Com-eh-Roid

Trevor Lemon — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

I had the idea for this after watching an episode of Stargate Universe. I really like the effect they have of the.. I'll just call it space wash, that flows over the ships force field. It reminded me of the cloud vapor that flows over an airplane. So my brain got working on how I could achieve such an effect, but first I needed something for the effect to flow over. I decided I'd go with a mixture [...Read More]

CE v3

Trevor Lemon — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

It's finally done! A little while after I finished version 2 of my site I kept thinking to myself "man, it'd be nice to have that, or this, or that", and so on. So I've been taking notes of things that liked, or new features that I wanted to implement. During those couple of years I was applying band-aids to my all Flash site so that I could post different kinds of content. For example, my old sit [...Read More]

Mends Music Player

Trevor Lemon — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

It's been years since I've had to build a music player, but ever since Adobe came out with compute spectrum I've wanted to try messing around with one again. Alas nothing ever came up that afforded me the opportunity to give it a go.

That is until I made the opportunity myself. While building myMends I knew that at some point I was going to have to either come up with a way to link to music or bu [...Read More]

Gl�ss Vegas

Trevor Lemon — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

So I've been watching a lot of the NBC show Las Vegas, and the first season had a lot of people throwing CG dice. And I kept thinking to myself, "man, I could make something more realistic than that". So I put my money where my synisism was and modeled some dice. That was probably easiest part of what turned into a fairly time consuming project.

After the model came the textures, which turned int [...Read More]

Weld-Designed

Trevor Lemon — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

A talented friend of mine has been welding sculptures for a while now. He was going to be having a show so he hit me up to put a website together for him. It's pretty basic; it's been a while since he's done anything with html so I put some simple controls together so that he could go in and edit stuff pretty easily.

In the upload form he can select from a list of galleries that already exist (it [...Read More]

Digital Clock

Trevor Lemon — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

I was watching an episode of Dr. Who, the one where the "Master" takes over the world, turns the Doctor into one of those Harry Potter servant lookin' dudes, and is flying around in a big sky ship. Well in the background there's this digital clock that's always counting away. And I noticed that instead of just blinking to the next number, it appeared to flip, like an old analog clock. So I thought [...Read More]

NWEA bus stop

Trevor Lemon — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

I had this crazy-long interview process with NWEA (North West Education something something) for a job. Part of the process was coming up with an animation that they'd give you the criteria for and you'd have a couple days to do it. Once I got the info it took me about 8 hours to come up with this. The description read ..

- A school-age child wearing a backpack, walking to a bus stop.
- The anima [...Read More]

Holy Bat Particles Batman!

Trevor Lemon — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

I was watching the Dark Knight and had the thought "I bet I could make particle system of bats", so I did. Granted it's not as complicated as the ones they used. I'm still learning how to program particles to do my bidding, but once I do, I might update this post with some sworming bats.

The process was fairly basic. I found some refs of bats that I could model to. Built a simple bat model, didn' [...Read More]

Charger Crash

Trevor Lemon — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

I was in the mood to play around with a Charger model that I built a while ago. I rigged it up so that the steering wheel had proper locking rotation of the front wheels, and so that when you moved the main controller back and forth the wheels would spin appropriately. There's also a control to disable the auto-roll of the wheels for animating brake locks and such.

So I had this car I wanted to p [...Read More]

Google Favs

Trevor Lemon — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

So this is one of those projects that started before it's time, about three years before it's time to be specific. The original app used some screen caps I took of the Portland area from Google. Then I found the general X and Y equivalants to what the locations latitude and longitude would be on the fake map.

Three years later, I watch a tutorial by Lee Brimlow where he explains how to encorperat [...Read More]
