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!

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.

Sneek Peek! NX-360..the shadowy vision

Its end of the month! Finally i come out with public sneak peek preview of new car for an anonymous game else would be 4x4evo1/2 models at my website (http://www.geocities.com/SupermotoXL). Was suppose to release immediately after shadowy preview but after checking out at final quality touch up on the models i notice there was a UV Mapping error on texture on top of the models back roof and cracky vertices which spoil the vertex shading on the car nose. Was not a big deal to fix it but that would steal my time since i'm busy working on my project which assigned by my boss from he office. Was really a busy day this month but i try to keep myself at easy happy and reduce as much tension as possible. Plus i have a tooth ache...a pinch of salty food could spoil my toothy day. hhhrrrrmmmm......man i miss that Cadbury Chocolate.

Yeah!...FLATOUT 2!



Wooohooo!...yeah finally i get my hands on FLATOUT 2! ha ha.. very funny, yeah i know why a year later i could get hold of the game..because its like hmmm...err.. budget was on par and found perfect time to play games and stuff.
On the first day i've spent 5 hours driving and bashing with other cars, some street, derby and races. Graphics was top notch! go thing 7600GT was alive enough to generate stuning graphic. After futher thinking i would probably put my models for FLATOUT 2. So i have two games to create models for: 4x4evo2 and FLATOUT 2. Tonite i'm going behind the joystick again and bash more cars!

Adventure returns!

Another great adventure day is here again, Sunday is always a golden holiday for me. The beach, blue sky, green nature and windy breezy wind...umm yeah some coconuts! Well last Sunday me and a group of friends went out riding on out mountain bikes out into the Borneo Forest in the outskirt of Miri City, a few miles away from hustle bustle of busy cities. We started our journey from the beach. Landed at 3.30pm and on the move by 3.50pm toward front end of local beach villages along the seaside. From there we penetrate through into the forest. Thick bushes, narrow trails and cracky soils and roots all are an exciting challenges pounced onto our physical strength. A few miles in the forest i was having a tyre puncture, the whole pack move on leaving me behind and a friend to accompany me while i'm fixing the tyre. A few minutes later me and my buddy on the move through the grassy fields backdropped with beautifully hilly scenery...too bad we have to endure some muddy pot holes. Around us looks like some African savana trails with that trees around us look alike ones. The pack that move ahead of us was not in our sights and way too fasr to reach since they all gone into dark narrow twisty forests. But we manage to zig zag in the jungle since we've been here couples of time without worries of getting lost. We reached a small river where we have to hike up our bike over it, then passes some mangroove of Jackfruits trees..there too many over grown fruit fell down lay wasted and smell very strong too, After zig zagging for few hours both of us manage to reunite wit the rest of the cycling pack at the intersection of a path in the middle of local villages. So we continue to south direction towards hilly area and going down into cracky soily trails which leads to Borneo Lambir National Park.
.......and so we ride and ride and ride and ride and ride......few hours later we turn back after found a dead end where big trees and unpaved trails blocking our route to designated destination. At 6.30pm we turm around and head back home on reverse direction. This time we sprint all the way to the finishing point. Its win win situation to see who reached to the finishing line which is where we parked our cars. I hammered my bike really hard and whipped at 57Km/h speed. Later i ended at 4th place! not bad at all. 30 minutes later the whole rides manage to gather around and pop-up some cold iced isotonic drinks. Its was sunset, we sat around facing the beach scenery looking at sundown turn romantic orange...it was beautiful! After a few chat and laugh we head back home....ahhhhh!!!! time not wasted...i love my life, life well spent enjoying whats surround us.

Spooky encounter? or something else?

Well today i went up to Canada hill after office hours at 5.30pm...its a hill located in the city..don't know why we call it "Canada" hill. So i went up there on my mountain bike and hoping to get there and take picture of the city from wide clear view above..its pretty windy and the weather is gloomy..was about to rain with little drizzle. I tooks a few shots on the city horizon, ride around for fun and then return back home by dawn.


Reached home, took out all those photo into my PC. View through the picture and suddenly spot an odd looking photo which i felt uneasy because i don't think it was suppose to be there. A dark shadowy figure at torso level..doen't seems to be part of the nature backdrops...hhmmm. A ghost? paranormal entity or something natural that i misinterpret or maybe just a blurry light branches of a tree, But my heart instinct felt the other way around. Spooky? you judge it.

The sky so blue!


Blue! Color of peace... I'm really glad and lucky enough to realised that i was born to live freely under the sky and have freedom to wonder around and enjoy the beauty which few people didn't notice what they haved missed. I went outside the office during lunch time and took a nice shots of Nimbus cloud formation. It was beautiful creamy puffy white backdropped with bright blue color. In my heart i was very excited to see it and dream to wonder around the land below the bright blue sky. It makes me want to bring out my bike and ride!.....taste the breezy wind blew around my body, pass by green white cotton grass and over looks the horizon of vast sea and mountains....usually i experince it on every Saturday and Sunday noon...ride out of the city and into the wild country side.

When i was young me and my friend used to cycle along the beach at noon, the sound of wavy sea, the sound of wind twirl in my ear, trees and green grass sways as we pass by. The bright sunshine sparkle the sea water into bright crystal like glass and reflect blueish sky above. It was a breath taking scene! We always go up into the hill and lay down on the grass for hours staring at the oceans and up in the sky. My mind was at peace, empty but filled with unexplained happiness...no more worried about school, homeworks, anger, frustration, headache, worries, video games, moneys, materialism or anything that bothers our mind. Strange.... just by looking up into huge space of emptyness by bright blue sky..... minds wonders so freely... thought why? ...but dunno what in my mind.... its all beautiful. Ever since then i was tempted to go outdoors seeking peace and happiness with my trusty companion..a mountain bike.

Fear nothing...travel miles away from home seeking for a perfect place to set free my mind, thinking one day i may find Utopia or Heaven's garden. Heee...heee... sometimes it really helps to develop positive creativity minds and build more innovative imagination by just wondering out there doing your own version of epic adventure for a day.

New little brother code: NX-360

Today i'm pretty proud and happy to be back behind my pc and work out final touch on my newly created models going to roll out hopefully by end of this month. Codename: nx-360. This models will be much familiar in appearance in styling and concept but a little smaller, compact and more of Coupe sports car. Its has several fixes and upgrades from old NEMIXIS models. Still and foward cockpit syle but there's no more side skirt style of a ricer. First glance it'll look like something from FORD GT-40 genetic and dwaf like Lamborhini Gallarado size and more slanted rear end of an AUDI sports GT.
Because i refer this models as Codename: NX-360. There's no official name given until the last moment...i was kinda confuse which cool name to give this little brat, lol. This models come's in variety theme and for Touring edition it comes with phat GOOD YEAR tyre and drag race wheels set. Won't be much *bling* factor, its a race ready out of the box mad car. ...
