WordPress Upgrade – Ella

Sunday, February 18th, 2007 at 4:05 pm | Posted in Site News | Comments Off on WordPress Upgrade – Ella

Just updated the site to WordPress v2.1 (Ella). Everything looks good, except for my links page. I will have to check it out a little later.

This release should speed things up, and I have taken the opportunity to reduce the time on the page fade from 1 second to 0.5 seconds. Hopefully the site will feel a bit more sprightly all round.

Another small change to the theme has been the default font size. Before it was 10px, which was fine on most operating systems, but since I have been using linux at work I have found it a little small. The new font size is now 11px, but these changes haven’t been propagated to the other options. I’ll get around to this after fixing my links page.

New CGI section

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007 at 10:29 am | Posted in Gubbins, Site News | Comments Off on New CGI section

With my new job, I’ve decided to add a Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) section to the web site. This aim is to make a little section to show off some of the work I have been a part of.

For now, all of this is a placeholder, so that I am spurred into action. I am thinking the finished article will be along the lines of the Photos section.

Stay tuned…

Back from Venice

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006 at 6:38 pm | Posted in Gubbins, Site News | Comments Off on Back from Venice

We got back from Venice yesterday, after a few days walking around the city.

A strange trip, lots of great buildings and okay weather – but the food was awful. Being half-Italian, I was shocked. It wasn’t cheap either.

Enough complaining, here are the photos…

You can see the photos a little larger under the photos page.

First tutorial is up!

Yey! The first tutorial is up, covering how to modify real-time shaders to make use of a colour map’s alpha channel. Hopefully a useful technique for a few of you.

A few more Softimage pics

I’ve just added a bunch of photos to the Softimage Gubbins album under Photos.

There’s a t-shirt museum, a sneak peak at the demo prep suite and other shenanigans. Enjoy.

(Photos are from the Softimage Gallery)
