Here's a wallpaper that I added to the goodies section :



Linky

It's basically a cruise down memory lane to one of my favorite childhood TV shows. I also used the subject to try out some effects with Blender's compositor nodes.

Oh, and I have no rights on these pop-culture robots and no harm was meant .

The title says it all :

Another CG Society finding :

Saturday and Sunday were much more busy. With the fine weather we had a picnic in the nearby parc. I got Bronze in the Confirmed category of the Fantask Open painting contest.

Here are a few pics of the convention (the empty ones were taken Friday night) :

Last night at the OctoGônes gaming convention, I tried out two games.

The first was "Off the Dead" (http://www.offthedead.com/). I really liked how it incarnated the atmosphere of horror films : a first phase to get some equipement (the search rule is simple but clever) while the hord advances, then all hell breaks out and you have to collaborate as best as possible with you fellow survivors to try to make it till the end of the game without succombing to the zombie infection.

The second was "King of Tokyo" (designed by Mr Richard Garfield). This one is a little bit less serious but much fun was had putting our monsters against each other in the ruins of Tokyo. Maybe we were a bit too heavy handed on the fighting part, but we regretted that we couldn't use as many effect cards as we wanted. The special dice are the kernel of this game, and I was surprised to see how balanced and not fait oriented it summed up to be.

I saw this recently and just wanted to share, some people really have great ideas :

Back from my vacation, I had the joy to see that my Shapeways order came in :

A Dragon Ring in "Antique Bronze Glossy" :



I'm happy with general outcome. Some details didn't come out (the tongue), but that shouldn't be a problem for finer materials.

And a set of 10 25mm Industrial Bases in "White Strong and Flexible Polished" :



95% of the details came out perfectly, some bolts disapeared, but for gaming usage the quality/cost is fine.
