Vacation
By Smoke
Published: June 26, 2008

 

Just so y'all know, I'll be gone from this Saturday (the 28th) to the 12th of July. My girlfriend (Jenn) and I are taking our families to a cottage for two weeks. Figured I'd post this now as I won't have much time for computer stuff before we leave.

Every time the fam has gone to the cottage, I've only ever gone for 1 week due to work; so this time around, I'm going for two. I am taking a computer with me so I can get a little bit of work done durring down-time (if it rains or whatever). If only I had a laptop as powerful as these things... dangit.

I'm honestly a little worried about mom since this'll be the first time she's ever been away somewhere without dad. But with having to take care of her mother for the past few years and losing both her mother and my dad last year, she really needs to get away.

Anyway, the forum'll be offline until I return to ensure that nothing more goes wrong, and I do have someone watching the site to fix it if it gets defaced again... hopefully we'll be alright though.

See y'all in July! And since I won't be here, Happy Canada Day! and have a great 4th of July for the Americans!

Defacing This Site
By Smoke
Published: June 23, 2008

To whoever is defacing the site... and has suceeded twice; get a friggin' life. What did I ever do to you (or your group or whatever)?

This is what I get from the general public for being a nice guy and helping people over the years? BS.


And to whoever sent the message through the Contact page of the site, please resend your message. Something went wrong with the system and I don't know who sent it. Plus no PayPal payment was received, so that would be why the download didn't work... ?

And Another...
By Smoke
Published: June 20, 2008

Before I call it a night, here's another set... Same deal as the other ones posted.
I'm not sure what the name of the rims are, so we'll call them the Superleggera rims since that's the model I've seen them on in real life.
They were made originally for the Lamborghini project through RPM3D.

What's Wrong With Me?
By Smoke
Published: June 19, 2008

Three new things in one day? What's up with that?

I had these modeled a while ago (some of you may remember from the Silverado) but I wasn't happy with them, so never they were never finished - until today. I gave it a complete overhaul and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Luckily I didn't have to do anything to the tires (look at the treads! Would you want to redo those? lol).

Same as the two wheels below, they come with everything except an environment or lights, so they must be merged with a full scene.

 
Diamo 8 Karat & Goodyear Wranglers

To see a really big version of them, click on ^that^, then click again on the small image. Same goes for the other wheels posted today.

Finally Something New!
By Smoke
Published: June 19, 2008

Finally I have some new stuff to post. Even though these were made while working on other projects (the Charger and Justins' Mustang). I've posted the BZO Scorpion and American Racing - Dale Jr Signature "Killer" rims for sale.

Both come with the new BFGoodrich gForce T/A tires, full brakes and OBJ versions in case you use an older version of Max. And they're both still stacked (meaning you can go back and edit the tire tread if you need to). Only the brake disc is finalized.

Downloads are Back
By Smoke
Published: June 9, 2008

Downloads are back... well some of them. I had to redo the whole database. The @#$%ers who made the plugin never got back to me so I figured it out myself. Probably screwed it up along the way and didn't need to redo it, but at least it's working. Might be a while before all the files are available again though.
Another crappy part, all files lost their ratings and download count. I could fake the count to go back to how it used to be, but it'll look weird with the dates. So everything's back to 0.

Oh and I probably won't post the custom paints again. Hardly anyone was downloading them, and they had old decals on them anyway. What I might do is post a couple PSD's. Stay tuned for that one.

Sorry about that.

Problem with Downloads
By Smoke
Published: June 3, 2008

For some reason, the site update screwed with the download section. I'm waiting for a reply from the people who made the PayPal plugin, but for now, all models for sale have been taken offline.

New Look
By Smoke
Published: May 31, 2008

Hope you guys like it. I'm still customizing it here and there.

If only I knew enough about web design that I could make my own skin.... I have to just stick with customizing someone elses.

Have to redo the forum design too... what a pain.

Spring Cleaning
By Smoke
Published: May 29, 2008

Just in case your login doesnt work anymore (if you haven't logged in within a year of today's date), your account has been deleted.

Approx 2000 users were in that, and the "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" group.
If you're still awaiting, please create an account again. I've disabled the need for me to manually approve new users, so at least that'll go quicker.

Be sure to check your junk mail folder for the confirmation link too.... it happens.

More changes...
Avatar size increased
Signature images fixed (why didn't anyone tell me they weren't working?)
Select models updated and prices increased (others will follow as they are updated)
Making this page look nicer

I plan to redesign site graphics soon too... I've been tired of this design for a long time and she needs a facelift desperately. But please be patient on that one.

Expect Some Changes...
By Smoke
Published: April 17, 2008

Ok I'm gonna start looking for another host. The amount of DB and other errors since they "upgraded" is a bit rediculous. I'm not sure when it'll happen but it will...

Also, I might start selling things on TurboSquid or 3D02 or another site like that so the items available for sale on here may be disappearing...
The prices would likely double due to their site fees and whatnot (they take ~50% of the sale). I can't very well sell stuff on here for half the price that I do on there. Business (this site anyway) just isn't doing so well.
