Just uploaded some new music tracks to last.fm for a friend of mine.

The album is called “Anything is Possible” by Marc Hirst and you can listen to it at the link here.

Blender 3D 2.49 – Incredible Machines (Allan Brito)
PACKT Publishing (www.packtpub.com)
ISBN 978-1-847197-46-7

As you may have read, I was asked to review a new book from Packt on Blender 3D. Blender is an open source 3D modeling application and can be put to an amazing variety of uses, from lifelike images through to Pixar style 3D animation.

This book aims to cover the use of Blender in creating “Incredible Machines” which are described by the author, Allan Brito, as “a kind of machine that doesn’t exist in our world, has amazing capabilities, and has a great sci-fi look”. If you aren’t a sci-fi fan don’t be put off by the description, this book has a lot to offer away from the world of Spaceships and Robots.

…

Happy Christmas Everybody!

I recorded a new version of “Walking in the Air” this week. You can download it from this link or go to my last.fm artist page and listen to it along with the rest of my music.
