Hey everybody! I'm back! :D
So, why am I posting this time? Well, I want to "show off" my latest project, which I started roughly a week after finishing up the NES project. I'm also going to keep this short by linking in the actual page!

Nintendo Entertainment System - FINAL RENDER!
After working off-and-on for over a year, I've finally finished my NES model! This was created using only open-source software (Blender 2.5 series and GIMP) and is the single most complex project I've ever undertaken. :D
A few statistics :
- Number of vertices at final calculation (for rendering) : just over [B]1.5 MILLION[/B].
- More than half the textures used were created from scratch.
- Started in June 2010 to celebrate the announcement of "The Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword".
- A real NES was used for direct measurements. This is my most physically-accurate model yet.
- Oh, and this is entirely, [B]100% Blender Internal Render Engine[/B]. No external engines whatsoever.
The NES console is of course the property of Nintendo - this is a tribute by a fan to what is probably the greatest gaming console ever created :D
...my mind is actually having trouble adjusting to the fact that I really am done O_o

Still here, the NES project survives, & the Secret Project is announced at last!
Yep, you read that right, the 3D NES project is still in progress! I'm actually trying to finish it up so I can move on to other things, and get my mind fully concentrated on that secret project (which I'll be talking about in a minute) as well as be able to start other new projects, such as working on some car models. A lot of cars have awesome designs - Porches, Morgan Plus 8s, and so on - and I've wanted to model cars for a while...watching the awesomeness that is the UK's Top Gear didn't help much. ;)
Anyway, about that secret project! I've been slowly piecing this whole thing together since January, and although it's nowhere near completion (in my opinion, anyway), I'm giving you a sneak peek!
Yep, I'm working on my new website! That's just a snapshot of the Free Downloads section (yes, you read that right as well), but there's a lot more to it. ...at least, that's the plan. I'm hoping to get it up and running before the end of the year (by then I should have something that's up to the level I want it...hopefully.)
Well, that's it from me for now, so see you in another six months!
...
...just kidding :D hopefully I'll be on here to post a bit more often from now on.

Quick post
"It's quiet...too quiet." --Peppy Hare, Star Fox series
Hey everyone...if you're still there :P I know, it's been eerily quiet here (hence that Star Fox quote) over the last several months, but I don't have much to blog about. Still working on the secret project, still blending whenever I have the time, and still ice-skating when I can (SKATING FTW!).
Hopefully things'll pick up again someday soon, but until then, Do a barrel roll!! :D
