed much did it? damn it, and i spend the entire day trying...:(..

Just trying to learn more about Vray as I go. Nothing exciting.

I'm feeling a little blue as of late..sigh, must find ways to keep brain free of cluttering thoughts....must find way to get self out of this...

It never ends!!

It's been a little slow here, but here's a different varietion of the house.

I like to see this one done already but for the sake of learning i decided to used different lighting system. quality is set to Low so it doen't take eternity to render. i am going to try a differnt texture for the house...for fun.
