This post is just a quick note to say that the Fluid Video Embeds plugin now supports a shortcode implementation. This is useful if you want to embed a YouTube or Vimeo video in one of your php theme files. Read more about it at the Fluid Video Embeds page in the WordPress plugin repository. Thanks to Alexander for the suggestion!

Recently, TurboSquid has been featuring their artists on the home page of their site and posting interviews n their blog.
I was lucky enough to be chosen for a feature! My motorcycle model was paired up with another talented artist’s motorcycle rider model, and they were rendered together for a Read More
I’ve been working on this project for a long time. It’s very close to being finished and I wanted to share a render from the end of the modeling phase. About 99% of the geometry is completed at this point and I’m about to begin the texturing phase. Unlike my previous models, this bike will not be fully UV Mapped. The model uses geometry to tell most of the story instead of heavy use of texture maps.
Here are a couple of images from one of my W.I.P models. Read More
I recently thought about the older browsers I used when I didn’t know any better, and it immediately dawned on me; I used to use IE6 and I liked it kind of… The thing is that I didn’t know any better.
I was surfing 3D forums at my workplace on a dial up modem back in late 2004 and one of my forums was taking longer than usual to load (we’re talking minutes here). One of our neighbors in the building was a small web company Read More
I’m studying up on responsive design and decided to design an exceedingly simple but functional theme for my site.
What you’re seeing right now is just the base theme that I will customize further once I’m happy with the framework.
Try resizing your window or viewing this site on an iPad. You’ll notice that the navigation changes, the sidebar becomes the footer and the prev/next posts buttons become sticky and stay with you when you scroll.
Update: Oct 30th 2011
I’ve removed the sticky prev/next buttons as they don’t play very well with the Android browsers… Booooo!
Update: Apr 10th 2012
I’ve further simplified the design for aesthetic reasons. The sidebar is no more and the typography has been changed a bit. The layout is also no longer fluid. It is still responsive in that it uses media queries, but it’s not ‘flexy’ like it was before.
I’ve used the Wakemate for a while and the final verdict is that I love it. It’s a lot better than a regular alarm clock. However, when I first got my Wakemate it wouldn’t play nicely with my Samsung Epic 4G (Galaxy S). That’s a real shame as these are one of the most popular Android phones (Galaxy S) and the key with a product such as the Wakemate is that it works reliably across the board.
After much troubleshooting and testing I actually gave up on using it with my primary cell phone. (I would have tried my wrist band on my iPad, but unfortunately Apple’s policies forbid this… Don’t act so surprised) So instead, I bought an old Motorola Droid v1 from a co-worker. It works flawlessly with the Droid Read More
During one of my 3D classes at Platt College, one of my instructors showed us the Making of Varga as a source of inspiration. Funnily enough, the most inspiring part of the process for me was not the modeling or texturing, but specifically the Normal Mapping techniques. Read More
While editing one of my website pages I wanted to see what would happen if I compared the same revision with itself. It’s nice to see that the WordPress developers have a sense of humor! Read More
I decided to spend the better part of my Friday night doing what clears my mind from Web Development: 3D!
Here’s a quick render of my latest model:
The images that follow are some renders of one of my latest products on TurboSquid. I created these models as a texturing exercise, but I think they make good assets for sale as well; they are all UV mapped.
