Christmas Day

Hello there!  It’s Christmas day (or was about 26 minutes ago,) and I find it wonderful that God would grace us with so much real love in this world: with friends, and family, and all that is good.

So, in this simple, short, and sweet post I will give you a little Christmas graphic I made up in Inkscape recently.

Merry Christmas to all!

Oh, and by the way: tomorrow I may be filming a new film that I just came up with this evening.  It will involve nature, a creek, hopefully some music, me, and a narration.  Hope you enjoy it!  We’ll see how it goes.

And for now, God bless and best wishes to all!
May you find what you are truly looking for,

With much love,

What I want to say…

What I want to say, perhaps I should not.  Deep thoughts, high ideals, but the world does not want to hear it.  Perhaps I will become more bold in the future – perhaps?  But for now I hide much of what I believe and hold dear for fear of others shunning it, shunning me.  Perhaps I will take more seriously to my private journal, telling what I have within my heart there.

We are all marvolous.  All brilliant.  I fear we will never know it, though, unless we free ourselves.  Unless we let Jesus reign in our hearts.

Anyhow, a post everyday, so here’s the post.  More tomorrow?  Perhaps.

God bless!

P.S. Day 2 of this post writing escapade.

Christmastime

It is Christmastime.  You think of snow, and bright, cheerful mornings that you can sleep in on as long as you want, and a cup of coffee waiting for you downstairs.  After all, it’s Christmastime.

Success lies behind you: six months of accomplishments, pushes, and failures.  But that’s OK, you’re making it.  The key is to never give up.

Anyhow, onto the rest of the post…

Sorry for the lack of posting here on Minosa Films.  To make up for the delinquency, here’s my first post of many (at least I hope so.)  Let’s say I’ll try to write 1 post a day, till New Years (that’s 2009.)

To catch up, here’s what I just finished working on today: my entry for the BlenderArtists Weekend Challenge #316. The theme was “The Toymaker.”  I started on December 19, 08, and posted my entry some 15 minutes prior the deadline (December 22, 08, at 1200.)  Hope you enjoy!

My entry for "The Toymaker" (BlenderArtists.org Weekend Challenge #316)

My use of the SSS (SubSurface Scattering) messed up his skin.  The poor ear and hand modeling is sad, but I really like the hat.  And the face turned out to have quite a bit of character.

The Toymaker (screenshot from Blender)

I prepared the windows in Blender to show off some different features of the Toy Maker.  Notice the awkward teeth?  🙂

You gotta love the hat (screenshot from Blender)

Like the caption says, that hat rocks.  Do I get one for Christmas?!

If you would like to see other entries and vote on who the winner should be, check out the poll thread for the challenge on Blender Artists!  (I voted for “Evil Toymaker” by fly.)

Now I better wrap things up for the evening and leave some news to report on for the next few days.  Oh, and I need to rustle up a report for BlenderNation.com…

Anyhow, God bless and goodnight!

Hey, check it out!  The “Yo Frankie!” open game project is complete and open for free download!  Go ahead and go check it out now!

Besides that I have been working on a modeling tutorial for Blender.  I really hope it turns out well.  I am modeling a character that I made, called “Snorks.”  He is a little man with a big name (his full name is long,) and is a professor at a college.  I am using this tutorial to guide me as I model him.

Anyhow, that’s some news… working on an article on 3D Arkitektur, also hoping to compose at least one song by Christmas.

God bless,
See ya later,
