My Work

9/10/2006 Since the last couple of days i have been trying to learn how to use Blender Game Engine. I summer of documentation sure did help me get a better documentation then ever before. In fact the pros in #gameblender envyed my luck :) The things that can be done using this seem unlimited to me. After having a look at what people have created using Blender Game Engine this seems to be the best options for startups etc. I doubt if there is any scope and market for new game companies out there but if you are eager to start off with someting.. this could be the right choice. One of my friends is going to work on a project of creating virtual worlds for interactive education for school children. The blender GE would be a really good platform to start off from. The physics which is so beautifully integrated would make the development of acceptable physical world simulations. 12/10/2006 The basic and the most important reason for my choice of giving up writing my own game engine is the f...

My current game is warhammer, i've been waiting to play this game since last year. Thanks to the qa team here, i have access to this game now. Yesterday was one of the most exciting gaming days. I was playing the campaigns in the game since last two weeks and even played a couple of games against the computer. I was able to defeat the hard ai with a little difficulty. I always wanted to play all the games i know online with other people around the world rather than just our college lan. Yesterday i had the oppurtunity of going online and putting my game exp to test :) Turns out.. i really did not learn the game that well :) i won just 3 games out of 12 games i played yesterday. I guess its' common when your learning a new game :D

I've been listening to Rammsteins' songs lately. Actually only three of his songs..This is an drawing inspired by him :p doesn't quite look like him.. hey.. tis' just a cartoon.. so i guess it's ok. Rammstein's songs i like are Ichiwill, Feuer frei, Du Hast.

Gone are those days of one of the most addictive games. The extruciating pain in waiting for just half-an hour for the classes to end and the people to come back to play the game. It was like an every day ritual for me, Used to wake up at 8.30 rush to CVIT and write some pages of thesis eagerly waiting for the time to read 2.00pm. That was ilke the unspoken time of day break for any of the gamers at IIIT-H. My last few days at IIIT were more exiting than ever before, it was a long time since i had been a newbie at any of the games played at IIIT, the new batches were coming up with better and newer games for playing and it was really hard for me to catch up with them. You know i was busy with all my research work which was eating up my gaming time :( Warcraft was never a popular game in IIIT-H, but all that changed once DOTA was discovered. I for once got so hooked to the game that i did not mind being a newbie again, it was fun learning the game and playing it too. Thanks to some of t...

I was asked to create a video tutorial of how to use the tool i developed in linux. Well there are many softwares in windows which allow you to create a video of what ever is done by the user. For instance Fraps is a popular software which can be used to capture the game play as videos. But i did not know of any such software for linux. I started hunting for it and i was exited to find that i did not need a software for doing it.. I could do it myself... i found a wonderful tutorial about making a video of the screen capture . It took me only a few minutes to get my video done :) I think this would be a very useful tutorial for all those linux lovers who envied people presenting their windows tools in the form of videos. After i created a video using this method, i realized that it was too slow, actually my prof did not like the video. So i started searching for alternatives. That is when i came across tools like vnc2swf, DemoRecorder, etc. These tools work just fine if you want to re...

I wanted to draw something cute.. did not know what to put in.. well all cute things in my world have big eyes, cute shiney nose.. and are obviously fluffy.. you know like rabbits etc :D and ofcourse the generic cartoon hands .. i love these.. they are quite common in disney's cartoons.. but aah.. i've never been able to master drawing those hands.. well here is a drawing trying to depict a cute thingi :)

InkScape is an awesome editor for creating SVG images. It's almost like drawing stuff with pencil on a paper. I never really wanted to try anything other than gimp but then.. you would not be able to appreciate what you have unless you lose it :D so i gave inkscape a try. The best part of using svg representation is that there is minimal antialiasing problem. So here is a small drawing of a person with headphones :) And here is another drawing of a samurai this was quite a fast drawing.. i did take a lot of time for doing the proms though.
