CBModelPro

Found this software from blenderartist.org discussion, it's an interesting software. But I do think this is merely a repackage of kids software called "cosmic blobs", in a more professional look and ways and targeted to adults. Nevertheless, CB (from Cosmic Blobs?) Model Pro is one interesting software to play with. Very easy to learn, and very simple in design. The strong point of this software is the dynamic surface. Which means the surface will adapt on every sculpting process that users do. Thus, the user can focus 100% on modeling rather than worrying about technical aspects of their models. Think of it as pure digital clay.

It's very slow atm, considering the software is still in beta stage, and the meshes it generates are uncontrollable. So don't expect to generate an animatable model from this one. But think this way, this software can be used as "sketching tool". Model something quick, rough and dirty, export it to another software and then trace the surface with proper geometry.

I doodled with this software back then and created some interesting model. Posted on the forum, and now I check their gallery, hey whaddaya know? They put my works at the page!

These twos are just merely doodles, I was just trying to get my hands on the software. It's quite fun, and I think I created them in less than hours.

Open Universe Project


I just made a wiki on wikia novelas, called Forsaken Earth. This project is about open universe project, which you can contribute, develop, use in any way you like, aimed for the story frame for games, short movies or whatever you want.

This one have been in my head for some years, then I found wiki, so I decided to post it on wiki thought might be useful for the community.

The universe itself is all about combination of mythical creatures combined with future, in a very dark theme.

If you're interested, go and check it out at :

Frost giant updated

Well, this is it, I do think the base mesh is quite done. He don't have any toes since he'll be wearing boots anyway.

Frost Giant

I'm back helping Shards of Asgard and the leader, Mates Laurentiu assigned me to model 2 giants, frost and fire giant. He did the concept i think in just about less than an hour. "wait i'll do some quick concept *scratch... scratch*"... 15 minutes later... "here". Lol. 2 concepts. Whew. Great concept artist he is.

Here's a wip, not much and still a long way togo.BTW you can visit Shards of Asgard website at :

I also bumped on an interior project, for somekind of game cinematics, a throne room. It's not yet revealable. Still need to ask for permission. Let's just see later. Ciao!
