Well just a little YAY because my name2key database just crossed the million of keys/name pairs, you can browse it here : http://kdc.ethernia.net/sys/name2key.php

I didn’t before either.

The CornerShot is some of the nifty tools the Israeli defense force are inventing in their free time hehe, it’s basically a sort of frame that will hold your weapon for you, it has a built in camera and the end can be turned at +-45 degrees or can be kept straight (so you don’t looks like an idiot when an enemy is in front of you. Well it’s a gun designed to shoot behind corners, door frames, windows, etc… Without exposing yourself.

Here is a little YouTube video for those that aren’t afraid to learn something today.

Okay, Obviously it’s a cool toy. Now to get in the thick of the subject, i decided to try to build it for Armed Assault. And here you can see my work in progress pictures in all their glory.

Not bad i guess, lots of molded plastic on this thing. It’s the hi-resolution version that i will use to make the normal maps (and at worst case i will have a nice folding butt stock i can recycle in something else)

Just thought i should share my first SL/Youtube video

Some might wonder about the way i work in SL, here is a little insider picture to show you the work involved in creating the buckled latex corset.

Okay , impressed? well this is the “mold” that i used to make, it or, actually a detail from it. Of course Sl being what it is , not a lot of the details remain once put into 2D. But you have a little idea now on how i work and how much time is invloved in an outfit.

just a little 3D project i started —> ak 47 receiver

Since i do not plan to limit the dead realm sky city just to the KDC shop i started building a metal bridge that expand to reach a second rock formation.

Though i don’t know yet what will be on the second island…

Note: Since the light in dead realm is set super dark and there is no glowing crystals around the bridge, i changed the color contrast in photoshop so “something” can be seen.

don’t get your foot eaten by this one :p

total mess of random informations i write/collect and that you can contribute too, if you seek something to read, it’s here

in homage to the universe of Richard B. Riddick, i am building a space detainment center in dead realm.

Considering the quite weak frequentation of ethernia.net i guess that nobody really noticed the change, i just finished the migration to a new web host, ME, in fact rather than renting a shared webhost for a revolting amount, i am now renting a physical server in a collocation, it has a pretty good hardware and open the way to new interesting possibilities and challenges.
