Hiya, I told ya I'd give you a bit of an update. I'm working hard and trying to do stuff. It's just not working so well. I cannot wait until June 10th or so. I am planning to work for for my old boss on some things he wants finished from my old project. I'm going to look for a job also. I'm also going to start on the first part of my N-part affordable housing revolution. The first part will be not too revolutionary, but rather just silly. Click here to see what my Part 1 is going to entail. So you see, it'll be pretty simple.
Aha, it's not even a week before I closed down JF and I have a new Making Of JF for those who disbelieved my statement. Oh, you might wonder why I put my statement in video. I am hoping to make it be the semi-secure format for messaging. It will keep FBI/CIA/NSA/INS/DEA/etc from reading it. They have to listen to it and/or watch it. That takes time. Man hours. If we bombard the airwaves with video that they have to watch each piece, they'll have to let stuff go from people that they don't think are dangerous. After I write this, they won't let stuff from me go. But since I'm a pacifist anarchist, they'll be wasting lots of man-hours to watch all my lame arse dance videos. Hahaha... Video also ensures the viewer that the real Javantea created it. If you read JF one day and it says: "Hi, this is Jav, I'm planning a big rally to help divert police from a terrorist act that I'm planning." You will know that the FBI has infiltrated the website and plans to kill you. Not like they don't already, but you aren't setting off your incindentaries, yet, are you? Maybe you should just for good measure. Anything that isn't in your head should get there quick like via hyponaedia, super-speed reading, or learning through osmosis. Next week, I'll give you another JF with updates.
Oof. JF is down, but not out. I'm going to focus on school only for two weeks. If you're a savvy web surfer, you should see my mangled face below. If not, click here. It's only 376 kB, so don't worry.
A thousand more apologies for more missing Making Of JF pages. I'm in one of those creative slumps. It's all my university's fault. They expect far too much from me. Of course, it's my fault that I'm taking 22 credits. If I pass all of my classes, it'll be the first time in the history of the universe. On to the picture and the lesson. This is Los Angeles 2014 minus a lot of details. It has the main things: buildings, a geodesic dome, sky, and stoplights. The buildings are shameful as usual. The streetlights are beautiful yet almost completely hidden. The geodesic dome is pixellated big time, but what more can a poor boy do? I like the semi-transparency because it gives a decent presence of the dome. The new part of the equation is the buildings and sky in the background. I just threw a bunch of rectangles randomly onto a texture and there it is. The sky has a gradient, but you can't see it for two reasons: it's a soft gradient and two gradients added look like one gradient (light is the other gradient). The good thing about this technique that I'm using now is that how many times will I actually be able to make a full scenery picture in JF? Never, so it is a moot point of whether the scenery looks terrible. I'll leave that for JF Final Draft.
