Hey KP
Where's your blog gone???
I check it out all the time to get my slice of KP inspiration.
Hey KP
Where's your blog gone???
I check it out all the time to get my slice of KP inspiration.
Thank you all for the kind words! Really is awesome to hear from you all
Hey everyone! Here is a character I recently completed for 3DArtist Magazine. You can find a full breakdown of how I constructed her in issue 47, just released! I had a lot of fun making the character, writing the article, as well as completing an interview for another section of the magazine! Very exciting
If you buy a copy for yourself, you will also get a bunch of my models and brushes, including IMM brushes! Hope you all like!
Now to answer some questions -
koro - What you saw was the Spiral brush to get that sudden spin on the sculpt. My settings are practically default, what I change is the positioning settings, I make their numbers larger, creating less movement and keeping the sculpt centered in the camera's view.
O/MI - I use a wide range of brushes, but typically Clay Buildup, Dam_Standard, Inflate, and Standard. That is for when I'm doing creature work mostly. For hard surface stuff I will use Clip Curve, Polish, Pinch and Dam_Standard again.
Nyx702 - the material you saw was a modified Skinshade04 with custom lighting. The scene was actually kind of broken when I loaded it, I forgot to change some settings before I took it to Siggraph haha.
laurie - My blog moved to Ikameka.blogspot.com

Wow awesome design! keep it up!

oh man, saw thsi akready on your da, but i will say here again, great work
the whole design is really fresh, only thing you could do is push for smaller detail on the folds and define the ones around her crotch and legs, but i guess you had a time limit to finish thsi one ;]
Awesome sculpt! The elongated forms make the concentrated high detail areas pop. The face is great and I love the mask.
The suit reminds me of Trevor Claxton's 'Baby Cakes' concept. Great stuff.
Amazing, I find a lot of models a little bit repetitive, but this model is beautiful.
I don't know why but I love it a lot, thank you for sharing because
now I feel like I need to emulate the feeling I get from looking at your work
Thanks for the feedback!
slocik, I think you are right. I wanted to have it feel a lot thicker, but adding more information to the wrinkles and their form would have helped it pop for sure.
dingle001 - I totally see what your saying regarding Babycakes concept, I love that piece! Hopefully not too many similarites?
DAYA - Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy the character
Love it!
This just too cool. Love the character does the have a back story? keep up the awesomeness
the woman robert is great!
no doubt that this will be the top.
only i want to know is that the woman robert contains a lot of subtools?
thanks kurt
this character is awesome ...i like it so much i would put it on top row!
Sweet design!!! I like it, keep it up!
Best regards mutte

Wow, what an amazing character!
The only thing that throws me off is that the mask seems to be completely seperate from the rest of the materials and textures used in the rest of the character though, makes it really stick out a bit.
Hey KP
Great work on that last sculpt.
Thanks for the link to your blog, great info on there.

if you have an iPhone, you probably carry it around with you everywhere. But what about holding life's other tools? Like a blunt, one-hitter, or pen? This iHit iPhone case protects your iPhone and has a secret compartment for them.
It doesn't matter if you're a nature loving hippie or a suit wearing yuppie, your iPhone is typically within arm's reach. So why not expand that sort of accessibility with an iPhone case that can store a cylindrical object (get creative as you want). It's such an obvious solution to an obvious problem!
It's called the iHit iPhone 4 Case and is currently a Kickstarter project that'll cost you $20 to get a case, $25 to get a case and a one hitter. Support, people, because there's no app that can get you high. [iHit]

