Team Spirit
here's another sharing on the final project that i'm working on now..
nth much to blog bout my daily life larh, or prolly i would say my work is my life for now..LOL

this is 1 of the interior part of the museum that we used to for lighting test today, done by KaiKeat with help from lecturer. i don't know bout you, but I, definitely am happy with it. x) well done. probably could make the mood slightly cooler i guess...

this, is just a test render to see what happens if we place the character inside the interior. can be better still, i'd say..u might find the place is very empty, cz we haven place the museum props/display items inside yet.



and here, finally!! are the characters for the short animation : Little Thief, Chinese Vampire, and Dracula. mmm somehow, still feel the charcaters not "dirty" enuff...look very clean, unnatural. gotta continue working on it! n if u wonder, why are theirs hands all lifted up 90degree; it's just to make things easier for us to do in the next step, which is skeleton rigging & paintweight.

from today's progress i thought...yes, we're slower than the timeline given..but..there's something coming out already..not to say we didn't do the work...but d group still lack of sumthg.
which is Team Spirit.

I could see everyone's working on their own but not as a team. wat we do is just c each other in class, then tell them what i wanna c d next class, how i wan it to be n bla bla bla. go home, everyone do their part, then show again the next class. it's good to c everyone doin their part..but we lack of the togetherness i'd say. LOL
aside from working 2gether, we lack of OUTING together. i think the group needs this man.

recently i join few of the member for movie, makan bla bla bla..i start to understand them more..like wat kinda style they're comfortable with..and also how they see things. sad eh? as their leader for like...5months..now only i get to see all these.haha
but it's nvr too late! i guess, i need to organise some shit for the group edi..go museum ke, Ikea ke, movie ke, Lagoon ke...mana-mana larh! mesti berbonding-bonding edi LOL.
too bad, they don't drink. must intro YewJin to them d. ahahah

so..another 2months or less is our dateline. NO HOLIDAY for us T_T
dn forget to watch xD

It's Fucking Awesome!!
23rd February 2008.

1 of the day i'll not forget. Jay Chou Live in Malaysia!!!!!!! phewwwiittt
sound gay i know. ahah! i dn give a sh*t
cz he is one and only chinese singer that i'll ever listen to. he's been my idol since form3 man. wuahahah

dn u think that his songs are great? they're so different from the other many chinese songs out there. other chinese songs all just sound the same.
thru the years, and many recent albums tht he came out, i started to "not so like" him already. i even nearly decide not to go for the concert. THANK GOD, i didnt changed my mind x)

the concert was soooo awesome!
i went for the rockzone tho, together wif Belle, Ningli, Uchin, WengYan and Ning's cousin; which is the rm168 zone. went there like..3hrs earlier to queue up like a sohai with the other crazy Jay fans and it was darn hot okayy.
n really zha dou when we get into the stadium, Rockzone isn't tht rock after all. it's not packed or wat also..we're all standing comfortably with "freedom". no pushing or watsoever. but the seating zone were all full i can say.

ok, talk less. here are some shots of Jay, taken by Ivy. b4 i continue, sila memaafkan my Mandarin pin yin arh..hehe

he started of with a song from the movie, Curse of The Golden Flower (if im not mistaken) it's a "fierce" 1 tho, and then Zhui Hou De Zan Yi




when he sings Bu Neng Shuo De Mi Mi. cantek!




that's the crystal piano he broguth from Taiwan, n gosh, i fcking cant believe I actually listened to the songs that he played in his movie, Secret; LIVE!!!!the feeling is different mann...
he sang Hei Se You Mo, then An Cing (this is the song that made me like him last time) until now, I LAGI LIKE IT.



then he sang Qian Li Zhi Wai~ and of cz, some other songs..i lupa dah. then he did some good nice dancing..



Nan Quan Mama are the guest artist that day. don't really fancy/know them la. but i definitely know LARA now. wooooo! xD n can u believe, they had a Piano Battle like the one in Secret on stage. awesome-ness.




here, is the acoustic session with Nan Quan Mama. Jay talks alot during this session. i'm like a siao kia oni...i really layan all his talks man...for example,
Jay : Ni men kai xin ma???
Me (wif other crazy fans) : KAI XIN!!!!!!
Jay : Hao ting ma????
Me (wif other crazy fans) : HAO TING!!!!!!!!
u can imagine la how i am tht time. ahahahha! anyway, this session, he sang a Teresa Teng song, "Ba Wo De Ai Cing Huan Gei Wo". cantek! and then he did a cover for his song, Shuang Jie Gun. LAGI CANTEK!!



