Be careful when Baking textures with MAX!
Because if you do it with an unsaved scene and you forgot to setup the UVmap you won't be able to cancel the process... the only solution will be to shutdown MAX, but, oh way, unsaved scene...

It's boring... why Autodesk why?!

...

This will take forever....

The worst thing is that the loading bar doesn't show the progress... it's empty...

... uhm... yeah, make sure this doesn't happen to you, ... befor render to texture always do a low quality one so you see everything is in place (i'm talking to myself right now...  I say that to me every time but I never do it... )...


Anyone wants an oreo? I got some spare... a gum maybe? oh, those new orbit packages are really cool, posh as a tobacco packet! it even have a metalic-ish stripe in between gums :)

...

I glad i have my tangle around :) Uhm... Thanks good I have those nice Alkama mixes that I can't tell you about ;) ... .... I better go have lunch while things nightmare ends...

Chicken Teriyaki
anyone? nobody? ok, more for me... laters!

Apple to follow Sony strategies ;)
Their reasoning behind the shift was due to plans to continue to develop new software features and "entirely new applications" and incorporate them into the iPhone. "We want to provide many of these new features and applications at no additional charge to users."

Similarly, they stated that periodic updates and enhancements will be provided at no charge to Apple TV customers.


This sound like when Sony releases firmware updates for the PSP with new 'super cool' features so the people feel like updating the device. In the meantime, in each update they also try to patch the holes/hacks that the users find for running homebrew software or customise the device.

So, Apple: Yeah... right.... Hehehehe :)

Discovering tweener...
Not so long ago (5 months) I still was doing the easeOut animations by hand.. you know, the usual formula:

myObject._x += (finalX - myObject._x) / 20;

One day, a guy in a chat told me about those Classes for doing all this. Then I discovered MCTween, and it was all great, but for some reason, I think because it's based on prototypes, I ended up using MosesSupposes Fuse Kit classes which are less intrusive.

Then I started to worry about the filesize of my files when using MosesSupposes' one. The filesize doesn't get to big, but I'm THAT picky :) Also, the classes hasn't been ported to ActionScript 3, so I started to hate them a bit.

And finally this weekend I found out that Zé Fernando was working on a reversion of his classes and he already did an AS3 version of them.

If you need a tween class, don't look any other, you only need Tweener! :D

Thanks Zé!

xplsv to win Euskal party again?
I hope we don't! But that doesn't mean that we won't try. I don't know if shine is planing to release a prod again, I'll ask him later, but I've done a bit of a survey and seems like there isn't really too much motivation to release anything there...

Just to remind you, xplsv got the 1st prize on 2005 with Sound Pressure, and in 2006 we got 2nd and 1st with Envolvente and Tokyo, so we were even challenging against us!

This post is mainly to make you do something to stop us winning again. Right now I'm starting to have a bit of extra time every evening. We're planing to release at Assembly, but I may have enough time to release at Euskal too (altough I wouldn't be attending it...)

This also goes to non-spanish groups. And for those that are after good prizes, just so you know, Euskal prizes are even bigger than Assembly (4500€ for the 1st at demo).

So, please, do something nice, don't let us win 3 times in a row ;)

Finally my first job with Papervision3D
And the client couldn't be any other than Hi-ReS!. I can't say too much else, at some point will be finished and you'll see it somewhere :)

In my -new life- as a freelancer, this is the first time that I work as a fulltime-freelancer in the client's offices, and I have to say that it's really a good experience, it also looks like a much more productive strategy than having 4/5 clients and working from your own office, you spend quite a lot of time organising and speaking with the clients, and at the end of the day you don't do too much work. Working fulltime with a single client and also in the offices ir much more productive, you speak once a day to keep the track of the project and the rest is work work work.

I've to say that Hi-ReS! offices are also quite inspiring, mainly because you can feel the passion of the people there and how hard they work to make interesting work.

(Much) More soon...

The animated panorama in the FITC Awards 2007 page!
http://awards.fitc.ca/main/finalists/

The award is in fact for papervision3D, but I was shocked when I was browsing the list and found that they used a screenshot of one of my effects to illustrate papervision3D. Wicked! :)

You guys! Give me the money!!! ;)

Thanks for your comments
I find this quite stupid. The beauty of blogs for me is the communication that it creates. Then the rest share their own point of view, and there is a bit of discussion. It also helps for asking questions to 'the internet' and with that someone arrives to your blog and answers your question.

But thanks to those guys using zombie computers to send crap to blogs creates a problem. And doesn't matter if you use Akismet or any other service like this one, if they send you 500 comments per day, some of them will go in.

So, as I'm getting rid of some responsibilities these days, here is another one. No more comments allowed in the site, I just don't have the time and the patience of having to clean the DB.

I won't hide the comments tho, just the form.

Everyone that ever did sent a comment in this site: Thanks!

La picaresca
Hace unos dias, en una conversacion comentabamos que lo que hacia que Espanya fuese como es era la Picaresca con la que nos educan. A partir de esa educacion no es de extranyar que hayan trabajos basura, que la gente intente no tener que pagar esto y lo otro, y un sin fin de detalles mas.

Me alegro haber encontrado este video:
