Today I received an e-mail from Lynksee in which they informed me that the Lynksee project is going to be canceled. The adsense advertising model with which it was intended to pay the servers had to be withdrawn because of problems with the policy of the service. They claim for the moderation of the pages and the removal of the “illegal” content. Impossible thing to do by lynksee given the incredible number of pages that are indexed. Because of this draft lynksee is unable to continue paying the servers so … Next December 21st Lynksee closes its doors and publish the source code. It is a real pity because I think lynksee was the best free accommodation that could be found out there. The greatness of Lynksee is a service that offered nearly equivalent to a payment hosting but absolutely free, and under a GNU/GPL license.

With regard to this blog, it means that I have to find a place to host it, a place that admits wordpress and is free, and if this is not possible, at least not a very expensive one, because this blog does not give money, it’s just my small window of communication with the world and I do not want to put any advertising or adsense

So I would ask, if you know of somewhere where I can migrate this blog tell me with your comments … (Wordpress.com free service is not an option, because it has many shortcomings and elements that can only be used if you pay)

Farewell Lynksee…and thanks for all.

This month I’ve had a surprise. A month ago, when I finished the “Keychain” with Blender’s Logo I thought I could submit it to the gallery they make every month at Blender Foundation’s home page. Anyone can send their pictures (if they are made with Blender, of course) and they choose that ones they think are the better ones and make a gallery with the best of the month. And the keychain is among the chosen!. The fact is that I submited it more out of curiosity than something else, and I’ve received a welcome surprise. This surprise has also led the visits to my blog during the day increased dramatically. Anyway, I wanted to share this surprise:)

You can see the gallery on this link. The image is down page to the section entitled “External Renderers”:

Blender.org Gallery

Edit: I’ve seen just now that the image has been used in Blender Nation’s entry about October’s Gallery HERE

Today is my birthday so I take the excuse to write a post and congratulate myself. ¡Happy Birthday to me! (lol)

Well, at last I can show you some of the work thay we have been working on in recent months. And that is few pictures of Godspeed: One: Secret Legacy, a fully digital spanish production TV Movie in which I was responsible for production design of some of its elements. But I joined the team when production was already well underway.
At last the official trailer has come to light. Yyou can find, along with the teaser in its official website. On the same website and in the Extras section you’ll find some samples of my work in the movie (for the moment everything in this section is made from me) namely, the concepts for whom the superb 3D team has modelled what finally will be displayed. In the rest of the page you can see samples of the wonderful work done by other people who have taken part in the production and details of the story.

Now to wait until the film finally see the light that will be, hopefully, soon. Perhaps the future brings us more Godspeed ……….

And, to show something, here you have a panel of the Godspeed comic … and of course the Link to the official website.

GODSPEED

Here I am again, here you have three more images about my flirtations with Blender. This time I was trying glass with liquid stuff inside, even when it doesn´t seem to, it has its difficulty to achieve the liquid to be seen through the crystal. The darker is rendered with the Blender Interal, and the others with Indigo. The Blender internal is a very good engine and you can do wonderful things with it but, remember, I´m a noobie yet. In fact these renders are prior to the key ring ones, but I was undecided about to hang them here because, as you can see, they are very simple renders. But this blog’s theme is to show my progress (even to myself), so, in the future i will look at this renders and compare with what I’ll be doing doing at this time and feel very prud of myself (lol). Well, it is not much but I like to hang something on the blog from time to time…. even if it is for just myself

C ya in the next entry…
