156 Virtual Ice Skates

on Nov. 17, 2009

I had planned to make the skates more nifty looking when I scripted this out but then Dad happened so I cheaped out, made a basic shape and textured it the way you see it now. The solid is actually roughly that shape, but didnt look right as a solid so I made it appear to made out of colored air or clouds. I had also planned on a brief tour, just Alex passing the planets instead of an information exchange but not only would it be out of character for Alex to simply pass the wonders by, but it would be less time consuming. So for about 3 weeks, maybe 4 we're going hear a little about the outer planets to give Dad a chance to heal and me a buffer so I have time to work on some custom models. Hopefully I won't bore anyone to death for sharing a little more about the planets of Questa.

Oh yeah, I've been experimenting a little with the shader, trying to get the shadows to look more natural on characters, what do ya think?
