Locked Out (Our Band Update)

Posted by Fender on Jan. 15, 2007, 10:55 p.m.

Rare Fender blog time. I'm in need of a bit of help. Not coding. If you wanna help with coding, go away.

I think I mentioned before about how i started a band with some friends. It's called Lockout. This isn't a debate over a name. I know from experience …

Metaball Water!

Posted by Fender on Nov. 5, 2006, 6:44 a.m.

I figured out a great way to do water in my renders. Not large amounts, just a little. Here's an example:

It involves using lathe NURBS and splines for the glass, a special glass texture of my own, and a metaball modifier plus particle emitter for the water itself. …

End Her

I made a new render. It really sucks and I don't really like it. I do like how the material on the ceiling lights turned out though. And the reflection… But other than that it didn't turn out how I wanted. I was too lazy to make a thumbnail this …

Global Illumination

First render in a loooooooong time. Especially released here. Don't think too many people are going to be looking at this but I need to post it anyways. Basic helix primitive, spot lighting and some badly done textures on my part. I'm sorry for the bump mapping on the brick …

Ukulele Wannabe

I unknowingly passed 3000 hits (not that that's a lot) during several months of almost complete inactivity… That's pretty cool. I should be inactive more often.

Anyways, I feel like writing about my immediete life somewhere and this is probably the best place to do it. Cinema 4D Release 10's …

My Ten Greatest Guitarists

Posted by Fender on Aug. 31, 2006, 3:55 p.m.

My list of greatest guitar players of all time. Because there is no way to do this unless it's extremely biased, I'll just do it saying that these are MY favourite guitarists. I know how many should be on this list, but whatever.

A First?

Posted by Fender on Aug. 26, 2006, 11:40 p.m.

It could be. I have a plan for a game that might actually get far enough and pass my own expectations to the point that I'll feel comfortable releasing it here. Just maybe… It's a platform shooter. Loads of guns. But the main part is that the map is made …

Ontario, 64D and Speakers

Posted by Fender on Aug. 7, 2006, 7:23 p.m.

Yeah, I'm currently half-way across the country. I'm in Brampton, Ontario (that place Gretzky was born in case you didn't know) all the way from Vancouver. As I'm typing this, it's probably about…. 5:30 at home. Here it's 8:30.

Anywho, 64D's back, so I can finally post this blog. HEY …

Cry Baby, Z-5500 and Kamloops

Posted by Fender on July 26, 2006, 11:51 p.m.

Hm…. Interesting title. Anywho:

Some of you might know what the Cry Baby part's about. Dunlop's Original Cry Baby Wah Pedal's what it's about. I'll probably be getting it within the next few days. If you don't know what a wah wah pedal is, I will educate you:

Say wah …