First Take: iPad Air steals show with familiar feel
SAN FRANCISCO – It was a different venue, but the same vibe, for Apple.
From a snazzy theater at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts here, the new iPad Air and MacBooks were unfurled amid splashy videos (at least five), a finely tuned stage show and lots of whoops and hollers from a partisan crowd. Vintage Apple.
As these events (pep rallies?) go, it was a momentum builder in a market that is increasingly competitive for the hearts, minds and wallets of consumers worldwide.
A long line of expectant attendees waited an hour outside to be reminded by Apple CEO Tim Cook inside that Apple is "not slowing down on innovation."
PHOTOS:Apple unveils new products
But with Google, Samsung, Microsoft and others fashioning new smartphones, tablets and – yes – smartwatches every other week, anything short of a major Apple product breakthrough has the whiff of a holding pattern That is the burden Apple carries, perhaps unfriendly, with so much press attention and attendant hype.
Wall Street reacted with a shrug Tuesday. Apple shares were flat, at $520.50.
Product news preceding iPad Air and its clever TV ad had the feel of an opening act. Think Academy Awards ceremony, with a fast start followed by a long lull before a big finish. The thinner, 1-pound iPad Air was clearly a crowd-pleaser and should rack up healthy holiday sales.
Equally important, Apple hewed to two themes throughout the 90-minute production: Free and today. "We are turning the industry on its ear," Cook said.
Yet with the market awash in products with comparable features, Apple needs to alter its game plan to reclaim some of its turf eroded to Android.

My left wrist grinds like a cement mixer thanks to my numerous automotive altercations while riding at night and is a testament to the importance of proper visibility. With the Supaheroe cycle jacket, you'll be visible from space—or at least three car-lengths.
The Superheroe is the brainchild of Wolfgang Langeder, CEO and Designer of Utope clothing, working in conjunction with the stretchable circuits division of Fraunhofer IZM. The cotton jacket integrates stretchy 64 RGB-LED flexible displays across its front, shoulders, and back. These displays create a pattern that changes based on readings from an integrated acceleration sensor and 3D-gyroscope, allowing the clothing to match the movements of the rider. It can even sync with a smartphone and display a special pattern whenever there's an incoming call.
There's no word on pricing or availability yet, but Utope does expect the jacket to hit the market by the end of 2012. [Utope via Gizmag, Ubergizmo]

Real World article
(written from a Production point of view)
(written from a Production point of view)
For the DS9 episode of the same name, please see "Rules of Engagement".
Kirk squares off against the Klingons – in a battle he cannot win!
Rules of Engagement is a Pocket TOS novel – #48 in the numbered series – written by Peter Morwood. Published by Pocket Books, it was first released in February 1990.
Summary Edit
- From the book jacket
- A sudden revolution on the planet Dekkanar brings Captain Kirk and the USS Enterprise running to evacuate Federation personnel trapped there. But their orders from Starfleet are quite clear; the U.S.S. Enterprise is to assist in the evacuation, no more. No weapons are to be displayed, no shields raised, no shots fired.
- Meanwhile, halfway across the galaxy, an experimental Klingon warship sets forth on a mission of its own, a warship with hidden – and heretofore undreamed of – capabilities, commanded by a warrior who will stop at nothing to bring glory to his Empire – and restore his own lost honor.
- The Klingon ship's destination? The planet Dekkanar…
- Excerpts of copyrighted sources are included for review purposes only, without any intention of infringement.
Background information Edit
- Peter Morwood is married to fellow Star Trek author Diane Duane, with whom he co-wrote Rihannsu #2: The Romulan Way.
- Written before the explanation of the Klingon augment virus, the novel deals extensively with why Klingons from Star Trek: The Original Series looked differently from those of later eras. Specifically, the main Klingon character in the novel (Kasak) explains that he was an "Imperial Klingon" while those of the Original Series were "Klingon-Human fusions". Present at Deep Space Station K-7 during the events of "The Trouble with Tribbles", Kasak was blamed for the entire affair since he was "of pure blood" and "should have known better" even though he was only a midshipman at the time. The "Imperial race" Klingons are also mentioned in The IDIC Epidemic.
- James Kirk is depicted as a full admiral in the novel (contrary to the cover art), apparently having regained his flag rank after the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture yet still commanding the USS Enterprise. Most other novels set during the 2270s state that Kirk remained a captain while commanding a second five year mission and only became an admiral again after accepting his Starfleet Academy position as seen in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

- Spock
- First officer of the Enterprise.

