Hi everyone! Haven't posted in a while, done some stuff and whatnot :).

The Wolf's Lens BTS:

Talks about production issues, VFX tips, and a few non-sequitur rants on marketing strategies and Lynch's films.

Lorne:

Went up to Lorne (a small coastal town) for a mini holiday. Was really fun, went horse riding, came up with an older version of Moirai (below), and just generally unwinded. Also decided not to take a single photo throughout the entire thing, which managed to annoy my mum and sister incredibly. I'm not really sure why though, think the experience was better personally.

The Triumph of Trevor Truelove:

Was a part of a god-awful play that depressed everyone that was a part of it. I was the main villain (bloody Jasper Villius), so that was fun. I got to yell at everyone XD. I actually felt really uncomfortable doing it though…

Moirai:

Obviously those short-films we were going to make fell through, and after TTOTT we needed something more meaty anyway. Me and a group of friends from drama are working on a series of television long episodes (well, almost, just over 30mins each) about a group of teenagers who discover a book containing a list of thousands of people that will die.

So far I've scripted the first episode (You can read it here if you want), planned out the arcs and whatnot. Still not sure how to film some of it (locations, casting etc), but should be fun.

Here's the potential theme song:

Friends:

Time to sound woeful and whatnot, but I haven't had a friend I talk frequently to in over 3 years. And now I have like, 5 or so which is amazing :D. It feels really nice, and quite different to my previous ones (that generally just wanted to use my computer skills to enhance their reputation by taking credit, and I'm generally too nice to refuse). So that's been wonderful :D. On another note I got ripped off $10 yesterday on a cupcake, didn't say anything, I'm really stupid.

Basically left school:

Ayce pissed me off in a variety of ways, won't go into detail but I decided not to attend the last few months. Probably won't go back. So much happier not going anyway. Currently I feel amazing, thinking about it puts me back in the dumps.

Shader Sandwich:

Shader Sandwich is going great, getting quite a few sales each month and the user base is full of really enthusiastic and friendly people :). And currently working on adding an in-built code editor (so you can add custom code, and keep changing the shader in the editor without overwriting it). Also working on in-built volumetrics:

, and of course some other stuff.

Browser (NEW):

Forgot about this, not sure if I mentioned it before but I've been working on a toy browser, can display pages decently, you can't submit forms or anything though. All rendering is done is OpenGL so I've had to reimplement standard controls from scratch, they work pretty well though (selection, copy/pasting, undo's etc).

Out of date screenshot (it does a better job of text rendering and layouting now…)

Lynch & Hitchcock:

Watched Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Vertigo, Shadow of a Doubt and The Trouble with Harry. Hadn't seen a film for several months before that, was enjoyable.

So yeah, that's what I've been up to :). I'll go around a comment on all the other blogs now over the next few days, then vanish for another month :).
