Still Mosvatnet

"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.

- Nathaniel Hawthorne

Mosvatnet in Autumn

"A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air."

- Eric Sloane

Delicious Autumn!

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."

- George Eliot

Make LOVE

I found someone has put this on a dustbin, adverticing Love instead of War, like John Lennon used to do. Here is a poem suited for it:

Let's Make LOVE!
by Fauzia Khan

Make love to me tonight
Till the wee hours of morning light
Cling to me in ecstacy
Be my sweet memory...

Memories are magical treasures
A secrect never to be told
Charming you all through your life
A special place they hold

Hold me close to your heart
For then I can enter your soul
Hold me tight, Never let me go
Never felt so strong love before

Love me tender, Love me soft
Love me in the heat of the night
Show me the mysteries, Show me the scars
Shower all the affection you have got

Let me see your passion, my plight
Honey` Let's make love...

Let me enchant thy soul with memories
Whisper into each others ears
Welcome the Dawn of love
Live the way our souls want us to be
So Let's make love...

Song for Autumn

In the deep fall

don't you imagine the leaves think how
comfortable it will be to touch
the earth instead of the
nothingness of air and the endless
freshets of wind? And don't you think
the trees themselves, especially those with mossy,
warm caves, begin to think
of the birds that will come - six, a dozen - to sleep
inside their bodies? And don't you hear
the goldenrod whispering goodbye,
the everlasting being crowned with the first
tuffets of snow? The pond
vanishes, and the white field over which
the fox runs so quickly brings out
its blue shadows. And the wind pumps its
bellows. And at evening especially,
the piled firewood shifts a little,
longing to be on its way.

-Mary Oliver

Autumn is Here

Then summer fades and passes and October comes. We'll smell smoke then, and feel an unexpected sharpness, a thrill of nervousness, swift elation, a sense of sadness and departure.

- Thomas Wolfe

Max Bridge, Outdoor Walkway

Here is a nice rendition of a small bridge, outdoor walkway. The challenge here was doing the railings and since my first attempt was a failure I had to create a new set in which the faces were not so many.

See, my first try had a rounded profile of the railings and so the 3ds max file went over 25 megabytes in memory space. There was that problem, and also the fact that I could not export it to 3ds file extension. I have learned that it is better to create low polys first and then add more in case it is needed. It keeps the files portable and less headache when you have a not so fast computer. So I deleted the round railings and put in new square profile, it is just as good as rounded, and wala! it is now under 500 kb.

Anyway, you can get access to my free max bridge here for download. file is .3ds.

Here is a video of it showing all around sides. You can watch in HD. Thank you for your visits.

The Summer has Done

As sunlight creeps through branches to the earth,
And leaves begin to clothe the ground in gold,
Where seedlings hide until their springtime birth,
A new beginning from a tree that's old.

Around each twisted pathway through the glen,
The mushroom heads are visible in morning light,
And there the fairies dance in leaves again,
As morning dew appears like jewels - bright.

As cobwebs hang on fallen leaves that scatter,
And glisten hung in dew like morning glory,
The nature of the spectacle will matter,
To those who seek to share in nature's story.

Gold upon red, and autumn colors wonder,
We bask in color, now the summer's done,
And cast our cares and dreams and hopes asunder,
When a golden leaf is caught by autumn sun

by Rachelle de Bretagne

Graffiti # 6

These two pictures are painted in plain view in center of town. "Balloon Heads" I would have called them. They are kind of attractive though, much more so than all the ugly scribbeling some do.

3D Female Manga On 3DS Max

This is actually my 2nd character model I created on 3d Max. Was quite a challenge to finish. I am glad on how it turned out though. I will try to make more characters in the future, so please keep tuned here.

Here is the description on it: Nice detailed manga girl. Done in 3ds max version 7. Rendered with default scanline renderer. Interested? You can buy this model for a very low price in here: Character 2 final

On Wednesday I showed the sister house of this in rehabilitation. Here you see how nice it will be when finished. 

