This is the second part of a tutorial where I show how you can use zBrush's primitive objects (sphere, cube, plane, etc) as starting points for Sculpted Prims in Second Life. In this section I show how I use the SweepProfile shape to create a soft, realistic hat.
LL is finally updating the Havok physics engine in Second Life. Weee! I feel like newbie again. I spent many hours tinkering with the physics when I first logged into SL almost two years ago.
This new update is pretty impressive so far - still only on the beta grid tho. The speed improvements are quite noticeable, and the Sphere prim is especially intersting now that thethe .01 meter gap from the old system is gone. Spheres can actually collide and rest against other objects now.
Even for a beta test the system seems pretty stable at one point I had roughly 1,500 physics enabled boxes in a huge pile. The sim sort of hiccuped for a moment, but then went about it's business like nothing was happening. :)
Here's the first of a two part tutorial demo of how I create sculted prims in ZBrush 3. I show you each step in my work flow, from ZBrush sphere to detailed amanita mushroom sculpty. This installment covers the modelling, the next covers the texturing.
Description
"Galaxy Gulp" is a short machinima film made to illustrate different concepts and techniques for making machinima using Valve’s Source game engine. It is a comedy set in a gas station located on an asteroid in the middle of space. When making the film, we wanted to show some of the different models in action that had already been developed for previous Noesis Interactive projects. However, their diversity was so extreme that no typical setting seemed to encompass them. Thus, an environment was imagined that was detached from the standard Half-Life sphere and promoted the melding of characters, situations and realities. Many different techniques were used in creating this movie, resulting in a piece both entertaining and bizarre.

True to the motto "Make a Joyride and hear loud music" takes this realease you in a dreamly sphere of driving around. Puts under by a mix of downbeat/idm/folktronik tracks to get the right atmosphere.
I don't know what happened but the last battle got sped up...stupid program. Oh well, fits with the song XD. The first one was over Wifi. The rest was happening real-time.
Vs. Pun
This was me and Pun's first Ike vs. Sonic match and these matches will become very common between us. That Aether edgegrab I did halfway through the match was a miracle.
Vs. Rick
He's one of those combo using smashers and this was his first go around as Lucario. He didn't do so bad with him. That Aura Sphere literally went right through me!
Vs. Bunch of friends
Jigglypuff's so cute.

If my gameplay sucks, deal with it. I play for fun, though I am somewhat competitive around friends. I play how I like to play so I don't need to see stupid "you suck comments" cause they'll just be deleted.

Hello. Internet Gossip Bloggers. We are The Z-List Celebrities.
Over the years we have been watching you. Watching us. Your blog posts, showing our drunkenness, our nip slips, our public breakdowns, have caught our eye. With the rise of your blog traffic and general influence in the entertainment industry, we, The Z-List Celebrities, have decided that you must be destroyed.
For the good of your readers, for the good of society and, most of all, for the good of our failing shit-tastic careers we will systematically expel your blogs from the internet and dismantle your growing sphere of influence.
No longer will we be your birthday sluts.
No longer will TMZ's cameras ambush us outside restaurants.
No longer will you draw cocks on our faces.

Principal Low Wong Fook has launched the Designing The Low Wong Fook Challenge Trophy project on October 18th by placing his first magical touch on the interactive touch foil at the Main Library.
For five days, several thousands of staff and students have immersed themselves in the experience of designing the Low Wong Fook Challenge Trophy.
The trophy itself has evolved from a sphere to a multitude of permutations -- a clear testament to the power of the Prosumer and User Generated Content.
On behalf of Principal Low, the Centre for Experience Design would like to thank everyone who has shared his or her midas touch in this experience.
This trophy will be presented by Mr Low himself at The IDEA Challenge 2007 on December 7th.

What ARE these white spheres? This is yet another sphere that DEFIED the wind direction and seemed to hide / hover in the clouds. The clouds were moving to the NORTH at 13 mph (I verified the weather conditions right after sighting) I also verified that this was NOT the ISS or any satellite in this area via Heavens-Above web site.
More about this sighting (and others) here:

**Are these OUR technology, or from else where, or BOTH?**
Well, I actually downloaded it at http://www.atlus.com/odinsphere/ It's a good game!! good storylines and as well as graphically perfect characters. enjoy..
This is snap shot stills taken from my 21 minute video of a White / Silver Sphere that hovered over our area in SE Portland, Oregon for over 25 minutes on August 17, 2007. I made this video to ADD MUSIC because I cuss a few times on the original video.
Watch this WITHOUT the music here:

PLEASE REVIEW COMPLETE DETAILS about this sighting along with the Original Video (Warning!! : I cuss on the video.. sorry about that )found here : http://sitekreator.com/CindyPDX/white_sphere_watched_for_over_25_minutes_.html **What are these spheres? What are they observing and WHY? Are these OURS, or NOT of this Earth, or BOTH? **

A soap bubble is a very thin film of soap water that forms a sphere with an iridescent surface. Soap bubbles usually last for only a few moments and then burst either on their own or on contact with another object. They are often used as a children's plaything, but their usage in artistic performances shows that they can be fascinating for adults too. Soap bubbles can help to solve complex mathematical problems of space, as they will always find the smallest surface area between points or edges.The bubble's 'skin' consists of a thin layer of water trapped between two layers of molecules, often soap. The surfactant possesses hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails. The hydrophilic heads are attracted to the thin water layer and keep the bubble intact. When the hydrophobic tails are disturbed, the bubble pops. It may also burst when it hits a surface.

THE PRACTICAL MAN
In the Encyclopaedia of the Seerah a scholar Afzalur Rahman states that the Prophet (S) of Islam led a comprehensive and a perfect life. He was a married man, had children and in this sphere of life he left unique principles of human relations between husbands and wives and between parents and children. He further states that the Prophet (S) was a trader and in business transactions and the economic field he gave unparalled ideas for the establishment of a balanced and exemplary economic system for the benefit of humankind.
The Prophet (S) as an ideal man and in the light of his speech (Hadith) and action (Sunnah) provided a perfect example for humankind in every area of human endeavour. His teachings have been documented in detail and serves as a moral quality which has been adopted as a way of life which must be put into practice as a salvation for humankind.
Final Fantasy X-2 takes place two years after the defeat of Sin, when the world is in a transitional healing period. Much of the damage has already been repaired, as evidenced by the newly-rebuilt town of Kilika. Old beliefs have started to die, too. Since the fall of the Yevon religion, Machina (technology) is no longer reviled, and the world is undergoing a technological revolution. Groups called sphere hunters roam the land in search of the most powerful sphere artifacts, and one such clan even travels by airship. But among all of these changes, Yuna remains unhappy. It's only when Rikku brings her a troubling vision of an imprisoned man (ostensibly Tidus) that she decides on a course of action: to find out Tidus' fate once and for all, in an attempt to achieve some closure.

People give different meanings to this composition. I created it as a conceptual videoart piece visualizing the infinite inside the infinite. The infinite concept of sphere composed by finite cubes... everything inside a reflecting cube... which may be part of another sphere...
