My Work

Remember the good old blender :) yes.. I am still looking at blender and its' wonderful game engine. Till yesterday i was still wondering how people write complex games using such simple open source game engine. Today i realized i was wrong. The blender game engine is so complex and yet so easy to use. I was able to get my hands on some of the examples showing off the physics engine and the rendering capabilities based on GLSL shading language. The examples provided are very impressive and would instantly make anybody want to use it. Through the past few days i have been modeling a character model. With the help of some tutorials on 3Dtotal.com. It has been an amazing learning experience for me. All that seems to be left to be learned is how to provide GUI and how to show dynamic text (score, ammo, etc) on the GUI. This is plan to learn during the weekend. I would recommend all graphics lovers to go through blender examples at least once just for the viewing pleasure. Me and my fri...

Blender is a Free, Open source, Multi Platform 3D content authoring tool. It even features a game engine which i have described in my previous post . I was really exited about the possibilities for using Blender. I wanted to see if it could be used by users without any professional training about this too. So i set out on testing the character animation and modeling features provided by this tool. Fortunately for me, the blender foundation has done a great job of creating a wiki for each and every important feature of the tool as a part of the Blender Summer of Documentation (BSoD). This helped me greatly with the modeling, rigging and animating my first character. I would like to go ahead and make a small game using the stuff i learned about the game engine. Here are the two simple videos i created using blender: Character Walking Character Waving

Old Look New Look Yesterday the Windows automatic update installed ie7 on my system and hence i got a chance to use it once again after a long time. I was impressed by the elegant GUI. Some people actually hate the idea of not having a menu bar but not me :D any way.. this triggered my interest for finding out if this look could be achieved in FireFox. Removing the menu was good enough for me. I achieved this by editing the userChrome.css in the %APPDATA%\mozilla\firefox\profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\chrome directory. In this file i added the following lines. /* Disable all the menu items*/ #go-menu, #file-menu { display: none !important; } #go-menu, #edit-menu { display: none !important; } #go-menu, #go-menu { display: none !important; } #go-menu, #bookmarks-menu { display: none !important; } #go-men...
