Yet another 3D render, a practice session of camera composition. Enjoy!
name: the power of yoga
render time: approx 25 minutes
3d model: my first 3d human figure, ‘aisthu’
When all work is pending, for everyone except me is on vacation, there is only one option. So here is another render that took 1 hour 1 minute and 6 seconds to render (to check the speed of my MAC)! One glass of wine should be enough for someone alone! Enjoy!
Today just bored of the holiday blues and a bit out of curiosity I opened 3d studio max and this is what I end up creating. Every single item was drawn from scratch but since it has been nearly 7 years away from 3d studio I definitely need to brush up my 3D skills. Anyways enjoy!
Ok, it is time for the round 3, Extreme Makeover! Well, when it comes to makeovers for me it is a time to let myself go wild and free… I guess it all depends on the personality! So I went wild and free on Photoshop and this is what I ended up with! It took me two days contemplating for ideas and a day and a night to complete the artwork! With hundreds of layers things got really slow! To save, each time, it took nearly 3 minutes and about 5-7 minutes to do intensive effects, even a simple re-size!
Anyways I really did enjoyed creating it, so it is now your turn to enjoy it!
I have voted in the second round of the election 2008! For who, is not much of a big secret… Next is the worst part, I hate waiting… But we have to wait until one wins, to check the result live visit here… So while waiting why not participate and/or cast your vote on Crestock Photoshop Competition too, a competition to show off your creativity and Photoshop skills, among the many out in the net! Thou I have missed a couple of entries more or less I do participate in this competition every year! What for? It is fun and exciting!
The first round was about US Election 2008, a propagenda poster, it is over and here is the one that I came up with! Click to enlarge!
If you are a photoshop dude or dudy and have some time to kill, head your way to 2008 competition. The first round is over, but you can register and enter the 2nd, 3rd & 4th round. While you are there remember to cast your votes!
Note: This post is time sensitive…
A small leaflet designed for WTM 2008! enjoy!
Another function that you can use to find the duration of any given two times. If you know PHP you can modify this further to include years, days & months (if you need help let me know!). But right now it will only say the time differences of two inputted times, which is actually what I need for now!
function duration($start,$end){
$tmp_e = explode(“:”,$end);
$tmp_s = explode(“:”,$start);
$start_time = mktime($tmp_s[0],$tmp_s[1],$tmp_s[2],8,8,8);
$end_time = mktime($tmp_e[0],$tmp_e[1],$tmp_e[2],8,8,8);
$durationt = $end_time-$start_time;
$hrs = intval(floor($durationt/3600));
$min = intval(floor($durationt/60))-($hrs*60);
if($hrs<>0){
$rval = $hrs.’ hr’;
}
if($min<>0){
if($hrs<>0){
$rval .= ‘ & ‘.$min.’ min’;
} else {
$rval = $min.’ min’;
}
}
return $rval;
}
How to use it:
$timeOne =’12:31′;
$timeTwo = ‘15:43′;
echo duration($timeOne,$timeTwo); //output: 3 hours & 12 min
When dealing with weeks, one problem that I face is the difference in week start day! For us the week start with Saturday but for the most parts in the rest of the world the week start with Sunday or Monday! So in PHP calculations and queries related with weeks, it is important to find the previous Saturday of a given day in a week! The following function will tell you the Saturday of any week, provided you give it any day within the week.
<?php
function wksaturday($day) //input format: d/m/yyyy
{
$tmp = explode(“/”,$day);
$dateob = mktime(0,0,0,$tmp[1],$tmp[0],$tmp[2]);
$toadd = -1-(date(‘w’,$dateob));
if($toadd<=-7){
$toadd += 7;
}
$dadate = mktime(0,0,0,$tmp[1],$tmp[0]+($toadd),$tmp[2]);
return date(‘d/m/Y’,$dadate);
}
?>
How to use it:
<?php
$mydate =’24/12/2008′;
echo “saturday: “.wksaturday($mydate); //output saturday: 20/12/2008
?>
I guess it is about time TVM changes their logo! Here is one candidate!
Are you really serious TVM is changing their logo! I have no idea, I was just fooling around with Photoshop! Just blink your eyes while looking at this wallpaper!
