Previous week’s baking exploits
Previous week’s baking exploits In the previous week’s baking exploits I managed to get quite a lot made. Last week was a bit hectic, but I have posted a list of everything that I baked here. I made some delicious pancakes, along with two different types of cookies, some bread and cupcakes! I will try […]
Completely new direction
Completely new direction So, I am going to be heading in a completely new direction from now. I have spent the last seven years or so looking after my grandmother who has Alzheimer’s. During that time, I had to teach myself how to cook! I have started a new website as a place to test […]
Happy 5th Birthday to ronenbekerman.com !
A slightly belated Happy 5th Birthday (or is it Anniversary??) to www.ronenbekerman.com ! I found his site many months ago when looking for various tutorials and how-tos and found it to be a thoroughly informative site. He has a good listing of various tools required, workflows, articles and freebies. For the next couple of weeks he is […]
New computers and nodes
After my last post I was thinking about sending my stuff off to a render farm to get rendered and hopefully save some time, however in the end as my main computer was starting to feel a little bit lethargic, I decided to upgrade some of the parts and acquire two or three basic nodes […]

So, I hopped up to London for the VRay workshop at Escape Studios last night. I must say I was impressed with the speed of rendering – I usually use mental ray and VRay certainly seemed swifter. Possibly the settings I use are slightly over the top, but even then I suspect that with comparable […]
Update time
Just an update to what is going on at the moment. My PC is up and running although in the end I didn’t bother RMAing the Antec Kuhler H20 920 that started acting up. This past week I have been modelling the pulse rifle that I found on an old model kit I have of Motoko […]
Paris
Just a quick post as I am still rather zonked out. Firstly, right before I left for London, my main PC’s SSD drive failed – suffering from bad sectors I suspect. I didn’t get a chance to properly look. but that is my gut feeling. Thankfully, all of my work and settings etc are stored […]
Back from fishing!
I took a few days off and went fishing up North with my mother. Wednesday was a wash out, rained all day, or at least when we were supposed to be fishing, and didn’t catch a thing. The Thursday was much better weather and funnily enough, we didn’t catch anything then – even though there […]
