Sunny friday.

Was happy because today is a perfect day for outdoor biking after office hours, pull out my bike and roam endlessly around the city and up into highest peak to get a cool view up there. The sky looks fabulous! aromatic color and the windy cloud jet effect create stunning trails of clouds up in the sky backed with beautiful sunset beyond the horizon.

Lunch.

There's nothing to say, an office lunch. Be gald that we're not in Somali. For RM$2.50 can fuel me up till next day.

The inspiration- colors of life.

With a heart of an artist inherited from my mother i have tendency to roam outdoors into open space look up into the sky, watching the tree wave along breezy wind, the white clouds againt beautiful blue sky and beautiful sunset. I'm so lucky to realised that the world around me so beautiful even despite the fact people complain its hell on earth..that's for short due to commercialization and social barrier that inflicted blind mind in peoples thoughts. Hey, call me hippie cuz i'm free!

Being outdoor is fun and feel very much alive rather than confined inside the building. Its the best way from me to collect ideas and inspiration especially when i try to come up with a new 3d design or graphic project. Around us have so many interesting color and aroma which only certain people could sense and experienced it. For some people looking into the horizon or the sky doesn't make any differences or trigger any feeling at all, that is because the mentality and behaviour of such person being self centered and too much clinging toward people and material gain. For short that person doesn't know much purpose of life or what his or purpose born here.

As for me the condition of weather, movement of winds, changes of color around me, the shape of clouds and its horizon trigger deep sense of nostalgic past and sense of excitement! Sometimes it can be an educational experience which i can learn some and blend this experience into ideas and then put it into solid object such as design or object which translate my ideas and experience as one. I called it colors of life. Sometimes you can see this color of expression and art on most of my 3d models that i design. It looks awesome! Just imagine the design and color i put on soon to be new models the: "EXAGE CD 20.0 XL-AM".

TRUE FACT!: how your girlfriend or boy friend looked like in next 30 years?

Here the most interesting true fact that we shouldn't ignore and atleast its accuracy is 99% very true and very discriminating fact.

I was flipping my friends family album looking at their grand father, grand mother, father mother, papa, mama boy and girl from the same family generation. My friend was handsome indeed. Lots of girl like him a lot. But when i look at his daddy from the young age to his 50's he looks much more deteriorated....become so unhandsome...same apply to other...opppss sorry i couldn't help it. Much infact he is bald, plus physically less muscular and his previous generation also bald and very similar facial deterioration in contract and constantly inherit looks from great great grand papa and grand mama. This is genetic inheritance! I've studied medical before i jump into Information Technology Field and also learn facial bone-ning in 3D. I concluded that:

"The best was to know how your boyfriend or girl friend looked like in the next 20 or 30 year is just buy looking at his papa and mama". Don't judge them too early by their young age complexion. We cannot hide our genetic inheritance made by god. This can be the most discriminating fact but it does save your marriage if you consider to much of beautiful family investment. Everyone should don't waste time putting cosmetic cement on their face or their body, don't hide genetic. Be proud of who you are. Well thank god i still looked cool in the next 40 year to come...hee..hee..

Part1: GT car test drive - country side.

We just had test tuning and racing. I'm test out some tuned X3-SIXTY car againts NEMIXIS. At the same time i test out how my X3-SIXTY perform against its big brother NEMIXIS as i'm going to transfer some tuned *.TRK performance file into upcoming "EXAGE" models which currently in progress building. The results it turn out that short body configuration wouldn't fit on EXAGE because it spins a lot instead should adopt NEMIXIS long body configuration. I hope i could finish building EXAGE models before end of this month or at best before mid month.

Tough life no thanks to freeloader! wut an ass kinda people.

Life can be so hard sometimes, when you try to earn something through hard work, effort and sweats suddenly a theif just jump behind you and grab stash of hard earn bread that was meant for your family meal. You work hard and you earn it. But there are times someone out there trying the get more from you without any respect or disregards ones effort or hardship he or she has been through making something to earn something. There are two type of people live in this world. Responsible people and irresponsible people.

Responsible people always respect people hardship and effort. If he wants it then he should pay for that guy hardship. Its also a symbol of respect or exchanging honour with those who wish to exchange product or services. "When a person make something from a noble ideas you should pay respect to the person if you wanted to earn part of his work. He knows nothing is free in life, you have to earn it".

Irresponsible people however take things for granted. Never respect people hardship. In his or her world everthing is free even if he or she is rich and wouldn't pay a single dime for people's sweat. For them peoples ideas is free for grab. Talk about honour and justice, these people is the most lower living being on earth.

I'm telling you this because for almost 8 years doing design and modelling or graphics some people belong to this bad egg category. They just want stuff for free. They just want to make people suffer and laugh away with peoples hard earn bread who worked for it. This theif roams freely on our earth. Rich people but also a theif. Everytime i open an email i always receive a request that was too costly to accept and its just too heavy to carry out for free. I hate this people. Always wanted free stuff. What goes in their mind huh? Asking a Ferrari and then seconds it just fell into their arms from the sky?? This people are just butt ugly free loader. At least show some respect not just run away with people's work.

