Blender 3D: Flandre 3D (I should stop with the lame pun)

Haven't been using Blender 3D for a while and needed to practice again. The result was Kirito's Elucidator & Dark Repulser from Sword Art Online, an Anime that's related to MMORPG. I've read the whole novel up to Volume 10 and in my opinion, it's one of the best one I've read. I'm probably being bias though, or maybe not since I did play MMORPG before. Anyway, it took be an hour to Model Elucidator and around 2 hours for Dark Repulser. Dark Repulser is much detailed compared to Elucidator that's why it took longer to model. Anyway again, you can get the Sword model HERE but you'd need to register. By the way, there are other free Blender models you could also get from there. But if you don't want to see a Blender Site with Free Models but want to GETTO DAZE the "Rare Drop" Sword then just click HERE, it's just the sword okay, not the Flandre Model... or the Car Model Below... or the Car Girl...

By the way as always:

DISCLAIMER: Aside from the rigging, I didn't make the Flandre model. It's from Teatime's Love Death 2's Touhou MOD.

You can find their website here, beware though, it's Japanese and NOT SAFE FOR WORK

Blender 3D: Info Update and Stuffs

At last! Another post after some long meaning/ful/less break! Anyway, Life Update first... well, not much to say... My speech has improved a lot, all thanks to the Speech Therapy, also, I've been doing some other businesses (USANA and other sidelines) aside from being an employee to improve my socializing skill. But mostly, been tinkering with Blender 3D for the past few months and been using it for 3D Perspective for some presentations. There's a lot of improvement that happened after I started using it some years ago and it's quite amazing as always it's hard to list the changes. As of now, I'm still trying to get used to the "Cycles" render engine. Some say it will someday replace the "Internal Render."

Touhou M-1: Yakumo Chen's Q&A Phone Service

Finally done with Yakumo Chen's Q&A Service manzai skit. I can now safely say, The 1st and the 2nd Touhou M-1 Grandprix is finally completed... if you don't count the cut out portion as always...

Anyway, I'll be taking another long rest again... next time I come back from translating, it'd probably be related to CLANNAD. See you soon...

I always forget... you can get the .ASS (Subtitle script file) here 1st and 2nd Touhou M-1 Translation Aegisub Scripts

Touhou M-1 Granprix: Yakumo Chen Q&A News

News, Good and Bad as always...

Good News is, I've already gotten a reply from various1260 on March 5, 2010... due to some incidents, I needed to set aside the translation for three weeks, totally breaking my promise on the post before this one even though I already got it. Please don't kill me! Anyway... that's the good news, although, not really so good.

The Bad News... the puns and references are destroying my brain! It will take a while again... but I'll make sure to finish it in a week or so...

=========================================

Just in case people don't know, the 3rd Touhou M-1 Grandprix skits has already been translated by http://www.youtube.com/user/Furienify and the 4th one is on going. Just watch the video above or double click it to open it in a new tab or new window and watch the other ones.




Have a nice day.

Touhou Conquers Again!

I know how dedicated fans of Touhou are with their hobbies but this is purely WOW. Touhou has Conquered another Legend. Anyway, I'm not an avid fan of Michael Jackson himself but I'm a fan of his musics and dances and Touhou+Michael Jackson is just pure WIN.

Now, some other topic. It's my 3rd day of work from an E-Mail support Call Center. I thought it'd be less stressful than my previous line of work but "Arghhh...!" I was wrong! My already compressed time has been compressed even more that there's just no way to do my hobbies. There are a lot of restrictions and you need to stare in front of the monitor reading complaints and praises the whole time with only few rest. Not to mention, you're not entirely sure if your actions are being monitored by the managers. If it isn't for the fact that I also like reading comments, I'd probably go crazy with all the eyes watching over me as if Yukari Yakumo was sent to have fun with my life. I'll try to persevere until I save enough and if possible, until I can ask for a part time position. I do plan to study in a Japanese school this year and plan to take all my time back. I like doing my hobbies but I need money so I'm not going to let that plan go away.

Anyway, reached another boss and is trying to beat it. Might take a while to do so though, but the worst case is, I can also lose. I need to apply my dodging technique.

E-Mail support Manager Profile:

Name: Call Center Managers (E-Mail support)
Species: Random
Abilities: The ability to see what you're doing.
Age: Random
Occupation: Manager
Location: Call Center Companies
Description: They sometime wear formal suits, sometimes civilian clothings and sometimes even home clothes. They can be intimidating sometimes so you'd better suck-up to them as early as possible.
Relationship: Call Center Agents (Underlings), Higher Managers (Stronger bosses)
Titles: One of Your Worst Nightmare (at least in Call Centers)

Managers are random. While they are described as a kind of boss in the Call Cen series, if we consider the power of average agents - who appear often as regular allies - we can certainly say they are exceptionally more experienced than the others. Their personality can be sometimes childish, as you might expect from a random human, and they are sometimes considered annoying, fun, and so on.

