Back to Yugioh Projects again...

I never did quit on Yugioh. But a lot of people believed I did, especially after watching my "Burn of the Yugioh" trailer without knowing of the real reason.

So today I was bored at work, my students didn't show up, there's not really much I can do with a old damaged laptop, while the Internet here is way more slower than it should be. And that is really why I'm writing a blog entry on Janime.

So let me just mention what I've been up to and what I have planned.
I started learning about rendering fur on 3Dsmax recently, so I decided to attempt to make a Monster that has fur. I had chosen Kuriboh, but I ended up working and experimenting on another monster. I won't mention which because it's part of my "Guess Who's that Yugioh Card" bit on my 3D Models thread.

So last night something unexpected happened. My neighbor(who is stuck in bed after his operation) calls me and tells that the laptop is not responding (he's borrowing mine) when he tried to play Power of Chaos. Normally I wouldn't expect him to play Yugioh (rarely non-english speaking people in this country ever play) but he had been playing it some years back on someone's pc after I had installed POC there. Even surprising is that his wife also wanted to play. So I ended up giving them a lesson on how the game works, and lent them some of my salvaged cards to practice with. Additionally they are now helping me with an old project that I stopped, and that's translating the game into Singhala. But I said first we'll finish translating POC, and if that works then they can continue to do the colossal task.

And finally the only other Yugioh related thing I'm doing is thinking about making a new prop duel disk. Not for playing on but just a cosplay addon. I already bought a few tiny motors to control the moving parts, but I'm still debating on the materials I'll use for the base and structure. The goal is to make it look like an Academy duel disk. We'll see how far I go with attempting this project.

That's about all I got to say today. Right now I want to go home because I got a call from the phone company that the phone line was checked and fixed and that now it should work... meaning I can use the INTERNET at home... yay.
