Its Moday again.

Its Monday again.... huu huu.. Getting back to the office and start socializing with people that have problem around you...its the most busyiest day of the week in the office Its the time of the day where you brain split into half. 1 thinking what you should do now and 1 thinking where i plan to do for next design. Thinking always make me hungry because medical/health fact show that when you think more the blood in the brain carry more calories into you brain to feed more energy the get your brain workout with some ideas...which explain why i eat lots of chocolate without having to put extra weight. Except for today..no chocolate just a cheap lunch from office main canteen.. fried sweet sour fish, chicken and rice in a pack.

My Go!cam for PSP arrived.

Wooohooo!!! yes! my Go!cam for PSP has arrived! its was months of agonizing pain to wait for the stuff to arrive at my door step. Months ago i place order a pack of these at local retailer after its was stocked out due to selling like hot cakes to customer. Its end now, now it in my hand. "GO!Cam" or better known as "Chotto Shot" in Japanese is a portable camera add-on for PSP which turn your PSP into portable DV cam which you can take photo and record Gigs of videos! and also in comes with cool in device video editing software. The shots and video recording at almost DVD quality runs at 30fps! good stuff! Here more info at wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go!Cam

My plans was to use this cam to record my 3d work and stuff i do daily and post it at my blog right here. Plus its a good cam to record my car/trucks models in action direct on my screen. Since its mini USB attached it can be hook via extended cord cables so i can place the cam on my bike helmet and do some jungle adventure. This is rocks! Yup, its time to Youtube very soon!

Its playtime!

Spending good quality time playing PSP, hey everyone need a break after hardwork. Just got me a UMD of "Need For Speed: Carbon" and "Silent Hill Origin". I guess i'll be having a sleepless night tonight. Hope i could finish the game and back on my feet modelling some more cars, hee..hee..hee.. You know what actually its essential for me to to indulge playing more games and at the same time learn how other developer implement their 3d design into game...just look how they blend their 3d character, texturing and make it more realism especially mastering the art of 3d gaming development...which is a good thing..for your mental health. You guys should play "Silent Hill: ORIGIN"...scary!

Let me see if i can count my finger.

oh...ermm...zz....6, 7 oh no 8 wait that's not right... my brain really exhausted today. Maybe i should take a break for a while and leave the design thoughts aside. A good nap and nice soft pillows....zzzz....zzzz.

Latest stuff!: "X3-SIXTY" now ready for download!

Finally i've release standard version of "X3-SIXTY CD 14.0 XL-XRS" today, now available for download at 3 of my website:

http://www.geocities.com/SupermotoXL
http://4x4evo.net/smxl
http://www.chimpusmaximus.com/SupermotoXL

This models is so called low resolution quality due to the fact 4x4evo1 and 4x4evo2 uses standard 256 color 512x512 texture resolution size. The original models uses 1280x1280 texture resolution size. If you like the HD version of "X3-SIXTY" just wait for the release of "HD" edition made available for "CRASHDAY" game this coming week.
For now enjoy my lastest car models release at my website. Be sure to visit our Tutorial page to search on how to install the car into your 4x4evo1 and 4x4evo2 game. Also some new wheels and wallpapers too. If you have anything you wanna ask about just drop me a post at our local forum or shoutbox. Enjoy.

Good to go! Reflection problem solved!

I've manage to debug the problem on "X3-SIXTY" models yesterday, it was the "LIGHTBR" and "LIGHTBL" parts code which have a multiple layer of unwelded meshes. Results after parts isolation test to narrow down the problem works well which point out this parts were the culprit. Leaving ony one layer and few adjustment on brake light focusing inside TRK file setting finally i manage to run the car in 4x4evo2 with reflection mode on without random error of "dwwin.exe" error.
Good! Hopefully well see the launching in two days that is will be available on 10th January 2008. Watch it coming!

Annoying error!

This is getting annoying! Was it my DirectX installation problem, display driver, over poly on X3-SIXTY or something wrong with 4x4evo2 installation.

"X3-SIXTY" gettting chop off to pieces.

