Nightfall monster CG models.
It’s nice to see this because it was hard to truly appreciate the Guild Wars monster designs while battling them.

“I’d love to, but I don’t want to.”
Examples of bad videogame translation.

Art inspired by dance club culture.
“… the modern dj is almost like a contempary wizard and his energy casts a spell over touusands of people that makes thier bodies twist and move at his whim.” And speaking of spelling …

Diorama Studio Diorama Viewer guide part 3

Konami’s Diorama Studio software is a remarkable program that puts a virtual action figure (based on designs from the Busou Shinki toyline) on your PC. It’s a free program but the fact it’s in Japanese may intimidate non-Japanese fans who are keen to try it out.

In previous guides, I showed you how to download and install Diorama Studio, display Japanese text on a non-Japanese edition of Windows XP, create a Konami ID and select and pose a CG model in the Diorama Studio Model Editor.

In part 1 of the Diorama Studio Diorama Viewer guide, I showed you how to select a diorama background and load a posed model and in part 2, I showed how to position the model in the diorama background and save your diorama data.

In this guide, I’ll show how you to load a saved diorama, position the camera and take a screenshot.

Optimus Prime Lego.
“I spent 8 days straight designing, building, and improvising this sculpture. It’s Optimus Prime in Lego glory! This figure is based on the live-action movie version. It stands at 1.5 feet tall. I’m not finished with it yet.” (See also.)

Paper Optimus Prime.
Amazingly enough, it transforms.

Robo-servitude.
When the robot revolution comes, we will deeply regret these humiliating examples of forced labour.
