Evo X (new Year)


As I lie on the beach,
Fireworks explode above me,
Signals the arrival of 2008.
As I continue to ponder,
I see Orion lying idle in the background,
Who's belt points to Ursula minor,
Indicating the way home.
...
Whatever ..
Happy New Year ..
I went out ... had a Kebab .. (birthday meal .. a healthy meal for a change.)
Made it home in time to continue my 3D model.
Done the lights and textures for the lights and grill ...
It didn't turn out as photo realistic as I hoped it would ... but if it were to be a transformer, I'm sure the lack of detail won't hurt.
Haven't done the bump maps yet.

Heres a photo of the transformed evo concept. Thinking of naming him Jazz .. reincarnated. Jazz shouldn't have died in the movie IMO. The drawing is still incomplete but you get the idea. The theme is curves with straight lines ... like jazz in the movie ... but a little different. No head and arms yet ... ran out of ideas ..

well ... Happy New Year.

Evo X (finishing the front)





Did the smaller stuff such as the logo, headlights, side mirrors. The headlights aren't quite finished yet. I also modified the front a bit so it looks like the real Evo instead of looking like a skyline. It has that modern touch.

Also changed the color a bit so that it won't look like plastic.

Evo X continued

What its supposed to look like ....
What it currently looks like .... Stripped down, no windows, doors, tyres, lights.

This is my first experience with blender really. Have to admit its great ... the tutorials online are really helpful compared to 3d s Max where you'd have to buy a book worth RM500 ...
Gotta love Open Source ...

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

I'm starved of projects at the moment. I've just formatted my PC, hence the game project has been lost. Anyways, I thought of doing 3D this time. Now my OS is ubuntu, I'm forced to use blender. Had to learn from scratch. May not be a bad thing.
The end result should at least resemble that. Once its finished, who knows. Might even do a Evo Transformer.

As for the modelling part, I think I can do the basics at least. The tutorials for blender are really handy. In 2 days I managed to build the front bonnet.


The lines are a bit crooked round the edges, still tweaking to achieve the perfect representation of the real thing. In my opinion, if you don't strive for perfection, you'll NEVER achieve it.
Evolution X Aeroback ??? ...
Blakang tak siap lg ... xde gamba ... so susah sikit.
Haven't got the material right yet. Not even sure how to get it done .. haha.. Also I modified it, besarkan ventilation and intake for the engine, makes it easier for me and also makes the car look more intimidating.

Crystal

Layan Drama Taiwan ... Devil Beside You ...
Bes gak la .. awek nye (Rainie Yang) comel dan cun pd masa yg sama. Jalan cerita pn agak menarik. If you can overcome the language barrier, this is definitely one to watch.

Hasil emosi jiwang karat dan kesedihan sesetengah episode, cmne tah aku leh dpt inspirasi utk buat track ni ...
I call it Crystal, sbb it sounds beautiful, sort of. Its still a short 1.50 min sub-song which can be developed further, but I like it the way it is.

Chronicles of the Winger (Lyrics)

Chronicles of a Winger

Have you ever felt the urge
to feed your shoulders through his hide.
And remember keep it low
to feel the tenderness inside.

Fly, dont play it passively.
clean the rucks and feed the line to
keep it flowing.
As I'm standing on the wings.
Setting up to seize chance to speed,
Don't slow me down.

I can't seem to find,
the essence fueling passion in my mind.
Though I fall behind,
just give me another chance to rectify,

and still we rise from the pain of dislocation.
if simplified, its just another wound succumbed to.

Utilize your speed and stepping skills to run around,
Trying hardest to stay on your feet to gain me ground.

M (rock swing version)

Havent posted in a while ...
This is the new version of M ... pada aku lg gempak dr M and Dark Matter. Maybe sbb aku yg buat, tp .. it definitely has more variety than the other crap songs that I'v done. Its more swing-ish in my opinion. Thats why I like it i guess. Still has that crunchy guitar flavour featured in Dark Matter, but hey, thats my trademark, my personal style. Hard to believe when I listen to the first version of M. I have another song floating around in my head. I think I'm gonna call it "Chronicles Of the Winger". Same style of music, the type that makes you want to RUN !!!.

Might need to redo some parts to distinguish it from the other songs I've wrote. The last thing I want is someone saying "Hey ... that sounds like ....".

Anyway .. here it is.

Lyrics :

A song about M-Theory ...
(inspired by Mohd Marwan and Utada Hikaru)
verse:

Achieve singularity,
the equation signed,
as its radically defined

So now will you live to see,
when it all confines,
all that you see through your eyes ?

verse:
Though it seems a certainty,
our composing strings, untouchable it seems.
How ?
When will they be found ?

We're seeking the answers in the skies.
Knowing the answer's due to rise.
Did you know its seeping through your eyes.
They're seeping through your eyes.


bridge:
May it start and end in symmetry
in a massive burst of light.

See the hidden right before you're eyes?

chorus:
know the reasons why

you can't crystallize
the impeded, dark and twisted
when knowing that no one can know
the beginning.

within it lies
whats unified
we be heeding, make believing
of science where no one can go.
Someone tell me is there more ?
