In this C4D tutorial, we will go over how to shatter a text with thinking particles. This method will enable us to have a much more advanced control and additionally it will be the starting point for the concept of morphing. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vf8a9-F5LU

Welcome to NJMD

Rafael Guerra — Sun, 09 May 2010 19:59:46 +0000

Well, its alive! The Noise Junkies Music Database, brought to you by me and especially Ashley, is finally here. We hope that a lot of you can register and start uploading and downloading the tracks. Additionally, we expect some of you to be premium users and show everybody else how its done! I would like to dedicate this blogpost to everyone that helped the NJMD process, in many ways:

Ashley Staggs – Without him, there would be no database. He coded everything with his absolutely astonishing skills!

Nahuel – Nahuel has helped us testing and he found some interesting bugs we are fixing. He also helped to upload some tracks while my computer was going crazy.

Daniel Guerra – My brother also helped uploading some tracks while my computer went crazy. (Yes community, i have a brother…surprise!)

Andrew Ho – For letting his album “The Silent Riot” be part of the database as well as agreeing to test some of the early issues we had in the site. Thanks man!

Stephen – I don´t know this guy personally, but he is Ashley´s friend and he helped us quite a lot with a new album and with some testing too!

Nidhi Baweja - For broadcasting the information to the Asian community and getting so many fans in the Facebook page. Thanks Nidhi!

Without further due, enjoy the database!

International Fair/NJMD

Rafael Guerra — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 02:31:39 +0000

Tomorrow I will be attending the Annual International Fair in my school and I will be shooting a VLOG (like the first one, in the marathon), so you guys can expect some pretty big epic moments from it, like the epic “Shut Up” in VLOG 1. On Wednesday, Dream Theater will be here in Venezuela and I am going to the concert (duhhh…), I might take the camera and shoot some stuff there too! Now, let´s talk a bit about the NJMD (Noise Junkies Music Database): You might already have enough info, but just want to say that Ashley and I are working hard to finish it in possibly less than a month. There are a lot of cool features we are adding like song previews, rating systems and customizable dashboards, it should be lots of fun when its online. Until then, we can tell each other riddles, like this one: “When you stop and look, you can always see me. If you try to touch, you cannot feel me. I cannot move, but as you near me, I will move away from you. What am I?