Toor dal also known as arhar dal or split pigeon peas is one such pulse that is a pantry staple in most Indian kitchens. It is commonly used as the base for many of our South Indian preparations, the most common one in my home being Sambar.
My pantry is well stocked with a variety of dals but toor dal is the most-used one for sure. Dal is cooked in different ways in different homes and no two dal preparations from different kitchens or even the same kitchen for that matter, taste the same.
Here's a very simple and tasty dal from my kitchen made using toor dal and fenugreek (methi) leaves. There are a number of versions of methi dal in the blogosphere. And now here's mine!
1 cup toor dal/split pigeon peas/arhar dal
2 cubes frozen fenugreek/methi
½ red onion, chopped
1 tomato, cubed
½ tsp ginger paste
½ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp chilli powder
For the seasoning:
1 Tbsp oil
½ tsp mustard seeds
½ tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp white lentils/urad dal
A pinch of asafoetida/hing
Salt to taste.
Rinse the toor dal a couple of times and then cook it in about 3 cups of water after adding turmeric powder.
In a pan, heat the oil. Add all the ingredients for the seasoning.
To this add the chopped onions, sauté for 2 minutes. Then add the ginger paste & mix well.
Add the cubed tomatoes and cook for another 3 minutes or so.
Add the cubes of frozen methi leaves to the pan (no need for prior thawing, the heat will do the job) and cook for about 5 more minutes. Add ½ tsp of chilli powder to this and mix well.
When the dal is cooked, add it to the pan & bring the contents to a boil. (At this point you could add water to thin out the dal if you so desire.) Simmer on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Serve hot with rice, pickle & pappad.
This is my entry for JFI: Toor Dal being hosted by Linda who blogs at Out Of The Garden.
I am also sending this over to Easycrafts as my entry for her "Power" less cooking event.

Ramos happy to be back in Cincinnati
CINCINNATI -- Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos started his second game of the season on Saturday afternoon against the Reds at Great American Ball Park.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be a big deal. It was for Ramos, though, because Cincinnati is where he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last May 12 against the Reds, while going after a wild pitch from right-hander Jordan Zimmermann.
As he was going for the ball, Ramos' knee buckled and caused him to miss the rest of the season.
"It was one of those freak things," Zimmermann said. "I didn't [think] anything too serious was wrong. He had the MRI and all the damage [was there]. I'm definitely happy to have him back. He is great behind the plate. He has soft hands, [and presents a] big target. He is everything a pitcher could ask for."
Before Saturday's game, manager Davey Johnson told Ramos to go down on both knees if he had to go after a wild pitch or passed ball. One thing Ramos does differently is that he uses plastic cleats instead of wearing spikes. When Ramos was going after the wild pitch last year, his spikes were caught in the turf and caused the knee damage.
"I feel more comfortable with plastic cleats," Ramos said.
In his first game in Cincinnati, Ramos had a great game, hitting two home runs and driving in three runs in a 7-6 victory. Ramos is now 4-for-9 (.444) to start the season. It helps that he is in a crouch position while in the batter's box.
"He has been great ever since Day 1 of Spring Training," Johnson said about Ramos. "He is swinging the bat great, catching great and [doing] everything great."
Can one imagine how Ramos felt after hitting the home runs? Almost a year later, Ramos said he was excited to be back at Great American Ball Park and doesn't think about what happened last year.
"I know I got hurt here, but I forgot about it," Ramos said. "So today, I just [went] out there and [played] hard. It feels good at the plate, right now."

