anakjawa.com

Finally....after long hours testing and putting the necessary info...i manage to upload anakjawa.com my own website to the internet. Actually this is more...less act as a portal to all malaysian digital sculptor to share info regarding modelling, rendering and animation. Below are the main page to anakjawa.com. Try clicking the Portal, ngobrol dulu (borak tentang 3d). Kedai runcit(still not upload yet... undertesting and putting some more info to finalize it).

Monster House

I saw it last evening, Great Movie!. The textures were perfect, some of the scenes are a bit scary. But nothing kids couldn't see in live-action, and the cartoonish look takes the edge off. I really liked the "puppet" look to the characters.
Maybe it's not for toddlers and really little kids. Looking at the movie there is a certain feel that mo-cap based animation certainly seems to feature in many places . The whole family loved this movie. Chowder is hilarious! . ..All together this movie rocked, liked other reviews have said, it reminds you of the goonies.

Inspired CG Movies

This morning 31/08/2006 as a proud citizen i watched the perbarisan in astro RIA...after solat zohor went to IOI Puchong buying wayang tickets for "Monster House" film this Saturday with my family. I need to spent some quality time with my family and lepas gian after along time never watching 3D film in the panggung. After all this film related to 3d so, its a learning process for me. I've watched more than 20 3D films for the past 10 years. Here are my inspiration 3D movies that give me motivation to jump into 3D wagon:

• Toy Story (1995)
• Antz, A Bug's Life, (1998)
• Toy Story 2 (1999)
• Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within, Jimmy Neutron:Boy Genius, Shrek, Monster Inc,(2001)
• IceAge (2002)
• Finding Nemo (2003)
• Shrek 2,Shark Tales, The Incredible(2004)
• Robots,Chicken Little, Madagascar, Valiant (2005)
• IceAge 2, The Wild, Over The Hedge, Cars(2006)

Pixar, DreamWorks, DNA Productions,Blue Sky Studios,Blur Studio and Disney are modeler and animator are all dreams company to works on. In Malaysia ClickGrafix is a sample company...but its not 100% malaysian company.

I hope someday there will be a 100% malaysian + bumiputra that can become like Pixar, DreamWorks, and so on bla..bla..bla.

Merdeka!

Tommorow On 31 August 2006, Malaysia will celebrate its 49th independence day. On the glorious day of 31 August 1957, Allahyarham Tunku Abdul Rahman proudly declared the independence of Malaya (now Malaysia) by shouting out “Merdeka” seven times at the Merdeka Stadium.

Therefore, we, as the younger generation and citizens of Malaysia, must protect our country from any harmful sources. We should work hard together to gain superiority and not to be left behind. Though education plays an important role, but it will only be successful the people are willing to contribute and sacrifice. The quality of independence is indirectly proportional to the action taken by its people to maintain and strenghten it.

Independence is not a joke. When it’s gone, it’s the end. If that happens, we will suffer a lot from humiliation and discrimination. We don’t want history to repeat itself. Therefore, we must always be prepared to protect our country. We must endure the saying “From the fall of Malacca, we raise Malaysia!”.

Another 9 hours more before i can celebrate it. i'm on holiday until next monday. ..doing some wings3d tutorial video and some plastering in the kitchen area.

Selamat Hari Merdeka!

House Tutorial

Here i post a basic how to build a 3d house using wings3D. Below are some step that been taken to design the house:

• Firstly create a primitif box object. (click RMB)
  
• Select 2 edges and connect both edges.
• move selected edge to y-axis
  
• select a few faces and do some extrude region
  

Summary:
Commands used :move, edges, extrude region
Keyboard button : c = connect, f=face, e = edge
shortcuts: RMB=Right Mouse Button

a cup of Tea

This morning, While waiting somebody to call for help with their emails, i done speed modelling and learning how to render in modo 202. here are the result. Its took 20 minutes for the modelling 5 second for the rendering. Still in learning process.

Hong Kong & Beijing Trip

This is the first time, i got oportunity to go over the sea, and finally after more than 15 years working in public sector, an official visit to HK and Beijing being made. In HK is fun, and i manage have fun in disneyland, shopping in Mong Kok, travelling under the sea to reach the other side of HK and finally to Stanley Street.

While in Beijing, Sightseeing the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square is a must. Shopping here is quite diffcult, people prefered mandrin than english, but the calculator saving the day... my next trip will be to africa..maybee before fasting month.

Kerawang @ Opis

At my office area..theres a lot of this design can be found, gold in colour. ...trying to test my skill...using reference image capture by digital camera.

Work with youtube

This animation testing using UVMap+bum map+rendering done on febuari, i don't have time and don't know how to put inside this blog. But time goes by...suddently is see this ads about view video clips from youtube

So i registered and godeh some coding and finally it works. Next time...more animation sample will be put heree...bye fo now.

Work, Work and Work (www)

It should be not the reasons that the blog is not being updated for so long..but I'm too busy after getting new boss with her new roadmap in mind and being transfer to totally new job scope. (Email administration)...fuyoo...nothing related to multimedia anymore.

But i still have time to do some modeling. Almost 7 months i done a few model and playing around with modo 202 dan silo 1.42 demo.

My animation project still alive. but the progress is very slow indeed. I managed to add some more know-how into my head, especially regarding LW. FYI, here are my skill in doing 3D related jobs.

• Modelling 70% + Texturing 20 % + rigging 5% +Lighting 5 % +Camera 1% +NLA 2% + Rendering 1%

In the mean time...i'm done some finishing to official website, almost 90 %. Still searching for catchy domain name..that can reflect website concept.

I promise farid to park this website at his server. He had a business related to Domain and server things. When i finalize the front page...i will show to you all.InsyaAllah.

When i'm thinking again...i got some idea to create video training cd for wings3d...at least it can be used to pay the server bill...hope this can be realize in this coming month.

My wish for 2006

It still not late to say Happy New Year 2006 and Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha... This year I wish to lose some weight and finish my animation project. I manage to quit smoking last year and save roughly RM300 a month from buying cigarette. One of the strong reason to quit smoking is for me to done my haj without any health problem.

I'm in the process to sharpen my skill in lightwave especially in lighting, rendering and animating . Workflow from wing3D to lightwave is much easier with the plugins develop by scorpius to export into .lwo and modo format. Thanks for this great plugins.

Watch out for this new modeler modo & silo. Anybody that familiar with Lightwave, easy to adapt to modo. The interface can be customized, meanwhile silo is more like wings3D...but don't forget wings3D is free.

My animation project "101 -I don't believe you anymore..."
