Finally! A piece of software sorely missed!

Keeping my (one) Sculpt-A-Day promise has been kinda hard since switching to OS X, seeing as Mudbox is Windows only, ZBrush 3 hasn’t been ported to OS X yet, and Modo I haven’t found the time or patience to master…

Few days ago I decided to give Parallels Desktop a try, after struggling with a sloppy VMware Fusion and CrossOver. I booted off of my dusty XP drive, installed Mudbox, and to my surprise I found it running like a charm! My memory may be failing me but I feel tempted to say it’s running just as smooth as it did natively on Windows XP, which should be quite possible since the program runs mostly on CPU and RAM-power.

Then, after the success of Mudbox I decided to take ZBrush 3 and 3D Studio Max for a spin…

Bringeth a little tear to me eye, the awesomeness of Parallels.

… ’cause the Mozilla Corporation says so!

It’s official.
With 8 002 530 downloads, they managed to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloads in 24 hours.

Congrats to the Mozilla Corporation and a pat on the back to everyone who helped!

We did it! We set a Guinnes World Record.

And it’s done!

I was nowhere near 1st place but that wasn’t what I was going for since Ibiza ain’t my cup o’ tea exactly. Got around 60 stars however, so if I’m lucky I’ll be winning something sweet when they start drawing the prizes (or did they already? whatever…)

I’d like to thank all you buddy boosters who took your time to boost me during this period. I tried my best boosting all of you back each day, and I hope it helped out in the end ;)

Now, I don’t know nothing about how the movie goes because stupid ol’ Norway ain’t getting it until late, late next month (August 29th) so this comparison is purely based on visuals/aesthetics.

I’ll be creating a wallpaper pack soon with some resolution and grading variations.

Feeling a bit tired? Here’s a cool refreshing beverage:

In the meantime, while waiting for your balloon to exit the site, please take a breather, post a comment, let me hear how it’s going or just say hello.

Oh, and do you need a buddy boost perhaps? Boost me (I’ll take your word for it), post the link to your balloon and I’ll boost you in return for the favor.
If I happen to be all boosted out for the day, fear not. Just let me know and I’ll boost you anyway :)

Buddy boost me using the button in the sidebar here or @ http://www.playballoonacy.com/show/eda9c2b17ce04a4289d1e26ef2e09d12

Now, good luck and may the bestest balloon win! ;)

I might just have to steal Pixeloo’s idea though and try this out for myself as well, perhaps both “untooned” and “beaded” — call it an unofficial collaboration if you will :)

The gallery is currently 100% plugin-independent which is always a good thing. I also have a lot more control over it now since it’s all built manually with pages.
But I couldn’t find any guides on how to do it so I’m thinking maybe I should write a little guide on how I did it in case anyone would like to try it out for themselves(?)

Another Oddworld habitant, this time the Scrab. But that’s not all folks, I’ve been having some fun creating other various creatures too, and I’m betting you might recognize the squiggly tentacles in this group of what I’ve created so far:

I’m loving FF3, it just feels so much smoother, faster and finally it integrates well with the Mac theme natively, all compared to FF2.

Awesome work - we’re almost there!

So I got the Spore Creature Creator (Demo) for Mac yesterday. And, yeah, I know I’m late but I’ve been putting off updating to OS X 10.5.3 for some time now. Anyways, I’m a big fan of Oddworld and thought this game fits the theme perfectly, thus here’s my attempt at Munch, or a Munch-like creature at least. The demo is pretty limited so this is as close as I could, using some dirty tricks to get the eyes and mouth half-assed done.