Some people choose to take out over 50s life cover, to cover the cost of their funeral. Over 50s cover provides a fixed amount lump sum on your death. However, you may pay far more in monthly premiums over your lifetime (up to the age of 90 in most cases) than the lump sum paid out on your death. The lump sum that is paid out may also not cover the full cost of the funeral when the time comes. If you miss a number of monthly payments, your over 50s cover could stop and you (or your family) may not get anything back.
Some people choose to put money into a savings account to cover their funeral costs. However this too could end up costing more money in the long run.
With a Co-op funeral plan, all the services within your chosen plan are fully guaranteed. So you're buying the funeral at today's prices, no matter how far in the future the funeral will take place. We even cover the full cost of third party fees on all of our plans, which no other national funeral plan provider in the UK does*. This includes officiant's and crematorium fees. Your family will also know exactly what you want for your funeral, saving them the anguish of having to make decisions at such a difficult time. Over 50s life cover or savings accounts aren't able to offer this.
If you want the certainty that the funeral costs will be covered, if they're included in your Co-op Funeral Plan, they will be guaranteed to be covered.

|Does it guarantee to pay for all the items you want including in your funeral?

*Our Set Burial Plans do not include the cost of the grave or lair, as in some parts of the country this can be as much as £5,000.

So the computation has finished (actually a few days ago) for degree 19. I've only yesterday gotten around to finishing a short paper (addendum) to post to arxiv, which I've done yesterday, see arXiv:1302.1441. The really funky thing is that there are so many sharp polynomials in degree 19. Up to symmetry there are 16 in odd degrees up to degree 17, yet there are 13 in degree 19. And two of the new ones are symmetric, which is actually surprising, that seems it should be hard to achieve if you think about how they are constructed. There's probably a bunch of interesting number theory that appears here. It should be fun to figure out what's going on there.
This was the first time a paper of mine got reclassified to a different archive on arxiv. I put it into algebraic geometry because well, the motivation comes from geometry, but it got stuck into comutative algebra. Which actually makes a lot more sense. Especially since none of the motivation from geometry appears in this writeup.
Degree 21 has been running for about a week. It will probably be running for the next year or so at which point I really expect it to just spit out only one polynomial which is the group invariant one we already know about. Which would be also kind of funky since then there would be two degrees with as few polynomials as possible and in between there would be a degree with the most polynomials we have found so far in any degree.

Office of the Attorney GeneralJohn J. Farmer, Jr., Attorney GeneralJerry Fischer, Director
"Hero Campaign" for Designated Drivers Kicks Off in Monmouth County
Snippet from Monmouth County Sheriff's Office Press Release:
"The John R. Elliott Foundation and New Jerseys Attorney General John J. Farmer, Jr. have enlisted the help of Monmouth County Sheriff Joseph W. Oxley to raise awareness about the important role designated drivers play in combating drunk driving. Bill Elliott, Chairman and founder of the "Hero Campaign," Attorney General Farmer and Sheriff Oxley traveled to the Court Jester restaurant on Main Street in Freehold, Wednesday, August 22, to launch the awareness campaign in Monmouth County.
The "Hero Campaign for Designated Drivers" was established by Bill Elliott, Egg Harbor Township, in memory of his son John R. Elliott. Navy Ensign Elliott, age 22, was killed by a drunk driver on July 22, 2000. The drunk driver had been arrested by State Police earlier in the evening and subsequently released to the custody of an adult acquaintance. The adult allowed the drunk driver to get back into his vehicle and to drive away, ultimately resulting in the crash that killed John Elliott.
The "Hero Campaign" teaches the importance of designated drivers by recognizing people who choose to remain sober, ensuring their friends return home safely. Local liquor establishments are asked to participate by displaying free "Hero Campaign" posters or window decals. When a designated driver is identified by the restaurant, complimentary soft drinks or coffee will be provided. Patrons and employees will also be encouraged to wear free blue and gold ribbons provided by the "Hero Campaign."
As part of a countywide initiative, the Monmouth County Sheriffs Office will assist Mr. Elliott and the Attorney General in recruiting local establishments to participate in the Hero Campaign. Currently, establishments throughout Monmouth County are in discussion to become charter "Hero Campaign" members, including the Court Jester in Freehold and Aberdeen, and Ashes restaurant and cigar club in Red Bank.
"Designated drivers save lives, and we are asking all of the licensed liquor establishments in Monmouth County to assist the Sheriffs Office and the Attorney Generals Office in raising awareness through the Hero Campaign," Monmouth County Sheriff Joseph W. Oxley said. "The charter member establishments have joined to help me recognize everyone who takes the responsibility to stay sober and keep drunk drivers from getting behind the wheel."

