Below is a movie taken directly from the alpha version of AltSci3d Anime Producer. Pressing the R button started the movie at the compression I wanted. The scene played through and I moved the camera with the common WASD style controls. When the animation finished, I pressed the T button to end it. I closed the program and in my program directory was a 1 MB file called test.avi. I cropped it in Virtual Dub and here it is. This is the type of action that will be continuously seen throughout Javantea's Fate Anime in less than a year from now. It will be approximately two hours long and will cover the manga's content. I will sell it as a download, DVD, VHS, DivX on CD, and 3d medium. Are you impressed yet? As I said, it isn't ready for public consumption, but how long will it take when JF will not have to compete for time with my Physics degree? Secondly, check out this animation. I'm getting pretty good with MS3D aren't I? That model is very old (84 days old) and my newer models are much better (the Dojo Ambush perp models are 43 days old). What I'm trying to sell here is the idea that as I get better at this (which I am at a fast rate), the technology is in place so that it will be sweet.
What's with this picture? Well, it only took 45 minutes to make it. It's a continuation of the previous one. What's the diff? Duh, look at the shirt. The previous shirt is a pullover (I wear pullovers from time to time). A more realistic shirt is the 50% zipper or full zipper. That's kinda what this is. It's not very good, but it's something. Everything starts with something. Add a zipper to the texture, add a collar, and make the undershirt look more realistic and there you go. The lesson? No pullovers! Even my favorite pullovers have a small v in the front. My knowledge of fashion is zilch, but I know that by 2014, I'll be wearing clothes that make me look cool. That rules out all clothing that would fit a 6000 lb gorilla which sadly enough all my clothes do. Don't blame me, I don't buy clothes. Most of my clothes are around five years old, back when I gave a damn (it didn't make a difference, I looked like a dweeb then, I look like a dweeb now).
I deliver! But before I talk about it, see my friend Michael's video. It's thirty minutes long and compressed well to 36 MB split into three parts. Don't worry about slashdot effect. This server is backed by a dual OC-48 connection to the backbone of the internet. And anyways, these CSE majors need practice on how to handle a massive strike of dissent on their webservers. It's better to learn how to cope before it becomes a problem that costs you your cushy admin job, right?
So the plan for tonight? If you're a smart, single, beautiful, young lady who has a liking for an optimistic physicists, the plan is to come over to 5050 7th Ave NE. ^_^ Else, you'll have to just listen up. I was being lazy with this. I didn't change the character model. I didn't change the grenade launcher. I just combined the two and gave it a new skin. What's so cool about that? Really nothing. It means that Scene 5, Page 2 and 3 are coming soon, but not tonight. Tomorrow would be a JF day, but there's a lecture on Nanorods at the UW tomorrow at 3 PM. Factor in sleeping in, training, talking with my housemate, and surfing the web and you'll likely see something like this tomorrow too. The lesson? Texture means a bunch to a secondary model. Just switch the texture and you have a second person. I feel bad saying it, but people are hardly unique. Tomorrow I'll prove that wrong, just watch.
