I just found the cutest, coolest and plain awesome 3D modeling porgram I've ever seen: Teddy

I recently found the website I was trying to build in China. Over the past 2 days I pushed it further and now it has some content. A dozen pieces of my "artwork" (I use that term in the loosest sense of the word), some Audioscrobbler charts (Anyone else still use this?!), a small bio and a photograph (cue Ricky Gervaise voice Ooh, kinky!), and some other stuff thrown in.

It's built off a template design, so if anyone could give me an idea of how to spice it up, I'd appreciate it. Mainly, what's the easiest way to make my artwork page have assorted snazzy looking thumbnails in an easy to navigate grid? I don't expect you to do all the work, but point me in the right direction and you'll get an e-hug from me, and I'm cuddly.

Speaking of Satan... I just found out that rotten.com is cencored from German google search results! Better than banning badgermanpolitics.de but... Hey!

Really cool vacuum flush effect for a HL2 Mod.

An amazing artist I just found...

http://lastfm.dave.cd/coverart.php5

Go there and it will generate a music quilt based on the artists you've listened to and have been logged by last.fm (or you can generate one with someone elses username). You can define things like... image dimensions, album cover dimensions, and do some basic filters.

It doesn't fit well with my resolution of 1600x1200, but here's a taste of what it can do:


Sorry for the size... if it's too big to download you can probably get an idea just from the thumb, or you can try it out yourself.

Pretty sweet if that's your thing. I don't like how my icons got lost in the background so I'm keeping my view of the lake.

I don't even play WoW, but THIS is the ultimate PC hardcore-gaming parody. I laughed so hard.

Nice one AtM. Seeing my own music pictures made me remember what I had listened to but forgot.

You should post about it in our lasf.fm Snarkpit group forum. :smile:

I don't watch South Park (don't think I've seen a single episode), but this one looks fun. Perhaps I'll try to acquire it.

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

Awesome SP episode, watched it this morning with the guys I work with. Most of them play wow so it had even more comedy value.

'Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!'

Found this in an art book. I cut it out and now its on my wall. I like it a lot.



Edit: Resized and hotlinked!

Just got myself a deviant art page.

Still need to populate it with artwork, but its a start.

The drawings look good. Are they from fotos or real world?

Photographs. I'm working on my freehand stuff now, it's a bitch.

Recently found this on DeviantArt: simply amazing.

I love it.

THe blueish landscape looks good. This kind of style became quite popular with Craig Mullins work. The trick is to use hard-edged brushes. Everything's allowed but as little smoothing as possible to get some sharpness in the picture. Works great in Photoshop.

The coolest thingy I found on deviantart so far is this. Actually an experimental flash game but posted on the page, quickly becoming a big hype (I only heard of yesterday). Check out the googletube videos on the link for a taste of what's possible :biggrin:

Here are a few of my favorite deviants if you are interested.

I don't know why I'm so fascinated by end-of-the-world scenarios lately. Maybe it's in the news quite often since all the war and terror.

Anyway, I always asked myself how long it would take for all traces of mankind to disappear. Well, about 200,000 years.

reaper, if you're into end-of-the-world stuff, you'll love Exit Mundi.

www.exitmundi.nl

haha, yes I know that one, frenchy

PS: My favourite is probably grey goo.

Yeah, I figured anyone looking into it would stumble upon that site. My favourite is the one on terrorist attacks just for the humour in it.

And btw, your link just goes to the main site :smile:

That takes you to the page :biggrin:

Hell, is an half-filled auditorium

I guess Kim Jong-il gets a huge boner from watching this.

Not so much found but... I bought a snowboard, boots, and bindings today.

Here are a couple shots of the board:



I'm stoked. Ready for snow!

Nice matey, looks good matey, reminds me I need a new deck for my skateboard, and snowboard.

Have fun riding it!

I really like the base graphics on that board, and you can't really go wrong with Burton kit :smile: You do much snowboarding AtM?

I would consider myself a beginner. I've gone snowboarding a couple times each winter for the past two years, doing greens and blues and normally either borrowing gear or renting it at the slopes. The rental costs add up, and I decided that I like the sport enough to invest in the equipment. I bought a season pass to the local mountain near my school (20 minutes away) and so all I need now besides snow is a helmet. :razz:

The coolest thing about buying the snowboarding stuff yesterday is that Burton's first store was in Burlington, and so now it's their American headquarters. Burlington is only a 50 minute drive from here, so that's where I headed to get my gear. At first I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find their offices/the store because all I had was some mapquest directions, but then I'm driving by this building with an old chair lift strung out across the parking lot and a huge skatepark in the back...

Anyway, I walk in and I see this huge display of Burton snowboards mounted on the wall, year by year for the past 10 years or so. The store is just amazing... they have snowboards under glass displays on the floor, they have snowboards for sale that are signed by the Burton World Team members... and in fact there were some Burton World Team members skating outside, and in the middle of my purchase they all walked in and just sat down on the couches to shoot the s**t.

The salesmen bring their dogs to work, so there's a couple of dogs with names like "Titan" loping around the store following their masters.

The guy that helped me for about an hour and a half has been snowboarding for 14 years, and I imagine he's only 27 or so. Apparently he has a metal plate in his wrist from when he fell off a 45 foot tabletop.

There's a curved snowboard display which has a long and shorter version of every single snowboard in the Burton catalogue, ranging from the 300 dollar starter board to the 950 dollar Vapor, plus some boards you can't find on the site like customs and stuff designed for specific riders like Kazuhiro Kokubo. Everything is just really sweet. It's like a mecca of snowboarding, and I'm just a beginner so I felt like most of the experience was lost on me. I'll make a trip back during my 5 year college reunion or something, when hopefully I have some more experience, so that I can actually appreciate it all.

Wow that was a book.

Edit: The only thing I don't like about my board is it has a spinner.



It's the model and the price I wanted, so I think I can forgive that one aspect. :smile:

That's so gangster AtM, it's like

I'm ridin' spinnas, I'm ridin' spinnas, they don't stop.
I'm ridin' spinnas, I'm ridin' spinnas, they don't stop.
I'm ridin' spinnas, I'm ridin' spinnas, they don't stop.
I'm ridin' spinnas, I'm ridin' spinnas, they rollin'.

Those are insane.

Links need a space or some sort of whitespace in front of them to become automatically linked.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

That one image that has part of dust2 in it... it just looks like he applied a filter or something to it. It seems way too accurate to have been done just freehand.

Woojay Morph! Another snowboarder!

I've being going for a couple years, finally got my own stuff. I went just before the mountain biking stuff came into the store, so I got a LE Darkstar board for half price, and all my other gear around half off.

A friend of mine broke his back last year in the halfpipe... just thought I'd throw that out there....

Sorry to hear about your friend. I'll be staying away from the park (we actually don't have one here, just the normal slopes), but I am looking to pick up a helmet. Knowing me, I'd probably be the kid to go careening into the trees.

A helmet won't help much then :biggrin:

Well, I'll try to lead with my head.

This is a very soothing video:

i've always wanted to go snowboarding, but i live in south missouri and due to my parents being their own employers we don't travel much, never even going skiing

o well i'll just stick to SCUBA diving

Wow. That's uplifting.

Why snark works.

I just found out I can put maps in my Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar... quite obvious actually, but I never tried it. My bookmarks are now much easier to access and I'm probably actually going to use them rather than googling for keywords (strange habit isn't it?)... :smile:

maps? huh?

I like everything firefox but I don't get the maps part. Please explain! :smile:

The song rocks too.
