Psalm 31:3


Well, I finally finished my other castle. I think it looks a lot better than my previous castle. It took a long time to render, though! I added the text on GIMP. Let me know what you think!

A Castle


Here is a castle I modeled using the new image textures on the Spiral Graphics website. I had always wanted to make a castle in Blender, but I never could find some good image textures for the walls and towers until now. It was pretty easy to model. The hard part was putting on the UV textures it. I'm currently working on a "good guy" castle, and I'll post that when it's done. Let me know what you think!

P.S. If you don't have the link to the image textures I used, here it is:

Thanks for looking!

Mario Brothers

Just for fun and practice, I thought I would Model a Mario in Blender. It was more of a challenge than I had originally thought. I had made a large part of it with photo assistance. My brother Caleb also gave me a lot of input as to how he should look. I may still do some more editing to it (like the hands, and the textures, etc.). Anyway, here is the picture.


I know it's no where near as good as the Mario and Luigi on "Super Mario Galaxy", but I think they look fine. I also modeled Luigi, who was not as hard, only because I just copied Mario, stretched the body, modeled a new mustache, and did some editing to the head and textures.


Let me know what you think and if there is anything you think I need to change!

Christmas Pictures










I know, it's a little late for Christmas pictures, but I thought I would show them to you anyway! The wise men one wasn't that difficult at all, since I made those wise men last year, all I had to add was the ground. The second one is of those ornament Christmas trees that you see in many stores. The last one was probably the most difficult. I built that custom designed sleigh on MLCad. that probably took the most time!








What is some of your New Years Resolutions? I haven't really made any. except I'm going to study my bible more often.








Please pray for my sister, Bethany. She had her wisdom teeth taken out on the 30th. she is starting to feel better now, but please pray for her.




Well, that's about it. I'll try to post again soon!

Caleb's Creations

I added a new link to my blog. My brother Caleb started his own blog to post some of the stuff he makes out of LEGOs and on leocad, and about his everyday life. His friend Clark will also post sometimes about everyday things. Be sure to look at Caleb's Creations!

Update



A lot has changed since my last post. If you read my family blog regularly, you probably know we have moved (again!). And my dad has gotten a new job (with a great company!).




How was your Thanksgiving? My family had the joy of spending Thanksgiving dinner together. During the month of November, all of us would write on a little piece of paper something we are thankful for. We put them all in a bag, and during Thanksgiving dinner, we passed the bag around the table, each person reading one of the cards. We had a very memorable Thansgiving.




The next day, we got out all of our Christmas decor out of the attic, and had a great time putting up the tree. The Luke 2:14 picture I took using the christmas tree in our room (it's only 3' tall). I added the text in Blender.
Has anyone figured out the new explode modifier in Blender? I made this animation of my brothers movie making company with it.

C.E.O. stands for: Caleb, Emily, and Olivia, the first three actors in his first movie.

Well, I guess that bring you up to date. Let me know if you like the animation and the Christmas picture. I'll be making more Christmas pictures when it gets closer to Christmas.

Isaiah 40:31

Here is another Illustrated Verse I made for my mom.




We are going to get this picture framed too. This is a very inspiring verse. It really speaks to our family. Let me know if you like it!
(by the way, I didn't model that eagle, that is just a picture I used as a background image!)
