Dtoid fetish enhanced: Now screensaver (soon)
Epitaph | 6:51 PM on 07.09.2007 4 comments




The other day I was toying around with a little 3D engine but, even though I'm a programmer, I got really bored in no time. The bundled demos were like... boring: BSP levels, shaders, animations and, you know, all that crap. So I decided to give my test some Dtoid punch, and since I wasn't bored enough to try to make a full blown game, I decided to code a simple screensaver.

So, I fired up Wings3D (don't look at me like that, that's the only 3d tool I can... kind of use), absolutely sure of being able to make a nice Destructoid head. And then I realized why I'm a coder: I suck big time at any art-related task. The code is pretty much ready, but my model simply sucks, I won't release anything that looks like that.

But, sooner or later, I should release something. And don't mind the GNOME screenshot, it will run on Windows, XP for sure, no way I'm installing Vista.

Edit: I know, I know, the model is unfinished, I'm not going to leave it like that. It's just that I feel stupid when I try to use a 3D modelling app.
