Guess what? I got Super Albino!!!!!!!!

Did you miss my incredible feat? It was a month ago - I am too lazy to try search and specify when did I reach 10 watchers, 100 llamas amd 1000 pageviews!!!!! Check my DA. Click the super llama

VICTORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Two-ways World

Voilá, my accidental masterpiece of animation!!!!!!!!

Kidding! I made it with a world map from h3dwallpapers.com and GIMP animation tools

I wasn't making a perfect sphere so I realized that the image's size was in the way. So I made a square and fit the image on... Worked perfectly!

Something made me turn the "white" into transparent and then animate, Then this babe was born!!!!!

Little screenshot of the making of:

The legend of the perfect eye

Yet, after a month not touching this eye, finally I am developing the right technique to make a perfect sight. And as I am adventurous, I am not searching for tutorials. 

Learning alone is time consuming, but possible. And the result, I believe, will be my very own style

Yet another logo

This is the symbol for my recently formed Academic League of Genetics from my college. 

I didn't make the ribbon and the laurel wreath is from another artist's work. But I will give credits and work on a fully original logo... when I find time

Ribbon: not sure yet

Giving a hand for Google

So.. I was helping with the poor Portuguese-English translations in Google Translator. There's alot of errors, and I guess it's due to the insane ammount of connections , relations and meanings words can have in portuguese.
For example, take this phrase: " I will buy groceries at the market", In portuguese, in literal translation it would be like: "I am going to buy groceries going at the market" or " I will go to the market to 'boughting' groceries" (different version for a word to fit in the phrase just because of grammar)

Other example is the word "love". We say "I love you." But in portuguese we give a different version for the world when it relates to other word, and even by the other word's 'genre' and termination.
It'd be something like this:
> "I love you" would be "I lavo you"
> "She love him" would be "She levi him"
> "She love her" would be "She leva her"
> "He love her" would be "He luvo her"

Not true translations, these are only some examples, but very crazy indeed. Notice the ammount of variations for "love" only because it relates to different other words on each phrase.

Portuguese seems to be very weird to english speakers. And it really is. Compared to English, protuguese is poor at ammount of words, but is insanely rich at meanings.

Anyways, I was helping Google a little and I got these lovely sentences to verify in middle of Valentines month:

 I guess the person that wrote it loves me... nah!

Thinking about tutorials

So... I was thinking about doing tutorials, and create a new page to put them. 

No, they will not be about tools and shortcuts and interfaces of manipulation/creation programs. There's a lot of them all over the immense internet!
I was thinking about doing some "how to" tutorials. This type of tutorial must become wider and better!

The legend of the perfect eye

Well... all started because I was trying to make a realistic 3D eye in Blender...
As I always do, instead of searching for a "how to do an eye in Blender" tutorial, I searched a lot of tutorials about sculpting tools, mesh editing, cycles render. And the ones about rendering made me lose my fear of nodes and search for help in "nodes editor". 

After learning all this, I tried to make the eye.

First, starting from a sphere, obviously. But I didn't know which one to chose, the ICO sphere or the UV sphere.

The ICO seemed the perfect one, because when subdivided, there's no apparent poles. The problem was when painting the vertices. Since there's no symmetry, it's hard to centralize things, something that I just discovered as priori for doing eyes...

Then I started another project, this time with the symmetric UV sphere. All was going fine, I was even able to make such realistic painting as you saw, but was there that I discovered an important point was missed:

If I did used one of the poles as the middle of the pupil, there would be a lot more vertices to paint the iris, and I could add more details!

Then, reluctantly, I erased this project and started another anew... this time with an UVsphere rotated 90 degrees for the front, like this, making one of the poles the center of the pupil, and the other, the backs of the eye.

Another problem appeared when painting: Some faces are not painted even when the mouse hover above them with a paint tool set. Struggling to  solve the problem I discovered that: 

Painting tools in Blender are dependent of your view. So, the faces that are not visible, will not be painted. Same goes for faces that are very tiny. As the ones in the sphere's poles.

This problem can be solved taking care not to let the paint tool reach the object's borders and zooming-in to paint little faces.Well, I was able to make another good looking eye. This time I needed to discover how to make it resemble an eye.

 I tried to make it shine as a real eye, so I first used the glass shader. No good, it makes the eye transparent... then I tried the glossy. No good again, as it make the eye shine too much. Then I had the idea to add diffuse shader... no good again, as it now looks firm but does not shine.Then I had the idea to add diffuse to the white part of the eye and the glossy shader for pupil and iris. Worked nicely, but then I discovered that 

Colors are differently affected by the shader's shining effect. And black is not affected at all, giving the impression of emptiness

Then I stopped to try shaders and searched real eyes through internet. I discovered an interesting effect 

No matter were you are looking at the eye, the pupil always seems to be at the middle of the iris 

Obviously I tried to imitate this effect. I came to the idea that if the pupil is plane, no matter where you look at the plane, the middle is always visible.But, the eye is round. There's no plane parts in the eye. So I had the idea to add a lent. No good. Then I had the idea to let the painted faces plane, then extrude a lent directly from the original mesh. Seemed genius, but I had problems with folds and to subdivide. Then I realized that I had to  

make a new sphere, but a little bigger and with glass shader, surrounding the painted sphere 

Worked properly. but I noticed that Real eyes have a bulge in the front of the pupil.

I made this bulge with the sculpting tools on the bigger sphere with glass shader, but then the bulge did not work well to let us see the pupil in the smaller sphere. Struggling for almost an entire week I discovered that we need to transform the iris area into an inside-out round bowl. 

All worked perfectly, now I had a real eye!!!!But... the pupil was unproportionally big for a real eye, so I had to struggle to find the perfect ratio 

The perfect ratio is: For the sphere diameter, the "bowl" must have 1/12 of depth and a diameter ratio of -2.6 in the edge. Same goes for the bulge in the bigger sphere.

My experience works to any 3D creation program with support for shaders and transparency, not only Blender. So, it's the recipe for a perfect closed-object eye.

Finally !!!!!!!! Got Blender 2.73a

So... I was struggling with the 2.7 trying to use Cycles engine... Now let's see what this babe can do

Head is now the eye

So... I was practicing. Remember? I was trying to make a female head.
I ended up having fun trying to make a real looking eye.

I am having problems with the render, so I will post the results when it is fixed (if I can fix that...)

Another Head

So... after dinner... bored... then started it again. This time with reference ^_^

Yo, mama!!! Imma DJ!!!!!!!

The Shove It (draft)

So...
Posted this work on Deviant Art and... now I kind of got a SUPER LLAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Add the 3 that I got with Flare Braids and Horns... for just two works posted, I am kind of surprized
