I canit just leave this thing grin

so I have been kind of busy lately. With all the screen writing training and all. I rarely open my pc during the day.

And since i cant do stuff cracking up from underground (even though i ve recently acquired Pulldownit plugin for maya, that stuff is heaven), another idea came up from , guess where? tongue the story of Haggar, Abraham's concubine.

She and her son wandered aimlessly until their water was completely consumed. In a moment of despair, she burst into tears. God heard her and her son crying and came to rescue them.
The angel opened Hagar's eyes and she saw a well of water.
So I used the theme of a desert and a small oasis in this fickle idea of mine....

I know most environment Artists will laugh at my composition, do bear with me....I am merely a Character artist cool

I am for the exploring the idea of disintegration , but my issue with it , will it change much ?. Look at the different regions , all states are allocated funds for projects but very few are completed . And mind you, the leaders of each region belong to the majority tribe in that land . So will Nigerians of all tribes suddenly change their corrupt ways after separation?
Disintegration will change a lot.

Number one, there will be competition amongst the new countries, each will try to prove to the other than they being a country was the best thing ever. Check Singapore and Malaysia.

Two, cultyral aspirations will be uniform, there are certain things a yoruba values that an igbo man will find abhorrent or senile and vice versa.

Three, homogeneous population. People of the same kilt tend to be more united. Example, singapore, Qatar, Norway, UAE, Chile, Croatia, Bahrain

Four, Quota system will end ...at least in Biafra or Oodua. People will get their dues becos they merited it or qualified for it. Not because, the central government is overcompensating for lack of something. Check out the jamb situation...

And there will flocking mentality to economic competition... Check out what is happening between South korea, japan, China, Vietnam, Taiwan. They are in the same geographical zone and all are striving to outdo the other in technology and the best HDI

trying to make the dragon fly. It will have to fly before landing on the pavement. Then it should caw, assume a threatening stance an dthen totter towards my actor (yusuf)

In the course of the animation, i read up on a few things about Bats. I am using a bat in flight footage for reference.

1. Unlike birds and insects which can fold and rotate their wings during flight, bats have many more options. Their flexible skin can catch the air and generate lift or reduce drag in many different ways. During the straightforward flight, the wing is mostly extended for the down stroke, but the wing surface curves much more than a bird’s does-giving bats greater lift for less energy

2. Instead of feathers projecting back from lightweight, fused arm and hand bones,bats have flexible, elastic membranes that stretch between specially extended, slender bones of the hand. Also , bat’s bones and wing membrane both change shape with every wing beat, flexing in response to the balance forces applied by the muscles and competing forces due to the air motion around them.

Furthermore, unlike bird wings, bat wings membrane must be kept under tension or else it will flap uselessly. As such, there are limits to how much the wing can be folded during flight. Finally, during upstroke, birds feather their wings but bats must do something different and eventually they have developed a twisting wing path that increases the lift during the upstroke.

And do you know: what happens to a bat that is simply placed on the ground?....It can’t fly
Yeah it can’t fly. It need to climb to a higher position using its claws and then jump off. They don’t gives a reason but I think it is because since their membrane must be in constant tension , thats why they sleep hanging upside down.

And please what are your system properties
Allow me to say you have a better processor than mine.

My specifications now is just ordinary run of the mill stuff.
8G Ram , 4G Nvidia GPU and a turbo boosted core i5 twin tower processor.

I would suggest you boost up ur Ram and allocated some part of your hard disk to also complement the RAM. Research on this. Check out PCMagazine.

I think a proper RAM and virtual mermory is the key to getting yhe best from a low budget workstation.

Blender will not crash your system but would most rather crash itself.

And for this to happen, its either you are simulating two gallons of water, Hair with 5000 parent particles plus inherent child particles or your models are insanely high res.

Most times creating particle instances on a high scale in cycles can also crash blender. I would suggest you find a middle ground.

My Igbo nation is long over due for their own country, away from the disaster called Nigeria.
How i wish Dear Nnamdi Kanu had tabled his mission to President Putin . how i wish he had aligned himself properly to powers that be in france and amongst the Nigerian diaspora.

The class structure of modern day YORUBA politicians is modelled after the so-called Hausa-Fulani hegemony style we all have been brought up to detest.
Check beneficiaries of government appointments both at the federal, state and local levels in Yorubaland many are family members of Yoruba ruling elite. A very ‘progressive’ Yoruba Senator who mouths JUSTICE was already a pensioner in America, when the opportunity came for the ‘progressive’ to present a name to President Buhari for NAFDAC Chairperson, our Senator did not need to search far and wide Yoruba land for younger qualified Yoruba, he recalled his wife, who by the way was already a pensioner to take the position, the office of the Vice President is littered with sons and daughters of who is who in Yoruba land, Lagos House of Assemble like most Yoruba House of Assembly in Yoruba land is an extension of family meetings, ‘Familitocrcy’ is replacing fairness, New generation Yoruba leaders are winning the battle of who is more nepotistic in the Nigerian federation.
Familotocracy....Buhari is not alone.

Nepotism is a liquor for the brave.

So i narrowed down my options.
What do i have: Maya
Can i make plant sprout out leaves and a flower? How would u do it?

Can i make the growth as organic as possible, with a tapering jiggle once the animation stops?

Is it possible to make the plant crack open the soil as its tendrils grow? What bullet system should u use?

Can i make secondary tendrils to grow along the major stem of the plant?

Everythang looks simple....until u fire up Maya. grin

I didnt sleep all nite...alright, i am really exaggerating. I slept late and not until i saw the idea at least to 80% been fleshed out.

I had singular issues with encasing the dragon inside the flower bud. U know the bud does not open until the last stage of the plants growth. Figuring out how to make the dragon grow with the plant became an issue...

I solved it by using point constraints and locators. At the end the reptile stay fully encased as the plant grows and only reveals once the flower splits open

I couldn't do the ground cracking up as the tendrils sprout. My intelligence failed me at that. Or simply put, i dont know how to do it in Maya. And transferring to Houdini isnt attractive.

The idea is simple, a small flower, like the one on our coat of arms ( forgotten the name) growing and its flower bursting out to reveal a Reptile ( in this case my dragon) waking from sleep.

Its easy to write and sketch, right? To do , actualize in 3D, is the pure koko...

kokomaster3d:
but why authorities still allow people to build on earthquake prone areas
I have asked that question once.

Now i realize that most of these areas had to be occupied simply becos
1. Not enough land, indonesia is the largest muslim nation by population and yet just the size of Niger state if less. So overpopulation meant more areas needs to be built up even if its sitting on the Pacific ring of fire

2. Most of these areas dont experience earthquakes in 20 or so years span. So within this span, coupled with pressures of population people build along


3. Rising temperature of water. Liquids rise in voulme under increasing temperature. Once the oceans heatup due to global warming and the melting of the ice in artic and antartica, coastal cities will suffer more of floods

Indonesia as a country is already sitting on fragile tectonic plates. Meaning that every part of the country is not immuned to the earth's plates shifting
