Hey I'm doing two workshops for Opensource October with my two favorite opensource program. Blender and Inkscape! Here is a teaser for my upcoming workshop.

I did this calendar/flyer for Intercultural Affairs at my University. Here is a sample screenshot. Not the best resolution but I liked the way it turned out using opensource programs Scribus+Inkscape.

I finally finished the achievement icons that one of my professor requested for the web work system. Here is a screenshot. I'll post the SVG file on my next post.

Here are the first set of finished Icons

Having this be the first time I tried out Sculptris. I decided to model a woman's face. This is my WIP. Next TODO: Clean up model and then import to Blender for texturing and add hair.

After countless hours of programming of trial and error. I have found the solution to the input() bug. Option 1: Revert back to python 2.7 until this is fixed. Option 2:  It seems that \r is trailing the input so the fix is... #python version 3.2 string = input("-> Your input here: ") #The fix string.strip("/r") And that's is pretty much it.

Hey if your looking for a great 3D sculpting program, ZBrush is giving free downloads to its new software that it recently acquired "Sculptris". Check it out. www.sculptris.com

I am creating a set of achievement Icons for A professor at my University who asked me if I can help out with the artwork for his math achievement system.I will be uploading the vector icons once I am finished. Here is a sample icon I have created.

While I had nothing to do I wrote a small bash program that stores those tedious passwords. I introduce you to a small program called Linux Password Manager(Working title).

In an earlier post I commented on how ugly exporting PNG images were in Inkscape well its been fixed.  Under the file menu there is an option call export bitmap if you click on this and export it as a PNG image it should output a nice result.

All program needs some sort of icon so I made one for candr. Tada!

So having assigned a ton of projects through out the semester in my computer science courses I find that when your done with everything you feel like you should be doing more projects. Well being bored out of my mind and waiting for the finals I felt that I needed to make use of my time so I wrote a script called candr short for "Compile and Run". It is a shell script used for compiling, structuring, and running your java programs via Linux terminal and has additional features that are commented out in the source. Feel free to look at the source and experiment with it. The script is documented so if you have any questions feel free to contact me. click here to download

There are a lot of times when we run into an artist block and the best way I found to get out of this is by reusing the same shape and see what you can come up with. Here are some for example.  To download the svg file, right click then hit save link as: shapes.svg

I miss those good old Gameboy color days with Dragon Warriors so decided to do this one. Here is slime. If you would like to study the drawing feel free to download the Inkscape SVG file. Right click then hit save link as: slime.svg All rights reserve to the original artists.

If you haven't notice already, the previews I typically put on looks horrible. Thats because Inkscape can not render an image with filters and blurs. However if you import it using the GIMP or an equivalent that should solve the problem.
