I gave myself the challenge of creating an entire game demo in flash, including simple 3D models built in 3DS Max and rendered off for in-game graphics over a weekend and this is the result.
Let me know if it’s too easy/too hard and if anyone would like me to continue the project and turn it into a full game.
A quiet night’s sleep is not an option for Derek Rogers or his wife - because he turns from a mild-mannered “Dr Jekyll” by day to a “Mr Hyde” by night.
First time I’ve heard of someone having to take a potion before going to bed to stop them, becoming ‘Hyde’-like
Now if any more proof was needed to illustrate the decline of children’s TV in the UK, other than just trying to watch 5 minutes or more of it (there is the occasional good cartoon, but they are almost always imported), look no further than the following news story.
The hosts of BBC children’s programme Blue Peter have apologised to viewers after the results of a competition were faked last November.
Premium phone line regulator Icstis is investigating the incident, which was discovered when another visitor to the programme set, Mona Zahoor, wrote to the BBC’s Have Your Say messageboard.
It’s a sad state of affairs when a show with over 4000 episodes under it’s belt and nearing it’s 50th anniversary is found to be an out and out liar, makes you wonder how many other things they’ve lied to us about over the years, was that even a real elephant doing it’s ‘business’ live on air?, and how exactly did all of those pets die?!
For those of you that already read Applegeeks you’ll already know about the Eve Figure they’ve had made, for those that don’t and like collectable figures/toys/model kits etc there’s a bunch of images here:- http://www.applegeeks.com/theevefigure/ It’s listed as currently not for sale, but due to the huge amount of responses they’ve had for it I think it’s not going to be too long before they decide to release a retail version.
I’ve been reading their webcomic for a couple of years now, and highly recommended it to everyone else out there, there’s a mix of humour along with some real storytelling and drama and consistently good artwork, to the point where I decided to start making my own Eve Figure a couple of months back when I recently began sculpting again, but haven’t got very far yet. Seeing the excellent work they’ve had produced on their professionally made figure has left me undecided as to finish my version off, or try to convert it to a different character, we’ll see how the mood takes me I guess.
Don’t know how I missed this, some really impressive real-time artwork using just sand and light. This guy even gives Tony Hart a run for his money (Hart Beat and it’s variations used to be amongst my favourite shows as a kid). Gotta give credit to WilySteve over at the The Clubhouse Forum for posting a link to this one.
The equivalent of Scratch ‘n’ Sniff for the internet, hmm ,interesting idea, but to be honest why?
Within a decade the net will be able to deliver smells as fast as it does data, predicts a report.