"Yeah right like i have time for you!" "what do you got ass wipe?" Get a life!

Monster NSX!

Look what i found inside my old dusty treasure chest, lol. Its monster 1/28 chassis with empty slots for RX, servo and motors. I might plan to put unused KYOSHO RX board, servo and TAMIYA Atomic tuned motor on this monster powered by NANDA 1000mAh 6V battery soon for Saturday off-road hi-rev. Since i didn't have any suitable body shell i'm going to use XMODS's. My friend invited me for rock crawling but i'm going to do so high jumping big air time. Hope the chassis could handle 20 meter drop.

Hey look what i found at clearance sale! XMODS!

Highly addictive to mini's and irresistable bargain from local r/c shop i manage to grab the first generation X-MOD and the best part is that i only have to pay less than half the price. Awesome bargain! XMODS whose previous distributor was Radio Shack and manufactured by HPI Racing made this 1/28 complex beauty which meant rival to KYOSHO MINI-Z but XMODS left too far due away from professional R/C status to its "TOY" level quality and not close to real R/C racing performance. But hence its chassis built was interesting enough to catch attention to avarage mini-z collector. It has very complex built with independent wishbone suspension, soft dampers, 4WD, servos, sealed differential, interesting driveshafts and moddable body kits, I also came in a carrying case stuffed with tools and useful parts for tweaking on the fly. Being labeled as CHEAP version of 1/28 scale as mentioned across the internet it still holds interesting value to me as it can be easily mod of fused its chassis to high performance KYOSHO electronics or just port KYOSHO's MINI-Z parts onto the base chasis of an XMOD for independent and cheap source of 4WD mainframe. Its nice to have one.

Night out.

There are times when its get really boring being at home after came back from work, its nice to be with friend hanging out at night for light drinks and have a few laugh about all times. What's on our table topic of disccussion today are mostly about sports and outdoor activity. We are the outdoor guys. :D

How to enjoy life at the office.

There are times life can be bored at the workplace especially, 80% of our life spent most working out butt for employer. Time really harsh but if you know how to enjoy working in the office your life could be almost lively, its life being at home. As for me time always by my side. Working hours = work, lunch time/ break time -play/entertainment. Seriously stress can kill you. As always i bring my toys to my workplace and play behind the parking lot and make use of the breaktme with usefull activity.

Happy sunday on rc!

I've met Ian today for him to handover my purchase on mini-z collection. I finally got special NSX KYOSHO 1st generation chasis (MR01s) with hop up handling parts and performance wheelsets. Plus some additional accessories to feed my IWAVER MR02 worn out parts. Today i brought out three R/C to the local carpark for test drive at 5pm and finish at 8pm. NRX-18 NANDA doesn't satisfied my fun as the battery drain very fast in less than 15 minutes. However two mini-z manage to keep the fun for more than 30 minutes and didn't get over heated over ESC parts after long endurance sprint. Besides smaller car took more public head turns than bigger brother. I have great time today. so happy that i almost forgot some client project and finish up my 3d model work which i have to settle this week. Ok time to catch up some side income stuff, lol :D

Yes! Its fixed!! ready to run!

Thanks to Mr Foo the NRX-18 is fixed, ESC board cleaned,servo mechanism replaced with new ones (added cost) plus place permanent screw to the servo hub to avoid slippage. He manage to fine tune the speed and now it runs super fast! and feels like new. Hopefully tomorrow i'll bring out mini-z and NRX-18 for field action.

Unlucky day!

Saturday is the most unlucky day for me this month, hopefully only today because what i purchase yesterday gone flunky today. A costly flunk. Without any warranty my newly bought R/C car went hay wire and with broken servo after simple drive around the cargo compund behind the office, hit by water and impact?..i doubt so but can't help just let it be...arrrrr!!. Gladly the electronics didn't fried but the servo broken and costly repair. I just got profit building models but now it just suck up and drain my pocket one more time.. I hope this will be last after i get quick charger adapter and Lipo battery and its over for that hobby. Right now the car sent over to the shop for repair while i'm going outdoor mountain biking through local trails while waiting for him to finish up the maintenance. Later tonight went for a visit again.

Woohooo!! got me NRX-18 RC scale 1/18!

Finally i manage to get my hands on special 1/18 R/C models designed by Mr. HIROSAKA manufactured by NANDA Racing (www.nandaracing.com). After i finish several 3d design project last week i manage to receive payment from the client, small portion of the profit used to purchase my favorite R/C car from local store at FOO Brothers R/C shop. Low slung chassis, 4wd transmission, durable high impact main frame,fast and much better than my mini-z. This month i wanted to try out several test and play around before further purchasing accessories and hop-up. Hopefully this one can mount the fun during my boring times. Hoping to tune it max above 100km/h with Lipo battery and hot motors.