Are you confused by all the ads for "blazing fast" internet plans? Know the speed you need - for example, whether you need a fast speed for gaming, or whether a slower speed will do. Choosing the right broadband provider and plan for your needs can be complicated, but there are strategies for navigating the process.
A recent FCC survey found that 80 percent of broadband users in the United States don't know the speed of their broadband connection. Many people don't know what speed they are paying for, or what they are getting compared to what the broadband provider is claiming to offer.
Here's what you need to know about broadband speed and how to do a quick speed test. The FCC's Consumer Task Force offers these tips for making the best broadband decision for you:
- Know the speed you need - for example, whether you need a fast speed for gaming, or whether a slower speed will do.
- If you're choosing a broadband provider for the first time, consider speed, price, and service.
- Choose a service tier that offers the best value.
- Ask about the contract and hidden fees such as early termination fees.
- Factors like a slow router or computer, using the Web at peak times, or using high-bandwidth applications can slow down your connection.
- If your web connection seems too slow, and it's not due to one of the reasons above, call your broadband provider.
- If you're using wireless broadband, look at all your choices.

The body suit-clad humans you see above are the sheer embodiment of CES: faceless human billboards using their bodies to draw your attention to a product that you might otherwise walk right by. Don't pay attention to them, look at the headphones, look at the headphones, look at the headphones.

The Brimfield Police Department is a real thing in Brimfield, Ohio. "So what?" you might say. "Most towns have cops."
True. But every town doesn't have a police chief like Brimfield's Chief David Oliver.
Oliver has become well-known for using the department's Facebook page to take criminals down a few notches with his razor-sharp wit and sarcastic humor. But the latest — a takedown of Kayne West– might be the best thing on the Internet right now. A quote from Oliver's open letter to West, in which he tells Yeezus to "check yourself before your wreck yourself":
I read your interview and also watched it on video. You said:
"I'm just giving of my body on the stage and putting my life at risk, literally…and I think about it. I think about my family and I'm like, wow, this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something."

Rachel Zoe faces her toughest project yet – replacing her protégé.
The celebrity stylist and star of Bravo's "The Rachel Zoe Project" and her assistant Brad Goreski are amicably parting ways, People mag reported.
"I love Rachel and she's taught me everything I know," Goreski told People. "But there's a point where either I do it now or I'll never know what it's like to spread my wings and soar."
Goreski, 33, who has helped dress Cameron Diaz, Johnny Weir and other celebrities for red carpet events, was feted as a men's fashion icon in his own right in a New York Times profile earlier this month.
The piece described the often bow-tied Canadian native as a "zelig-like presence" at New York Fashion Week.
Goreski was promoted to style director at Rachel Zoe Inc. after his predecessor, Taylor Jacobson, got the ax ahead of "The Rachel Zoe Project's" recently concluded third season.
Zoe said when Goreski told her of his exit plans a month ago the pair "couldn't stop hugging and crying."
"He did this with such class and elegance," she told People. "And I get it. I just told him, 'I'm here for you always.'"

