The truth behind 3D ribbons


[Here comes another project]

Artist: Oh! a ribbon I can do that in just a minute.
Coordinator: Okay! then lets do the 1st CG presentation tomorrow morning.
Artist: Oki Dokes! lets get it on! (Smiling).. ^_^

[While doing the ribbon]
Artist: Dammit! Why the hell is it twisting like hell?! [Adjust, Adjust, Adjust]
[5 Hours have passed and still the ribbon is out of control!]
Grrr! Its just a ribbon why can't I get it right! Now I'm in big trouble. +_+ [Adjust, Adjust, Adjust]

[2 hours left just before the presentation]
Coordinator: Hey! are we done yet?
[No sleep, and still doing the ribbon]
Artist: I need some more time.
[Sweating like he ran for 10km]
Artist: I thought it was just a ribbon but I was wrong!

[Baboooms]
FACTs:

A ribbon floats smoothly in the air. Curls dynamically! Dances in the wind.
Looking at it, may look so easy to do BUT actually NOT.
The very first question is, How do I make a ribbon?
You make a planar surface. You do the extrude and adjustments. SIMPLE!
Second question is, How do I make it dynamic?
[Here comes the TERROR part]
This is the stage where a lot of things happen. The unexpected twisting. Uncontrollable shrinking of the ribbon. You want the ribbon to go here but a different thing happens and other worst cases.

Even the simplest 3D stuff like ribbon takes time to do and should be taken seriously. There are a lot of things to consider.

Greentenial Run 2k11

I was very excited with the run that even before the race started one of my co-runner found myself already sweating.. lol! It was a tough race specially the uphill so i end up walking but as soon as I get into the downhill road I do the sprint. Cameras where all over the place. Everytime I get the chance to pose in the camera I really give it a big smile! The reason was the prize behind the smiling.. You get the chance of winning 10k pesos if you're the chosen Best Pic of the Run.. After all the pain, a glimpse of the finish line had lead me to burst into adrenaline rush.. I run with all the power that I got left, leaving behind the other runners in front of me.  Unluckily I didn't get any medal but then again I find it a great success. The pain lasted for an hour but the fulfillment was something to be treasured for a lifetime. Looking forward to another race.

Time for the Pictures and Videos.. Here it is:

In my spare time I play computer games. Actually, MMORPGs are my kinda type of games.