Anyways despite having fun i need to devided my time for special project given by customer. Looks like more fund coming in! Yeah time to top up my hobby!

Surface normalisation and breakage inspection.

Uhhh, this is tough, after inspecting the body works i realised after surface normalisation process i detect several broken face/vertices along the way which may affect the quality of body render and texturing. I have to break apart every peice of body meshes according to required area of vertex shading to reconnect each vertices to make each intended faces smooth again.
After several fix and duplicate the right side of the body meshes its time for render and texture coating. Right now i aplly first layer just like how you spray paint coating on real car in the garage/workshop. This is where my photopaint do the job. A heavy job.

Texturing and UV mapping , the wheels finally looks alive!

Ahhh!! check this out. Its done! Fresh from the oven. The rendering, texturing and UV mapping process of texture have completed for the wheel itself. Didn't take that long. Corel and Z-modeler tools always the best choice. It looks awesome! As usual the wheels looks realistic as usual. Handy work hee hee.. Well i guess thats it for today. I'll continue with the body texturing and rendering tomorrow.

New FIREX DS8-XL wheel - phase 2 construct

Ok, its done, fresh mesh with new flange styling for my new concept muscle car wheels. First glance it looks pretty much retro in concept with thick tyres and robust pindle offset but thats how it should blend with the retro looks of the car. I've tried several wheels size, tyre profile size and variable center offset but i decided to choose this spec. This design give a special feeling to retro lover and viewer. It has this muscle thing, hot wheel taste, like looking at Diecast car or toys adored by big boys. Thick drag tyre means business and always a symbol of powerful acceleration and phat factor. It took me 5 hours and extensive brain power to get the wheel right and match the car looks. As planned this wheel model will be called as: "FIREX DS8-XL"
I think thats about it for 3d building task, yay! Finally i can go to next phase: Rendering and texturing. This is my favorite part where this car go *Bling!. But it takes top notch hardware to do that. Yes, its time to pump up the power of Nvidia graphic card. First will render the wheel texturing. Lets go!

Clear your mind. keep it simple. ,,,auuuumm,,,aummmm

I like simple things, not messy ones, easy to the eyes and stuff, not to much crowd and less fuzz infront of me. When everything is clear so as your mind. At my work place even if i have to much task i always keep documents on my table as minimal as i can, or best eliminated from my table or keep stuff under the desk because messy document on the table could messed up a person mind or stress up.
If your table is clean, simple and less crowded you can feel more relax, felt at home and make work more enjoyable....ah plus music to your ears. I never write memos, i just open up ears and store those info into my brain. That save up paper and the industry doesn't waste chopping woods for paper. So i just saved the forest, lol :D

No more six flange wheelsets, just new ones.

3 months ago we have six flange wheel style, 1 month ago again we have few sets of six flange wheel style. But this time i won't be making that style it just too much duplicate work. So i'm planing to scratch one with clasical retro style CNC holed wheels just like the ones you see in drag car in the 80's. Sort of Lamborghini Countach feeling on it you know what i meant? Ok, here we got pieces of basic wheel layout which i used to make constantly through each set of models. So lets the build starts here.

Your world crumbles down because of mobile phones?

Check this article "Britons get stressed without mobile phones: survey": http://news.sg.msn.com/lifestyle/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1319032
What in the world happening to these people, in the 80's we dun need mobile phones, why you need to panic about, jeezzzz!. Its just a broken communication problem. Nothing is life threatning without it. Anyways mobiles phone are bad for health and brain. I meant when people call it can be good and bad news, mostly bad because everytime they call it just add extra work and stress thinking about his or her request. "Hey!, help me buy tofu! will ya" or "My car stuck! help!". Awww!.. and extra day of work added into your inventory. I like the fax machine theory. Leave the message, i'll reply later....i learn that from my cats. Everyday i don't bother bring mobiles on my pocket. I always bring my PSP in my pocket. Its save you from social nagging from annoying people, just bringing PSP (playstation portable) means happiness and fun everywhere you go. Taking phone with you its like carrying radiation of plutonium in your pocket and when it get closer to your flesh it just decreasing your health life span. I rather meet the guys in person and talk, but not talking to a hot fried toaster in my ear. PSP rocks. That's a fact.

Episode continue! GTR style aero base panel. Installation phase...awww!!

I almost forgot to install these base plated under "EXAGE" models. Most user familiar with this meshes as it can be found a lot on most of my models that i've created. Now i'm using it back on this muscle car just for the sake of cover up the internal guts showing under the carriage. Along the way i also decided to reuse "X3-SIXTY"/"NEMIXIS" ventilated air duct disc brake because full stock axle was to much of polies. And again 8 piston disc brake caliper meshes will be use on "EXAGE".