yes, he played the drums before singing his latest movie, Kungfu Dunk theme song. that Tofu tofu tofu tofu~ song. after we encore. xD



after 2nd encore, he appear with another Curse Of Golden Flower theme song, the "fuo fuo fuo fuo fuo fuo!!!" or watever...and ended the concert with the original Shuang Jie Gun~~
of cz, not to forget the amazing fireworks during his concerts. I oni have a shot on that from Ivy.

alrite, enuff of pictures. guess you actually prefer watching the video rather than seeing the pics rite??hehe

tho i only can see Jay very very very d small, but listenbing to him live is also another different thing mann ahaha

after this concert, i start to idolise him AGAIN. woo-hoo!

alright,enuff of this gayish post. x)

ow-iuh-naus-ez-gnaf-iq-in, ihs-gniy-iew-ow-iad-ia-in.

The Making?
sedang buat Dracula's modelling, n do do do, time to sleep. CANNOT sleep..
continued doing doing doing until fak man zhang d. n lost the mood.

wat im gonna show today is final project's production stage. erm..a small part of it actually..
cz there's still MORE to go.
since tak boleh tidor n no mood, i played around with wat i did just now..

1st of all, this is 1 of the character in our final project, Dracula (pls give him a name)
this is the Model Sheet, aka Orthographic Sketch where there's front,side and back views of the character
there're 3 characters in the film, 3 person will model 1 character each and I got Dracula's model sheet... SHIT.
ahaha..i like his character anyway. YAO YENG.

so i'll take the model sheet, scan it, and put it into Maya and start "tracing".
problems i faced modelling him is, the cape and the BLARDEE hairS. tu-kao-lan arh!!

and so, here's the outcome! x) it's not complete yet tho, there's are more details to be add on later..and the textures that i'm using are just simple ones..later gonna do kao kao 1, as in semi-realistic..since we're following Tim Burton's art style -_- tough...tough...
at d moment i can't guarantee we can do exactly same style, but YEAH! we'll do our best x)

after texture, then gonna put "skeletons" in him, make diff facial expressions, rigging, n when everything's done, including the background modelling+texturing, and off!! we animate. xD
then composite all scenes 2gether and add on effects that we need, render the whole blardee thingy and FINALLY--------------------SHOWTIMEEE~~ xD

Kelantan Trip

aight, my class is gonna start officially tmr, but not gonna go tho. lol

i know it's compulsary to go tmr but i got stuff to do x) sorry.

anyway, here's a lil round-up on d Kelantan Trip i went to wif my bunch of great kawans during d last few days of December 2007.

at 1st was relli malas to blog, but after reading Abby's blog, i got inspired. LOLx

n then SOME ppl's blogs like DELETED d..or ABANDONED d..

so, aiya, duwan let Abs blog alone larrrr...haha

so there's Abby's version, and here is My version. i hope to c Ning's version, Uchin's version, Ivy's version

k, if u'd read Abby's blog, im sure she said something bout TRAGIC and "ASK NG CHEE KIN" yea? haha!! here goes.

it all started with a click. LOL i'm gonna make this short ya

i did the booking for train to Kelantan. n it says depart at 2030 (24hours system)

and God knows HOW, i went n tell everyone the train departs at 10.30PM.

how? i bodoh lor...DUNGU lor...yaya...WATEVER!!!!! LOLx

n luckily, there's a bus still available to Kelantan during tht tragic time. haha!

n guess wat, that bus is FUCKING AWESOME!!! ahhaha!!

the very 1st meal we had there, Nasi Lemak. AWFUL 1. yeah, EVRYTHING's AWFUL. HAM PA LANG!!!!!! haha! watery rice..urgghh...

as Abby said, the hosts for this trip is BELLEH and LALA!!! relli thanks to them this time. for driving us around and planned things nicelyy. u guys can be assistant organiser d wei. LOL

besides, i also wanna thank the host' family members for their very 5 star accomodation!!!haha! n thanks for all the meals seriously. i had xtra 1 breakfast meal tho. hahahahaha!!

basically, there's no celebration for New Year's Eve in Kelantan...we'd expected that, so we memang planned to celebrate it among ourselves x)

NO CAHAYA ALSO. ahhaa

but we really had alot of laughters, n erm...not too bad punya Teriyaki+Honey BBQ larh. ahhaa

went back to KL by train, yes, this time I c the time correctly...n we spent fcking 16hrs in the train. i'd say i've slept all over Malaysia d. the train actually went from Kelantan(north) to Johor(south) then only to KL. btw, it's an experience! for me larh.
