For a day off and to shake the Cold/Flu from the system I grabbed the guitar and went down to Waterloo bay thinking I'd get some interesting rocks I'm planning on including using VOP volume noises, something I've done but not for a while, what I ended up with was a refreshing walk then the rain came on so popped into the local museum where they had a "Cutting Edge Technology" featuring a collection of Stone Tools from Pre-History, interesting enough, especially as they were all collected by locals from the Antrim area, then with the rain still on I popped into a bar (I know, what a surprise) to see two gents I hadn't seen in decades, Vinny, former groundsman of the local Golf club and Skoob, who sold me my first guitar around '88. History came up as it does and I mention the Elderwood project and Vinny just casually says "I dug up a Bullaun Stone from Cairndhu","seriously Vinny, that's tied to the Fae, what happened to it" I was thinking it was in some exhibit like I had just come from, nah " Its outside my Da's house". So anyway quite the day and the Cold feels near gone and here's my mate Vinny and a pre-Christian artefact with debated purpose and meaning, 4 doors down from where I am currently staying...A grand day. Slainte

Stuffed full of the cold, so just been trying out POPs to Niagara at a relaxed pace, not sure if I'll be pursuing any major VFx for submission, probably stick to some interesting meshes as emission sources, we'll see, of note Lemsip(Cold Remedy)is £6.50 a box yet a miniature bottle of Black Bush(with Honey, Cloves, Sugar & boiled water) is £3.50

(edit.. added further rough concept, will most probably just use more standard UE fog and save the POP/Niagara rabbit hole for another time)

well I was hoping for something dramatic from a Triskelion Sigil but kinda surprised this developed from SimonHoudini's robust Project Groot Proc.Smoke walkthrough. I guess when life gives you cloud Sigils you make Thermo Nuclear Fae explosions...beginners luck ..now to tame this voxel beast into something importable for Unreal...(edit: I got it in, well something to work from, something for the morrow...)

Not having used Unreal for 3 years and diving into Heterogeneous Volumes is a bit of a stretch, so will utilize the cloud Shroud and Triskellion Sigil in a simpler more static simpler approach, given myself till end of May for Experimentation and learning so nothing wasted on the Houdini front...

Onwards up the Glen, the weather is grand...



Fun Rating so far 9.2/10