Guard Answers Calls in Weather-Battered States
By Air Force Master Sgt. Mike R. Smith
Special to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 12, 2008 - National Guard members in four states were called out by their governors to assist civil authorities today after tornadoes crossed the southwestern United States on May 10 and flooding on the Delaware coast left communities in need of emergency assistance.
Since May 7, the National Weather Service has confirmed at least 42 tornadoes in the southern plains and the southeastern and Middle Atlantic regions of the nation, with the strongest tornado recorded May 10 as an F-4. It developed from a super-cell storm that tracked through three states.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency reported that Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma and South Carolina were affected by severe weather during the weekend, with at least 22 confirmed deaths, many homes destroyed and thousands of people without power. The Guard also is responding to flooded areas in Delaware after heavy rains on Mother's Day.
In Oklahoma, Gov. Brad Henry called out the National Guard to assist emergency responders after five confirmed tornadoes touched down in the state. At least 25 Army Guard members are providing security support in the town of Picher after an F-4 tornado churned up a 63-mile swath of damage from Oklahoma to Missouri.
Soldiers reportedly are assisting local law enforcement in securing the area, which includes routes in and out of the town four miles south of the state's border with Kansas. An Army Guard UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter crew is flying aerial assessment missions for the governor.
In Arkansas, where at least two tornadoes touched down and tracked through the central part of the state the evening of May 10, homes were destroyed in the town of Stuttgart.
"We've deployed 50 Guardsmen from the Guard's 875th Engineer Battalion," said Air Force Maj. Keith Moore, a National Guard spokesman. Moore said the soldiers traveled from their station in Jonesboro and are providing security support at traffic control points and conducting patrols to prevent looting.
The soldiers are working two shifts during an around-the-clock operation and are expected to be on station through May 14. The Army Guard is flying Gov. Michael Beebe and emergency management agency personnel on a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter out of Camp Robinson to assess damaged areas.
"This is one of the key roles of the Guard, being a dual-mission force, that we are here to support our local communities [and] respond to the governor," Moore said.
After severe storms and tornadoes swept through southwestern Missouri, nearly 20 Army Guard soldiers deployed on state active duty to support Gov. Matt Blunt in his emergency response efforts for the towns of Newtonia and Grany. The soldiers are assisting local law enforcement agencies with security. Eight soldiers and two military vehicles deployed to each town.
In Delaware, tidal flooding and heavy rains led to Guard members deploying in six light medium tactical vehicles and one 2.5-ton truck to assist in flood evacuations at South Bowers Beach, Kitts Hummock Beach, Woodland Beach and Slaughter Beach.
"The LMTVs can carry up to 15 people and have a high ground clearance, which allows them operate in up to 4 feet of water," said Lt. Col. Len Gratteri, Delaware National Guard spokesman. Gratteri said the state's Guard members are deployed from the 262nd Maintenance Company, the 261st Signal Brigade and the 72nd Troop Command.
The Delaware Guard is coordinating emergency assistance through the state's emergency management agency with its Joint Operations and Emergency Operations Centers. A shelter area is also set up in Kent County.

November 15, 2013: Talking to Kids about the Environment
Click here to listen to John and Heather discuss
the importance of effectively communicating
environmental issues to kids.
Kids are curious, and want to soak up all the knowledge they can about our natural world. (Did you know? More than one third of the average first words for babies are names of animals!)
Yet, the approach one needs to take in order to effectively communicate about the environment is very different depending on the age. To avoid an overwhelming fear of large ecological problems such as oil spills or rain forest destruction – also known as "ecophobia" – parents and educators should first teach kids all there is to love about the environment and its many animal inhabitants.
Click here to listen to Heather describe how establishing an early love of the natural world can make a lasting impact in YOUR kid's life!

Aw Scribbles, sorry to hear about your loss. And sorry to hear the ski season is over; next year, eh? Great news about the new job for the Hubster! And two weeks you're shipping him off? Hey, maybe we'll catch one another on chat?
And I am taking vitamins - yes, so that's good advice. As for rest; I want to do a bit of writing before I fold myself into my sheets tonight. I think my having no energy to write is one of the reasons I'm a bit edgy and unhappy. I've got too much 'creative buildup' - it's gotta come out!
and I miss you lovely, cwazy bunch of talented writers. I love playing with you all.
my life needs more play.
