Unlimited Escapism 00 is out!

It's here! And Baron is already getting trolls! Yee haw!

Now for something completely different...




Unfortunately, the model edit is very finicky and only looks good from certain angles- this is due mostly to a) polygons with no inner surface and b) the skirt and the upper thighs sharing the same UVs.

Still fun.

UE0 is up!

I'm too busy downloading it to go into detail, though I imagine that we will have Baron's wall of text he promised on the making of soon. Will update when the Warcraftmovies link goes live.

« petite Nikita »

I hadn't really understood how huge a fanbase BasonSoosdon had until I saw that the trailer for his movie has 17k downloads on Warcraftmovies.com... Which is more people than I can say ever saw anything even associated with me before.




Speaking of WCM, take a look! See anyone familiar?




And in addition, now he's gotten onto the Blizz community page in yet another country(that's, what? Three, four?) today. And my rendering came along for the ride^_^

See anyone familiar?
Wow, my artwork now graces the front page of WoW Europe's French community spotlight... in French. I cannot speak french, but I've been given a rough translation by my friend Jordanis:

"Benefiting from an always-startling photography, one also notes the presence of a frenchman in the casting, Olibith. True to his reputation, he is here chased by charming damsels. Certainly, the Baron merits his noble titles and continues to opt for his unexpected but continually impressive mixtures: the "Little Nikita" overwhelms the whole of Gnomeregan."

I like the nickname they gave her a lot more than what Baron calls her, so I think I'll stick with Petite Nikita.

Congratulations to Baron Soosdon for getting on there, and for graciously offering to share his well earned French ladies! Also, grats to Olibith for the mention!

Unlimited Escapism 00: Shock Your Senses

Over 26 hours of rendering, but my clip for UE is finished! It will probably look pretty different in the movie itself, since I didn't do any retiming, motion blur, or color correction.



Make sure to check out the Stage6 full quality version- I spent a day rendering it to HD, so...



And be sure to look for an exclusive sneak peek at a future project at the end of UE!

#machinima

Well, I've been interested in machinima and model editing in WoW for some time. After posting some work of mine on wow.dev, I was invited to #machinima- and was a bit startled to get such a warm reception.

Also surprising is that it looks like I'll be making my machinima debut in Baron Soosdon's upcoming Unlimited Escapism 00.


Here's a shot from the 10 second clip I whipped up today for it. Rendering it made my laptop sweat blood, but I think it was worth it.

Pinkhair SMASH!

My second custom weapon. It doesn't work perfectly, but it amuses me nigh endlessly anyway.


For those of you who are somehow unfamiliar with the only good thing that came of Marvel's Incredible Hulk movie:

Model Editing: Sword

After much trial and error, mostly error, I managed to import a completely new mesh as a weapon into wow. The model itself is nothing special, and the texture sucks, but it works.