Its getting pretty closer to release date, there so much things to debug on both 4x4evo1 and 4x4evo2 format. Just now i decided to break clumps of around 900 vert of polyworth of per-parts into half which is somewhere around 400 vert or 700vert per-parts/each to make sure there won't be any of those game engine error shown on the screen when i set the game reflection on. I suspected that the latest DX9 graphic code wouldn't render heavily on high poly meshes in clumps of over 1000 vert per object, was maybe probably due to old game engine in 4x4evo1 and 4x4evo2 which still rely on DX8 technology. That would heavily impact on how i should manage my poly count models on my next creation. Here are summary of task that i did from yesterday until now:

1. -Breaking any parts with over 800/900 vert >> into half to tolerabe 400-700vert
2. -Improve LOD models, reduction of poly to 70%. Reduce around 9 parts to only 3 LOD parts...just necessary enough for "distance display"
3. -Remove bogus vert/de-vertex in game (Quality control over reflective effect/during shading or surface chroming)

All above task should've completed by midnight tonite so i can have more time do another test drive for suspension and traction setting tomorrow....that'll be much easy. After that its PSP time! lol.

Playtime! ........making a break with some games.

Ok, i'm really tired punching around with some debugging on my latest car models "X3-SIXTY". So idecided to take a break playing my fav game titles on PSP slim namely, Ace Combat, Silent Hill, Naruto's and some other stacks of UMD under my drawer. Relax...there's plenty of time. All work with no play make make ya bored to death. Man Silent Hill Origin is one freaky game! Actually i ask my lil bro to play and i just watch a feet away. Shouldn't have bought that titles, lol.

Happy 2008, test drive X3-SIXTY...bug and stuff

Happy New Year 2008! Whats your goal this year? As for me its the usual goal: make my design known to the world and never be satisfied for any achievement. As for this i continue string to built the best and unique car design for games and hopefully for real world. Well today i spent much of the time from morning till evening compiling and testing "X3-SIXTY" in both 4x4evo1 and Evo2 simulator. The result was not that favorable as some test fail to produce expected result test like reflection and surface shine test for this car. Break limit error on 4x4evo1 and 4x4evo2 with high reflection on still remain a problem but with reflection feature turned off it runs well without a problem. Debugging the models is under way. Unlike previous year there would be no "X-RAY" version for both 4x4evo1 and 4x4evo2 and probably won't be any version for 4x4evo1 if the test continue to produce error in this format. But don't worry 4x4evo2 format will definately be available as compulsory. If the test run successful with reflection on there would be a version model made available for CRASHDAY game. Keep your nose sniff in for next updates.

Public released for preview: X3-SIXTY

Its done, well just a little. Finally after long period of pause i decided to reveal my latest design yesterday and publish it at my website:
http://www.geocities.com/supermotoxl
http://4x4ev.net/smxl
http://www.chimpus.com/supermotoxl
Dubbed project n360 or better known as official name "X3-SIXTY" is an off spring of NEMIXIS CD 12 XGT using similar base chassis with all new frontal, rear and side design reconstructed to be more smooth and soft to every eye who view it. This year the "X3-SIXTY" matured into real sportif automobile culture. With is more smooth bold ccncept design and shorter coupe like body length and narrow bottom line body is meant to be rival to competitor of FORD GT-40. Below are summary of the current design in comparison to original base models of it big brother CD 12 XGT.

Design Spec
Official design series signature: CD 14 XRS
------------------
-Dual blade slanted headlights
-Shorter body reduce by 30% for better handling and cornering ratio
-Narrow bottom line sidewall
-Centeralised dual pipe exhaust port
-Compact cockpit
-Simple normal pivot swing door design
-Extra mini highlight headlight located below the frontal nose with rigid frontal beam
-Higher stretched hood collar
-Polycarbonate/synthetic style body shell

3d Spec
----------
-Low polygon below 45,000 poly
-Low poly count wheels but maintain smooth and round looks

