yes, yet another little pattern right here. how littler can it get? can you see anything? hehe. well, don't be afraid. i won't be turning this into the little flower blog. would you like me to change the color scheme to pink as well? i could have a light pink background, write in dark pink and have a pink header. yummy!
continuing with the little patterns. this is another reinterpretation of another ottoman pattern. see how crappy i cropped the image? (hehe that kind of rhymes!) bad, bad, bad... this is again, a small part of the bigger project i mentioned before.
let's see some little patterns. i had a lot of fun doing these; despite the tight deadline, couple of months ago. ok, more than a couple i guess :D they are interpretations of traditional ottoman patterns and are part of a bigger project. i hope it is fun looking at the details!
serious meeting with a teammate
assos was, as usual, fantastic. the sea was, again, very cold. and wonderful. swimming there is such a blast! although i must sadly warn that we have seen the tiniest beginnings of sea pollution. a little bit of foamy discharge here, some unnatural and dirty-looking moss on the rocks there. hmm. what a surprise... i will truly be mourning if the assos sea dies just like many others.
i honestly didn't have my share of sea this year, which is unfair for a swimming enthusiast. i just cannot say farewell to summer without enjoying the aegean. between going to finland (what did you do there, by the way?) and working my ass off, i just couldn't fit in the time to jump into the water. if it weren't for some surprise alterations in our schedule, we wouldn't be able to go now, either. (ok first you were talking as 'i', suddenly you changed to 'we'. who exactly are you and how many people?)
the chromage is becoming acceptable. what to do about those leds? they look so dull. emit some light, already! grrr. i will also need to show the connection to this guy. let's not look static!
jump up, come down. up, down. up, down. it is sometimes impossible for me to focus and get things done. but i made a promise to myself of finishing what i started and realizing what i set my mind to, and i need to keep it. aah, if it weren't for that promise! i'm still a kid i guess.
hihi i have found ways to eliminate the dirty greyness, partially. still not too happy, though. need some contrast. some shadows. some depth. and how can i not lose the led lights while still keeping it bright?
i need to get going fast. but nevertheless, i would like to upload a new progress image. i despise these wordless posts.
a cannot say i am too crazy about the dirty greyness all over. and what about this angle? hm, maybe the angle is not too bad. i don't know. i'm hating the dirty middle part more right now i guess. but it's a progress image, isn't it?
so, it seems that my model is forming albeit slowly. i will have to do some refinement refinement refinement. some proportions that i don't like need to change. i will also have to take different renders to show what is (hopefully) so special about this gal. rum ta dum! i am enjoying modeling it. hope to enjoy rendering it for a decent look and hope you enjoy seeing its progression as well!
does this look familiar? maybe you remember some old friend of ours from wayy back! that's right, the wire toy. wasn't he cute? and maybe you remember the lamp project i was working on, too? that's right. the two of them are back! they want to become -how to say- more real, more concrete, more... good looking:) hopefully!
solidworks. i knew we would be good friends:) the guy -and he is definitely a guy!- is so intuitive and easy to use. clean, neat and precise. where have you been all these years? a modeler's dream. thank you thomas parel for the nice tutorial!
aah, how i love the lazy months of summer! because of our 'no beach vacation in july and august' policy -too hot!-, we are enjoying a quiet city. nobody cares about work too much. but you never know when something will come up, do you?
some of my files are on the laptop. some are on the 'cloud' (super-cool-trendy term for saving your files on the internet and on not your hard disk-well basically. i'm such a newbie in using it) some are even on my camera. and now i'm back to my desktop after a long while in finland. how am i going to get all the stuff together???
what in the world is this? can you guess? it is a hard one, i must confess... more on this later. see, i was busy after all! welcome to my new follower by the way:)
finland is probably the only place i can see this beautiful saab. i feel lucky. check out the features... it is commanding attention! 
agg! my last post disappeared in the black hole of internet, and now i have to write it again! ok, here it goes: hihi the amount of collaborative work in my life is in an increase trend:) and i am very happy about that. this is only a tiny small bit of the rethink finland project we made at the aalto university. i am very happy to have met all the idbm'ers. a big thank you! and thanks a lot to prof peter mcgrory for this wonderful course! it's a pity it was just 3 weeks...
if you look past the clouds, you will see a very, very snowy country below. that is finland. and that is where i am now. since i have come here, i want to sleep, sleep and sleep all the time. but i don't. hihi. adapting to yet another country. surviving in a different climate. seeing what is beyond the ice. let's play!
