Official logo for "EXAGE" signature.

All right i've finalized the looks of logo for my newly designed car. This one suits fine comparred to last night. Today i'm going to assign parts naming for 4x4evo1/evo2 format and create TRK handling and performance file. Planning to release around 6 models variant which include some popular themes from "Duke of Hazard" and 911 police edition. Since yesterday more and more peopl thinking this car looks like Camaro. Hhhmmmm........

Youtube Part 2: Mountain biking through borneo bushy trails.

After going down the hill we then enter into some long bushy trails where it lead to a small local villages, few minutes into thick muddy bushes were finally exit the forest and onto to the pit stop where we parked our car beside the beach, by then its dusk. Sorry for the bad video cam angle because i tuck my PSP inside my pants. Will improve the video recording position after i make a cam mount over the helmet next week. Keep watching for our Sunday activity.

" EXAGE CD 20.0 XL - AM " model completed!

Allright! i manage to completely finish off the detailed touching on the models itself. The model (EXAGE CD 20.0 XL-AM)"EXAGE CONCEPT DESIGN 20.0 XL-AM" is now ready for compiling and assign parts code to make it works into game such as 4x4evo1/2. I receive lots of comments about this car have looks similar to Concept Camaro but if you look closely on the geometry, wheel base and dimension size its totally different. Overall it has few looks when you look at cetain angle: 70's/80's Toyota Celica GT, Camaro, Barracuda, Saleen and exotics. Still the half "X" trademark of SupermnotoXL remains on the front and rear grill arch. I've already receive advertising space from fans who want publicly custom paintjobs to advertise their team signature and some stuff they want to show off on respective game itself on this car. This will involve lots of paintjobs but worth the effort since they pay the bills, On my side i'm glad those mouse twisting modelling work was all over. Its perfect,

Youtube Part1- Borneo head hunter trails, down the hill i go!

Here are video take from my PSP video cam ( gocam / chottoshot ) which i tuck inside my pants color. Our group mountain biking on Borneos head hunter trails. As shown on video now I'm going down the hill trying to re group with other guys down below the hills. Kinda a bumpy and technical ride. The camera view angle was bad tho since i just tucked in my pants, i'll improve the cam view soon.

Our very own mini HAWAI.

Here's some snaphots taken at the beach not for from where we park our cars and start our sunday mountain biking into the woods yesterday. I took some photo with my PSP GoCam. The weather was wonderfull, the sea was calm and great place to relax and peace in mind. I wish my house was near the seaside. We called this place our mini HAWAI located very remote from the outskirt of the city away from civilization and polution. Not many people knew this place, that's is good for us. We always visit here for our biking pit stop.

Go! epic ride into MIRI wonderland!

Today amazingly beautiful, as you can see the from picture the sky so blue, the tree so green and the land beyond the horizon is like movie technicolor. Taken picture use only basic PSP cam you can see there no photo enhancement. This is truly amazing day. Our group decided to ride a new track discovered weeks ago high above the hills which have superb beautiful view of MIRI land. It was challenging ride as we encounter technical tails, bumps and deep dangerous ravine off the cliff. Up there mystical windy breeze just brush our face cooling is down to enjoy beautiful view of the country side, as we go further into sunset time the environment changes to golden orange remind me of praire fields which looks awesome! Today worth adventure into outdoors! I have some video clip of our ride soon will publish it on youtube.

! Morning breakfast with LE CHEF DAVID !

Its another beautiful morning! Sky so blue, cloud so white and i'm feeling super right. Time to head the kitchen! Time for some cooking.

Good morning, its Sunday. I need heavy duty food plus tonnes of energy with crusty and tasty breakfast. Its for cycling energy to fuel up this afternoon ride. I'm experimenting with new ingredient into blank crusty flour flat pan cake. I'm going to add this melted shrimp which i found on the fridge locally they called this clump of muddy shirmp "cencaluk". I just took pintfull of thos thing into my breakfast cooking. To enhance the flavor put powerder cinamon and local made black paper. The stir them into the hot oil. Mix with flour, hot dog sausage and two egg into crusty munchies. 20 minutes later ...Waaaa laaa!! magnifiQue!!! tasty breakfast fresh from the cooking pan. I called it. "Pan de Shrimpo!"

Let see if the food energy cold push my cycling performance to the max later afternoon

Preview of ICE (In Car Entertainment) view from the top. Back speaker equipment shown, an some on the side door.

Blue afternoon.

Ahhh.....sunny day, anything that is blue up in the sky put a big smile in the face. It must be dry and sunny to keep me feel alive and adventurous. Some people are shame enough not able to appreciate their beautiful surroundings. Thanks god i learn to appreciate stuff around me. I feel like tarzan today. Feeling you is good for health even you're aging. That's psychological truth.

Morning with KOLO Noodles.

Only for this morning as i woke up late i decided to take quick munch at cafe. This one only can fill me 30% of energy. Should have took 3 bowls because its Satuday and need energy to go out riding later.

BETA model - EXAGE rear preview.

Here is a rear close up view of "EXAGE" models that i just completed minutes ago. Its in beta stage so this is not a finalized appearance as i'm currently enhancing some details this weekend. Hopefully i should finish it up soon by this Sunday as a complete model before compile into functional model

UV mapping done, now to the next stage…detailing and patching.

Here we got a pretty uneven UV patched texture with some borderlines of different color shading. First need some paint skills to make the color gap even, then later I will add extra details like door lines, grooves, body rivets, grilling, object shadows and some necessary details to make the models looks real and authentic.

UV Mapping & texture templating

I've just done creating texture templates for wrapping the models meshes. Now comes to UV mapping process to map all unmapped 3d meshes. I used non-linear UV mapped which is most effective way to minimized the used of texture on the templates and increase the use of detailed texture per-pixel. Non-linear is an advantage but will be disadvantage for some game simulator or some game which enables linear mapping for custom ingame texture painting. As for me what the heck i just do what i'm capble of. Beside you can simply re-edit/repaint manually the texture either in TGA, DDS, TIF or any supported format for models under respective game port.