For the first time i decided in 2 years absent i decided to put more striking color and simple decaling muscular paint themes which was inspired by cars like SHELBY GT-500, CAMARO 2007 and FORD GT-40 paint scheme, The wheels also built in more simpler, clean design and muscular 6 flanged wheels. The contruction took about 2 months. However, the released took longer and much delayed because along side with "X3-SIXTY" (CD 14 XRS) development was tagged along with the development and design of "SIXTY-7" (CD 16 GTR) aka GODZILLA KILLER......... which built as an opposition to main competitor to latest SKYLINE GTR R35 which took 8 months to built and expected to release this February.
2008 is the best head start to start the glorious moment of car design in SupermotoXL production department. I hope "X3-SIXTY" could shine and being top of the chart for the first phase of its initial release this early January. Other than released for 4x4evo1/evo2 i'll be looking foward to make it available in CRASHDAY sim title. Watch out for my latest released and news. Peace!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I've enjoyed my day with nice food, friends, relative and also chat around with people around me. Ah...yes i'm still cleaning up some space in the web space to make way for uploading model: X3-SIXTY. Still few MB to clean off.
Today felt a bit longer as i suddenly doze of infront of my computer with Z-modeler running on to view back my models. Looking at gray colored X3-Sixty felt like boredom looking at the same color scheme throught entire line of my 3d models. Maybe i should put yeallow banana color to match the muscle car characteristic...well still thinking about it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Finally! X3-Sixty!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!! Good things comes upon us as Jesus born on this 25th December. Yes! Merry Christmas!!! Ah... puddings, cakes, roasted beef and family gathering! Lucky me i got lots chocolates gift from the ladies today. lol :D

Also some good news is now you may able to see a glance on my latest car models "X3-Sixty"!. Its a smooth lean muscles version of rivalry FORD GT-40 competitor with AKA Gallarado version of NEMIXIS with more dynamic design and fused with today modern design. Another good news is this model have much far lower polycount and more lightweight 3d and CPU processing friendly for low spec computer when runing this model. So no more lag!. Of course there's a draw back for not having any X-RAY version of these models unlike CYBORX and NEMIXIS. Anyways its time to upload these christmas to my website. But....it will take sometime for me to clear of some extra space to deploy these model into the web server since my website space MB reached its disk space limit but i'll try my best to upload before new year 2008. Time to go to church for Christmas prayer and celebrate with family and friends! Again MERRY CHIRSTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas is coming!

Few days left before Christmas! omg! i have to pack my new models immediately. E-mail keep pouring in for question on when the new models to be release. Definately before 2008 which some where on early Christmas. On joyous Christmas and to make people happier and merrier on their PC i made several improvement to the models which includes lower polygon weight for my latest car/truck models which is CPU cycle friendly that doesn't lag and still looks good! Mark my words brother and sisters! New rides coming your way;)

Power is in my hand!

Yes! i did make the right choice!, despite some intense research, web reviews, budget calculation and mutli functionality consideraion i finally bought a mini portable media player with dv cam built in from local IT expo. Funny thing that this one looks almost like PSP. lol!

The main key feature that is usefull to me is:
-Video in/out with recordable feature. (Something i could record video clip from my PC game and windows screen)
-DV video cam at max 640x480 px/ 2MP camera (Outdoor activity)
-Big 3 inch screen for entertainment.
-Expandable SD card slot
-Long recording time.

I'm gonna strap those on my bike, on my helmet or put the cam in my pocket for daily life recording, video blogging and record adventurous moments and unexpected event that i always encounter everyday. This is great! For you people it may looks like "el cheapo" products but hey all that matters is you got a video records which tells more than what you can read. Got to put these on YouTube!

Soon happiness for you kitty...

Not everyone is so called nice guy. We just can't judge them from their beautiful cover. So this one i'm doing this on behalf of these special cats out there and let everyone know whats its like to be in their world:

