So what are we gonna talk about today?
Well its an odd week as in I actually have stuff to do, and not for myself for once! But as usual I'm sat here instead writing this, instead of actually getting on with what I should be doing. Terrible habit that , yet one I excel at. Though if it counts I am also sat inworld on a build... yah know the one I should be doing, okay that so doesn't count does it. Umm I guess I'm going to talk about some stuff I have been thinking about for quite sometime but never quite got round to doing. Also excuse all the random pics in this one, seeing as I have not done anything new, you can have randoms off my HD. Which are umm all of me... LOL wow I feel so conceited.
Okay so firstly.... SL machinima . Yes I know it makes me scream too, I mean the thought of me doing one is absolutely hilarious, however there is a back story to this. So when I was making the void I had a visit from a friend who makes great machinima. He has kindly done a couple of my sims including the one I linked to on.... I cant remember the title of the blog lol. It was the one I was bitching about disasters on.. The end of the world!!! See my brain does work eventually.. anyhoo back to the point. So yes! he came over when I was putting the sim together and we talked about filming it when it was done. I can't recall exactly how it came up but it went along the lines of any idiot can make a decent quality machinima. I laughed and said yeah... I couldn't do it, it would be terrible! So it was agreed that when the sim was done I would make one to prove a point that no, actually idiots cannot make a decent machinima . He probably thinks I forgot about that conversation by now. But I am a woman of my word.... mostly ( unless its what time I will go to bed) so I shall do it and do it badly no doubt. Then when I am done I'll post it up here as proof of .. A). I did it and B). idiots cannot do it .
Secondly this is something I came across by accident, then wanted to explore further... but didn't. I was doing a series of mini scenes a while back. They were tiny ones in skyboxes as kind of a backdrop the reason why I was doing this is not important. Anyway I discovered you can make a kind of micro world that when photographed appears to be part of a much larger world. Yes not ground breaking I know but its kinda fun to play with. I mean getting a 20x20 box to look and feel like a vast open space without crappy scenic back textures is.. well I'm not sure what it is but I had loads of fun with it. I did test out the same principle on a full sim. It was split into sections and each completely different to the one next to it. The challenge was to blend each section enough for it not to look just odd, yet keep it so when your back was turned to the previous section it was like you were on a whole different sim. Sadly I didn't get that far with this as that was when I was sent off to get cut up in surgery.
But this is one thing I really want to go back to and play with some more as it actually excited me with the possibilities. I guess both aspects the full sim and the tiny box, as both hold different challenges, but when it works... well its amazing. So yeah I shall go back to this after I have finished my current list of things I said yes to lol. We'll save the ill fated machinima till later... MUCH later lol... maybe I don't know we shall see what I feel like first. However don't hold your breath on either as I have atleast one more surgery to get done soon. I'm like the bloody surgical queen this year.... I should start ebaying off parts of my body , gotta be worth a high price :D
So yup that's the plan... we shall see how it goes and I'm sure I'll have plenty more crap to talk about in the meantime.
As always ...
Storm.
One last thing because I'm a child and did laugh and we all know I like umm....... country boys
