4 years since my last journal? Lol ooops? My how DeviantArt's features have changed! Well I'll keep this as short as I can and spare anyone taking notice of this having to read some long drawn out 'book'. I miss porting objects to xps. I do but I"m not sure when i'll be able to start up again. That isnt my way of saying i'm completely done because anything is possible but rather the means to do so are just out of my reach right now. My computer I used to use was fried some time ago and what i have now is just enough to get me by. However a new upgrade is always on the horizon so you never know, one day you might find yourself seeing something new. So there's hope!
I will say that I might start uploading some works from my usage of Xps + Blender (maybe i'll give Keyshot another go sometime too). A friend of mine started to use it and in helping them get adjusted, I was learning new things too. Because quite honestly I knew nothing outside of blender 2.4 lol. It's very possible even that learning about the latest blender build(s) can help me down the road should I become able to port objects again. Win win?
So there you have it! Even though it's been ages since I've uploaded anything, I figured it was worth mentioning for those curious, since any activity that comes from me from here on out for a while might just be uploaded artworks ^_^

Possible W.I.P's (?)
1 min read
Sooo recently, I've been able to get my hands on the tools for Kingdom Hearts 2, FFX and X-2.
I don't port anything with bones anymore. Just to tough for me T_T so as I said in another journal post, I'm sticking to objects and sceneries for now. However unlike Dissidia and Type-0, putting up sceneries is nearly impossible. Every game is different so don't expect much more than objects for now.
I'm always open to any help in furthering my knowledge of this stuff. *hint hint* lol any help would be appreciated.
Moving on, with all that being said, I've decided to start on some objects from KH 2, FFX/X2 and BBS. Not all at once but every so often.
Maybe weapons if they haven't been released but mostly various objects like what you've seen in my Crisis Core object packs.
If you want a specific object (or scenery if you're looking for Dissidia, Type-0 stuff), you are welcome to ask and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks for reading!

Overdue journal is overdue.
Alright prepare for a reader because I've got much to cover and I'll try to be as brief as possible..
First things first, yeah, I'm not really 'back' with porting models. I still have the few games you've seen releases from in the past. However thanks to someone mrfuzzlebum.deviantart.com/ nice enough to give permission to let me TRY to port the objects he ripped from a game, I do have some more ideas in mind. Sadly though, I've run into a problem when trying to port them to Xnalara and I've no clue how to fix them so yeah, that's on hold for the time being.
On the flip side though, I do have ideas for more object packs from a different game. But out of respect for others who port from specific games, more than others, I still need to get permission to do a project from the source they're known to work with mostly.
As far as models with bones, I believe I'm done with that. I quite honestly don't understand half the tutorials out there and I'd rather not go "begging" to someone to teach me step by step. They have enough to do as it is, I'm sure. "Stick to what you know" as they say. So I do apologize if you're looking for certain models with bones. Until I can learn more, those are not an option.
Onto something more important I believe; respect. Now I've noticed lately there's been a lot of removal or "notice" toward others and their work, here on DA. I'm honestly not going to touch anything that has to do with the admins. But the point of saying this is that the people who do take the time to port models with or without bones, sceneries, objects, etc do put a lot of effort into that. And even there are those who make photomanips often put hard work into their "art". It really sucks when you take a look at someone's work, actually like it but find no credit at all for anything. I give credit to the proper owners of anything I put up here and more importantly, the actual owner of said work that it came from. Companies, creators, etc etc etc. It's a real shame that people don't hardly do this.
I noticed this coming up with MMD stuff as well. Mostly with things like people who convert models to the MMD format when they were released for Xnalara. I for one, could care less if someone does that because quite honestly, there is no way we can stop it from happening when we're the ones who put said model for download anyway. Be it here or linked elsewhere. But I know it's much easier to convert, than what may be expected. The least a person could do is give credit to the one who put the model up on DA in the first place if they're not going to ask permission to convert it (some people do that), as well as put the actual credit to the company who created the model overall. Like Square Enix, Capcom, etc.
That's just my little rant on the matter. I sincerely don't believe in people claiming work as their own IF they did not create it in the first place, so yeah there you go. There's more to explain and say but I'd rather this not get too long.
Finally. Drama. Seriously, "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all." yeah ok this is DA where criticism gets thrown left and right but as far as myself goes, if you honestly are just going to try and discourage what I do, then don't say anything period. I am still trying to learn with models and such for Xnalara and that process. Sure I'm not as quick as others and I DO have other things to do besides sit and try every model I can work with, but if you just want to tell me that if I don't know how to do something, don't do it then by all means you sit and try learning something on your own and tell me you won't have issues. It's not as easy as it seems
I could go on and on, but I won't lol. I just had to get all this out there for now.
Regarding one final note here is a very short list of games I have that I really want to learn how to extract sceneries from. If anyone can point me in the direction of a How too.. , that would be great.
Final Fantasy X/X-2
Final Fantasy XII
Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, RE: CoM
There you go, bye for now

Back, with good news and bad news.

^^^As the title states, I AM back. FINALLY. Clearly I've missed alot. I could only get bits of pieces of what I missed when I logged on, on occasion but I'm here now.
However with the GOOD NEWS of my return, there comes bad news and I'm afraid, it isnt that great.
The bad news is I'm out of luck for doing models. At least none with bones anymore. I just can't get how to do it right and the tutorials I've found are hard to understand. I've ran out of source material to extract sceneries and objects from as well. And I have yet to really find anyone willing to give a step by step how to of other sources I may have.
T__T;;
So yeah, I'm going to have to go back to just doing pics with the modesl I have for now. Should things change then you'll obviously know about it but until then, yeah I'm stuck.

Ugh it's been a rough couple weeks for me. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, I'm still here. I've just been caught up between being sick and dealing with some things in my life that have gotten me a bit down.
I will be getting back to models soon. I promise. I just need some time to get myself situated before I can focus on that stuff again. Not to worry though. I still check in here when I can, I just can't upload anything right now. I'll need a few weeks to go still.
T__T
man this sucks.
But yeah, just an FYI for everyone.