Last Saturday me my buddy went to a public park in the evening for dinner. Lots of people coming in and out from the cafe table, We're sitting in the open space beside grassy garden and near by beautiful water fountains. Evening cloud was beautiul. There's a couple of cats playing around jumping and chasing each other, pouncing and playing happily in their garden,...one of them is a male Tabby cat and another is female crown spotted Calico. They were flipping around, rolling on the grass, ambush among them selve in the bushes and as playfull as 10 year old kid. The cafe owner nearby admire the cats spirit and freedom...the cats were there before cafe was open...so they were permanent resident free to enjoy and play around in the garden. People were entertained by act of these cats, the cats were also friendly, it exchange soft meowy greetings and walk around the pavement nearby the table but it doesn't distrub anyone who's having a lovely evening dinner. Its a paradise for these cats which almost been a stray and found their place as home...i've seen the cats hanging here for quite a long time since last year ago. Even dogs nearby get along with them.
An hours passed since we had dinner then came a couple of guy and gal with hope for romatic evening dinner at an open space beside us. As happy as they are they hold each other hands and share feeling with each other. Then suddenly came a friendly cat with its usual routine greet and welcomes the people with warm meow. The couple were stunned, the guy wasn't pleased at all as it scared his girlfriend..cat phobic?!?. So with its macho-ness attitude he walks to the cat and gave a big whoop kicking on the cat's belly and step hardly on the tabby cat's head as if he trying to crush the skull againts the pavement. The cat vomitted! After he's satisfied he kicked the cat aside very hard and return back to his sit, he grabbed out his cigarette and puff out some tabacco. His girlfriends was relieved, his boyfriend control macho feel while enjoying his ciggy. That poor cat crawl slowly into small corner of the flower patch try to regain conciousness as it vomit a little and another white Calico female cat with crowed spotty fur pattern saw it happen from other side of the garden and quickly jump in and run to him, she comes to console its pain by licking his head. That poor tabby cat was too traumatic to budge away from that corner but after half an hour it duck slowly from that space and went back into the garden near the cool fountain and lay down for a rest while his partner walk beside and aid him all the way. Both cats lay down on the grass, very passive, unactive, no mood to play around with its friend,,,, sometimes he looked back right at the table where the couple who hit him seated. Both cat stare at the same spot and from the expression i saw it looked very dissappointed and frustrated yet they didn't even fight back because they knew their limitation. The two cats lay down together on the grass and put their heads close together to calm each other pain and sadness...i could hear soft tones from female cat consoling its partner. Its was a pity sight for me.
As for that macho guy, looks like he was laughing all the way enjoying his evening with sinister looks and trendy hair style, having good time like nothing had happen. WTF!!! he should be ashame and should realised where he was standing.....as a guest to this park he should respect the resident(cats) who live there and being their rightfull home. His girlfriend also wasn't care much about animal feeling...wasn't that animal type of people i see. Later after they finish their dinner they went off to their luxury car and away into the darkness of the night...may heaven and hell judge them. The cats saw the couple moved away but too bad they weren't in the mood for active play time....maybe felt guilt or musshy to kick start their play time.

Some people just don't have any heart for other living being. Animal are just like people also they have feeling, love, heart passion, guilt and kindness. The only gap and barrier is their communication/language and physical limitation. Just like humans they have souls and go to heaven. When they go there they will tell stories how people treat them and that's sounds like bad news for those who did something against the animal....but for me that's is good!..that's the fact alright. If you search at http://www.wikipedia.com under 'Cat' you'll notice they(cats) exist to serve human and believe to guide our souls during after life transition. So we need to respect them not only as part of these believe but rights to live and share living space with them. I hope those people who have rotten heart and did cruel to the animal will someday received their own taste of their medicine. My heartfelt and happiness wishes to the cats and other animal who have been abused and wonder around for freedom, may they seek a place, a garden of happiness where they can called their place a safe sweet home away from unfair cruel world.

Something to taught about..

Everyday i met lots of people ranging from highly intelligent being to crappy living thing. I'll tell ya one thing they just don't know where they are standing. People who standing in real ground should know some facts of life, below are some cool basic fact about life which you ought to know:

-Don't talk crap if you don't have that crap with you.
-God made man to enjoy life...not as a slave to others on earth.
-You control you, not people control you.
-No matter how beautiful you are, at the end of the age you're dead ugly.
-Botox on Chicken? yup you ate it.
-Flying metal chair is more effctive than Kung Fu...trust me it works.
-Only brainless people joins the crowd.
-Everyone is the same regardless rich or poor, we die soon.
-God is very fair, not everyone is perfect.
-Cats always win, that's why you angry.
-Smokers always beat wife, so girls beware.
-Primitive people live longer than civilized urban people.
-There's no such things as 'DIET', you'll eventually out of shape at the end of the day. Trust me.
-'DIET'= metal pain and starvation.
-Ignore others, its your life and choices
-Money not evils, its the people behind it.
-Luxury comes in fear.
-Anything that is too passionate tends to be radical,
-Life is short, enjoy it to the max.
-Born naked die naked
-Do good because the animal will judge you soon.