Fantastic Jet

Detailed Space Fighter Jet done in 3ds max 7 (transferred to 9). Rendered with default scanline renderer . File size: 479 (with animation sequence) KB. Download here: Fantastic-jet 1

Update: Now with a Video render. I tried uploading to Youtube, but for some reason I kept getting error after error page. So I decided to upload only to blogger. Well, about the video, you have to pretend it is flying and going at fast speed. I tried to help with post visuals so it might seem so. I will be back with more videos, and hopefully I will be able to upload to Youtube next time.

Big House 1

Nice model of a 2-Story home. Added pool, some chairs, tables, balcony, trellis, columns and fountain. Rendered with default scanline renderer. Done in 3ds max 9. Vertices: 153,692. File size: 2.6 MB. Download it here: Big House 1.

Update: New video render (750 frames) below, showing all important sides, the back showing the pool, trees, table, chairs, umbrella and others being the most attractive. Comments are welcome and thanks for visiting!! ^.^

Rebuilding

This house look VERY scruffy, but they have laid a new roof and slowly will rebuild it. The neighbour house is exactly the same, already fixed up. I will take a photo and show you how this house will look like with labour and money.

Apartment Building 1

Nicely detailed. Created in 3ds max 9. rendered with v-ray, but also compatible with default scanline renderer. Features partial street, light posts, trellis, balcony, trees, and more. all around design. Vertices: 45,685. File size: 1.5 MB. Download it here: Apartment Building 1

Updated. I guess the trees is what made this somewhat a large file. I decided to do a video render of all the sides of the building so it won't seem just a perspective Hollywood stage. Unbelieable that the little 34 second video took 12 hours to render and 3 hours uploading to Youtube. That is a total of 15 hours of work! Well I am glad on how the video below turned out in HD though.

Update: I have added a video in HD for a better understanding of the model. Quite simple 3d, but takes a whole lot of time to render video. I think a faster computer would definitely come in handy, but for now I think its O.k.

This was actually done on 3ds max even though it seems like it was done with other animation software. This clip is in HD, and could be used as stock. It is available for sale. If anyone interested, contact me and I will give you the link on where to purchase. :D

Shops

Here we have three very nice shops; Kids, Europris and ICA, near Kjelvene, just east of the skatepark. Kids for bedsheets, curtains, pillows and everything soft in between. Europris for "everything" cheap, I don't even know how to begin. ICA is food, and so much nice food of all kinds, even fresh.

Plus Size Women's Clothes Are Easy To Find

Women are the main audience for designers. Merchandise they create is meant to be sold to them. It can be shoes, clothing, or accessories. Though it wasn't very long ago when a woman who didn't fit into the standard body type, whether they were too tall or large, or even pregnant, coulnd't find anything fashionable to purchase for themselves.

No matter what size you need, these days shopping will be a fun experience. The designers of today will often add a line of plus size womens clothes as a standard part of the collection. All women enjoy feeling sexy and looking stylish. Designers have realized this, and filled the need for fashionable plus size womens clothes by adding them into their line.

Plus size women's clothing is now available in greater abundance and variety than ever before. You no longer have to go to larger cities to find specialty shops or search the internet for things to wear. Major department stores everywhere are carrying a greater range of clothing sizes and styles to fit women of virtually any shape.

You can find just about anything you are looking for by using the Internet. You can even find amazing and attractive plus size women's clothes. There are several reasons why some women prefer to do their plus size clothes shopping online instead of going into the store. This article will discuss those reasons.

A great thing about shopping online is that you can avoid the stress of crowds and wading through lines. It is no fun waiting for a changing room, only to have someone knocking on the door after you get the first outfit on. Additionally, the selection of plus sizes on the web is much wider than any single "brick and mortar" retail outlet. When the process works, you will avoid the hassle of the "retail shuffle", save time and energy, and end up with the item you dreamed in just your size.

Norsk Stål (Norwegian Iron)

They have this grand building for offices. I kinda like it.
