I have archived the latest news from my old page here. It`s just around one year, because i always deleted older news. Nevertheless, here we go.
That`s one of the benefits of WordPress now. I don`t need to cut away the news anymore to keep the page small enough.
8.3.2011 – Forum and other Problems 2
I have finally found and fixed the error in the forum. A javascript file was corrupted. Now
the BB buttons works again.
But now we have another problem. The banner advertisements are hiding the menu. The only way around is currently to hit F5 again and again until a advertisement appears that does not hide the menu.
I am working at the problem. But i cannot say how long it takes to fix this one. Sorry for the inconvenience.
2.3.2011 – New 3D Meshes
It`s in 3D Graphics / Character and Misc
A soldier in three outfits, and a pistol and a gun. The pistol is a double, because it is also in the holster of the soldier.
This one was a very time consuming task, as always when it comes to character design. But such a soldier was one of those things that i wanted to do since years. So it was worth the work. Have fun with it 🙂
The forum is back online. But i wasn`t able to fix the error that caused all the trouble. The BB code buttons are still disfunctional. Inserting the BB code by hand works though.
28.2.2011 – Forum Problems
The forum is currently down
I found out that one of the last updates seems to have damaged something. Inserting BB codes stopped working. While trying to figure out where this one comes from i have shot down the forum it seems. Reuploading the backup failed. Seems that i have to reinstall PHPBB3. Nasty!
Even nastier is that i probably have deleted some vital files. The data of the page and the forum are save, i never work without backup. I am just not this sure if still everything is online 🙂
I have unfortunately no clue how long it takes until everything is back working as thought. Sorry for the inconvenience.
28.1.2011 – New Textures

It`s in Games + Apps
Parcel GT has finally got some more bug fixes and a few small reconstructions. I hope i have catched them all now. I cannot find any more bugs or quirks, and declare the current version to the full version. I will release a point upgrade then in case there should some more bugs appear.

30.8.2010 – New 3D Mesh – Rudi
It`s in 3D Graphics – Character
Rudi. A sack race sportsman. It is made of several parts. Eyes, teeth and bag are separate pieces. It is easier to rig that way. And i doubt anyways that somebody except me really needs the bag. It is nevertheless included 🙂
This character is also the point where i finally migrate to Blender 2.5. At least for the parts where Blender is the better app. The bones system is such a part. Finally a really working solution. Even when it`s a bit hard to rig and to animate. I also quarrel a bit with the Blender internal render engine. No GI yet. But it could be worse 🙂
And i have found a new hobby. Writing Blender Bug reports, hehe 🙂

It`s in Tutorials.
I am still at learning the basics of Unity. And this will last a while. This hasn`t stopped me from making a first tutorial for Unity. The tutorial covers the Projector Blob Shadows. There`s quite a few things you need to take into account until they do what they should.
The tutorial comes as a flash video. Which is another new thing at my page. I hope you like it 🙂

Samuel has pointed me to some wrong working links. Affected was some stuff in the 3D Graphics / Misc section, and the leaf textures in the Texture section. Many thanks for the report. Should be fixed now 🙂

Further roadmap: on with learning Unity. I still plan to do a 3D game in the future 🙂

What`s 3d withouth textures? Correct. That`s why i have prepared and collected my self-made/self-pictured textures, and opened a new category for it. It can be found in 3D graphics.

27.1.2010 – Forum maintenance
The work is nearly done. The move to PHPBB3 was successful, and the new forum is online. I have, while at it, also corrected some old mistakes. The number of categories has shrinked a bit.
The link to the forum has changed. You should change your bookmarks in case you had bookmarked the forum
EDIT, Forum removed.
The old forum is still available, the categories are closed though. And the old forum will disappear within a short time period. I just keep it online as a last backup until eveything is finally resolved and can`t go wrong anymore.
26.1.2010 – Forum maintenance
I have decided to upgrade my forum software from PHPBB2 to PHPBB3 because of Spambot problems. The old PHPBB2, which i currently use, is out of development since eons, and so there is no way to make it secure again.
I have switched the forum into a read only modus until the conversion is done. I keep my fingers crossed that everything works as thought …
