Crikey… I've deleted and sorted nearly 15,000 emails related to facebook games & spam filled email lists. The things I do for my mother. #

Spotted John Key in Sydney airport security. He was rolling 10 suits deep while I was having my bag swabbed. Don't worry, it was consensual. #

One day I want to make an ambient drone / left field electronic album; the next, a psych-hiphop record. Will play around, see what comes out #
Tis funny how the changing weather & season's can elicit a creative response. #

It's alive! ….. now I go to sleep. #
A fella really could get accustomed to this "heated home" novelty. #

DECO-HEDRON

John-Paul — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 12:18:48 +0000

DSDN104_render_029, originally uploaded by John-Paul McCarthy.

This is a rendered image for a current 3D modelling project.
I’ve titled the entity “DecoHedron” due to the Art Deco & Art Nouveau movements that influenced this piece.

The references to the TRON film are obvious; but I really wanted to achieve a stark, super saturated feel with the final rendering. Two other models will accompany this piece — rendering in a similar fashion — though in Green & Blue.

Final Render

Final Render, originally uploaded by John-Paul McCarthy.

The final rendering for a 3D modelling project project.
It might appear simple enough but it involved nearly 18h of rendering time then another 30 minutes of photoshop tweaks.

I’m still tired.

Tired and buggered day 3. Less about getting older… more about mindset. Caught up on plenty of music listening though! #

thanks… but it's a rental #
You guys & your bots are a complete disappointment. At least try to sell me a watch. I'd take that over a promise of social media expertise. #
resume reduced from FOUR pages to TWO — the impossible has officially been accomplished ;) #
Finally something useful in Google Wave —- a brainstorming app! nice one guys! #
At the drawing board today… also need to slice some audio for a media project.
Coffee consumption is imminent. #