News! (Not sure if Great)

I'll go straight to the point. I was gone because I lost motivation to do my hobbies (Blender and Touhou M-1 translating stuffs) after that tragic crash (HardDisk crash). Then later on, tragic Engineering work and tragic end of Engineering work. After my job is over (since most of my jobs are project based), I was vacant for a long time although, I did had some small sideline jobs that made me survive a bit longer (Anyway, don't bother knowing how long I was jobless XD). The only thing I do most of the time is help(?) people who are stumped with questions, reply to forums I mostly frequent, and went back to playing Ragnarok Online, didn't even bother looking for a job for myself. I've become a NEET! A Hikkikomori! I reached the GOAL...! (Except I went the wrong way!) Oh God!

Touhou Updates:

I'm just dropping by to drop these in my own yard.





Anyway, you can find the M-1 script in my website http://www.freewebs.com/dgreater1/ as always. Ahhhh... I wanted to do this yesterday 09/09/09 but something came up that prevented me from doing so.

Blender 3D: Touhou Flanned Band

Okay, this and random kinds of work is what's taking my time. Don't have much to say except I still need to improve my rigging.


This was the outcome.




And like always, done using every basic method. Anyway, I wanted to add some flashy stuffs but SLOW PC is SLOW. Not to mention, this single scene (frame) actually took around 20 minutes to render in my Sempron 2400+, GEForce4 MX440 128bit/mb, 512mb memory (yeah, I added another 256mb). I tried it on my brother's Core2DUO and it rendered 5x faster... that's where I finally realized I really should be replacing this one in order to move forward. Next, I'll try to make a longer video, probably a music video (using every basic methods to death again). Geh... I don't know what to do anymore! Anyway, Gonna use this as Desktop Wallpaper for a while :3

Before I forget again!

DISCLAIMER: Aside from the rigging, I didn't make the model. It's from Teatime's Love Death 2's Touhou MOD.

Break on my Break

Some random stuff



I'll be gone for a while but I'll try to finish Hourai Teruyo before that. (I hope)

Also...







My brother made this in SIM and I went WTF?! because it looked 80% like me, even the physique resembles mine.

Touhou M-1 Grandprix: Witch Doll Tournament Finals

I'll just leave this here.

And as always, the script is in my crappy website http://freewebs.com/dgreater1

I wanted to add something else, like Blender stuffs but I haven't really improved that much yet. I should probably try modeling my messy room and see how far I can get to.

Anyway, have fun!

Blender Foundation: Minor News

The kids are out tonight and they're looking for someone to play with. I don't mind but, I don't want to play with a huge ball of energy and I definitely don't want to play with Starbow Break with matching full moon.

Anyway, I figure out how to rig but I still can't figure out how to do complex rigging. Sigh... I still have a lot to learn, not to mention animation (woot! it rhymes!) They look like figurines for some reason. I'll probably be stuck with modeling for some time.

Now, for something much cooler... Sound Horizon again!

Blender Foundation: Remilia Skirtless Model

This is actually my first try on using a different software for 3D Rendering/Modeling and all I can say is... Wow! There's so much difference between an actual 3D Renderer vs CAD Software with 3D rendering features. Anyway, if you're wondering, she's Remilia Skirtless... sorry for the horrible pun...? The two low profile characters from behind are Shizuha Aki and Minoriko Aki and as a fan of the later series (TH6 and so on), I should at least know that they are from Touhou 10: Moutain of Faith.

Touhou M-1 Grandprix: Border Girls

Some update. Anyway, I've finished subbing Touhou M-1 Grandprix: Border Girls. I used the Love Death 2: Border Girls Video as reference for my translation.

You can get the script file here "Touhou M-1 Grandprix: Border Girls"

Touhou: Youmu Desu... Love Death ２

Some minor update... anyway, I found this nice video of a nice song about jealousy. I'm pretty sure there are Touhou versions of this as well. I'm actually a fan of this group. They make good story songs.

Artist: Sound Horizon
Album: Elysion
Song name: Stardust

But anyway, that's not really my main purpose for posting... after a long time, I... as if anybody care... anyway it's not some Touhou M-1 Stuffs but it's still some Touhou stuffs.

You can find the nicovideo in this link *here*

Anyway, that's all...

By the way, I have applied the corrections that came from youtube's comment system but I'm not sure if I've applied everything so I advice you to check the comments there first (check the video description as well) if you're planning to use these files as a reference for your translation. Anyway, please forgive my lazinessssssss for not doing so~ I already Flanned on putting these files long ago but it suddenly slipped out of my mind so forgive me again XD
