Sculptris.

 I found a new program called Sculptris. It is free, super easy and seems really powerful. It is hopeless for low poly modeling but for ease of use and intuition i have never seen anything like it, it is almost like having a ball of actual clay.

This fish is my first ever go. 5 mins with no tutorial, no instructions no shortcuts. Cool!

 Right now I have it in Blender, decimated so it has a reasonable number of polygons. Unfortunately I lost the nice paint job, but i made up for it by rigging a skeleton and will be animating it soon just for practice. I am a little rusty on animation.

Ty the tasmanian tiger.... There ARE australiana computer games out there.


"'Meet TY, a fearless Tasmanian tiger in the wild and untamed Australian wilderness. Skilled in the art of boomerang combat, TY not only survives the dangerous Australian Outback, he runs, jumps, swims, and glides through it. As TY, you'll encounter more than 50 wild characters based on real-life indigenous animals of Australia"
One of the first known mods. Castle Smurfenstein was created from Castle Wolfenstein. The nazis are smurfs. that is all. They fucking HATE smurfs.


There is a game called Vinyl Goddess from Mars. Her spaceship was hit by a meteor on her way to a cosmic comic convention.
Bad.

This game is improbably called ZZT  (....? why?) It has a level editor and therefore 1000+ levels nowadays.

My friend showed me Gnilley, you move around and when you YELL into your microphone it kills enemies, changes the physics, distorts your view or opens doors. Sometimes all of them at the same time. Amazing, watch the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYPwYfbi8jA (i did not record this)