So think about it, let tomorrow spark your beautiful day.

Crash and burn- reality of speed.

Its kinda fun to see some cool crash and burn when you race a car in game, virtually fun and entertaining. In comparison to reality there big differences between life and death. Yup, if you're driving a real car better keep it safe and think other on the road, there are no such thing as getting ranks, fame, glory and being popular super heroes on the road like being in NEED FOR SPEED game titles or wanna be PRO-STREET. No body cares about you on the road even you can drift a few miles unless you're on proper legal track for racing...not on public road.
Everyday i read news and came across tragic road accident, yup it comes with special package: 'Death', suprisingly most car accident death happens mostly on young driver aged between 27-20's. Today news i stumble upon gory picture of crash scene and stumble across some ultra uncensored gory crash victim...no matter how tough a LEXUS, MERCEDES, VOLVO, TOYOYA, MITSUBISHI and other brands it won't guarantee safety. People is just like an egg inside a metal box. Young driver! Ahhh... the youth adrenaline and road thriller has met their ultimate carnage of their dreams. I've driven very fast before on stock family car but at the end of the destination i sometimes question myself why did i do that for? just to get from point A to point B in unnecessary short time? Life is indeed short, too short! ...feel a temporary excitement and gone in a second.
I'd rather slow down and make sure i reach my destination safe and get to live another day enjoy playing playstation, have some nice tasty meal, chocolate, ice cream, fried chicken, travelling to another country, settle down with cute girlfriend and watch the day past by. Not putting my life on fast car on the fast lane. To be safe i'd ride my mountain bike....that's a true human powered adrenaline rush plus the real speed you can feel brushing again my face with the wind.
For that reason i never spent to much budget on cars like accessories and modification to make it *bling*...ahhh, c'mon its just a transportation going from one destination to another. Too much crimes, death, mental and social problem associated with cars....it also kill our greeny earth with its toxic fumes. If you're stuck in the traffic because you're in a car because you want it, keep the migraine up.
Oh yeah for the things i do on 3d car design, its passion. I like to design and watch em going on the road, I like to watch people drive and enjoy my design. That's all to it. Going from point A to B...its my mountain bike. hee...hee.

Another clean wheel design for "Sixty-7"

Out of boredom i pick up my mouse click and run few 3d works task this morning, unsatisfied with Sixty-7 wheelsets i decided to build a more luxury version of Sedan style wheels. Inspired by narrow fingernail shaped flange i made 2 type of wheels to suits the car styling. (a)-6 flange sport, (b)-12 flange deluxe elite style. Finally i realised i made a simple clean design without having some *bling *bling billet lug nuts around the rims and single locknut on the hub center. Overall it was a satisfying design with no regrets. Tomorrow i'm going to deploy on "Sixty-7" and see which wheels design suits best among two, Hee hee,, Sunday activity well spent!...very glad!

Make it looks fatter and dragster!!

Flangy wheels gone old skool? Hmmm... well i did my last minute research abour wheel design for both N360 and Sixty-7 models. After scroll through some Radio Control Car book references vs Real Car design i decided to break away from so called *bling factor of a ride such as oversized big diameter rims and low profile thin tyre. I've design a special wheels which fits well both performance and appearance on both front and rear tyre. The design suits for drag speed wheelsets and i'll put this one on N360 model. Looks wise it looks very appealing RC look alike wheel sets with smaller vent holes which looks poked dish wheels rather than 5 spoked built like we used to see on everday car or tarmac rally syle wheels. At the end of the day i don't have to worry if someone ruin my car models looks with thin wheelsset which suppose to be designed for front wheels purposely moved to the back which makes my previous model "NEMIXIS" runs on old cowboy wooden wagon wheel. Whheewww..!!!. Time for design revolution.
