A Hobby

2011-11-19T19:04:00.000-08:00

I like playing music in a continuous manner, not beat matching like what a club DJ would do but rather playing music of various genre and tempo back to back. Have been doing this since I was a teenager, from the old days using cassette players and CD players with a mixer. Now is done entirely with a computer and no longer needed physical compact discs, CD players and best of all no more messy cables! But I don't always listen to music this way as it can get really tiring if is done too often.

Unlike in the past I have to listen to my favorite songs without having to use a stereo sound system and headphones. Just a small computer speaker and playing music at a comfortable level. Tinnitus really changes the way I enjoy these music and this is also the reason I rarely do music remixes these days.

31 Oct 2000 and 07 July 2007 are two dates that will forever inked in my head. These are the days where Tinnitus was triggered by loud noises.

It's been years since the triggers and these noises are still ringing in my ears and I am fully aware that Tinnitus is an incurable hearing defect. Sufferers have to learn to live with these noises. Although these ringings are non stop the only time I do not gets to hear/notice is when I am asleep. At least this is a temporary fake "shut off" for a few hours.

Interior Rendering - Apartment 01 Bedroom

Interior Rendering: Apartment 01 View 01 & 02

2010-10-18T19:35:00.000-07:00

I have to render with Yafaray 0.1.1 as beta version crashed whenever I tried rendering these two interior images. I think might due to my computer. Other applications running on my PC like Adobe Fireworks, Inkscape crashes occasionally not just Blender and Yafaray it was still able to run after restarting the software. For beta 0.1.2 it just could not render even after restarting my computer I keeps getting this error message std_bad_alloc on the DOS window of Blender.

Many thanks to Flyingarchitecture.com for those deliciously looking apple models and textures and CG Texture for the floor, doors, coffee table and cabinets, sofa textures, building and landscape photos. Not forgetting Blender and Yafaray.

Interior Rendering: Livingroom 03

2010-10-18T19:34:00.000-07:00

This is my second interior visualization project rendered with Yafaray 0.1.2 (beta). One new features in this version is the ability to add IES data. IES data are files contain information about the light distribution of a lighting fixture. For this project I am using Erco IES data.

I finally figured out by enabling the Meshlight of an object in Yafaray the model will illuminate the surrounding when using Photonmapping rendering method. Previously I was using material to set the emitting property which it was able to cast light when rendered with Pathtracing method but not with Photonmapping.

Many thanks to Flyingarchitecture.com for the bush pot model and CG Texture for wall, floor, large canvas art and background building textures.

Interior Rendering: Livingroom 22 Sept 2010

2010-09-22T21:53:00.000-07:00

I’m not really satisfied with the overall result of this interior project of a livingroom and the sofa model which I did on my own look rather amateurish. After spending a week on this I think is tiime to move on and work on a new project. Special thanks to Flyingarchitecture.com for the free tv, dvd player, chairs and plants models and cgtexture for free textures that was used in some of the models.

Modeled in Blender and rendered with Yafaray.
