Modelling An Anime Girl in 4 Minutes
…Can only be done by the people from the land of the kawaii, technology, anime, erogames and other weird happenings :)
^ No Lolis were harmed during the write-up of this post ^^
Below is a crazy super fast-forwarded video of a Japanese netizen using a 3D modelling program to create a ‘loli’ character.
The video itself is really fantastic. I used to think 3D modelling was actually easy, but it realized it’s the total opposite. I respect 3D modellers even more now ^^;
Don’t know if they did it in one sitting or in several ones, it shows the amount of effort and dedication placed in! If you realize as well, WPvideo plugin reports the video timing wrongly :/ It is supposed to be 04:03mins instead of 02:37mins.
Song played in the video is from Kujian (Kujibiki Unbalance) I think.
Also, you might want to check out my ‘Draw Like the Experts‘ post that features how Japanese illustraters do such beautiful digital llustrations that I can cry ORZ.
By the way, does anyone recognize the 3D program used? I think it’s Maya.

Cosplay Cafe to open in local mall
An interesting article appeared in TODAY Online. Titled ‘Master want a cuppa?‘ , it leaves the impression of a maid asking the master if he/she wants a cup of tea/coffee/drink.
Yes, anime cosplaying fans, it has finally reached the shores of Singapore. A ‘maid’ cafe is to open her next month!
‘Master want a cuppa?’ <Link>
The questions regarding this cafe/restaurant would be the service , the cosplaying girls and the customers’ dresscode.
What one would like to see would be pretty, cute maids, greeting their master (customer) with perky voices, servicing to most of their needs. This would mean that the cosplaying girls have to be almost “model/idol-like”, with service being the top priority and able to withstand the ‘otaku-ness’ of the customer(s).
^ Model/Idol-like?
However, it also brings the point of service. How would the service be like? Would it be like any other restaurant? Just that in this one, girls would be cosplaying as different anime characters. Or would it take a different approach instead?
The cafe will expand its services to include catering and a “Date with a Maid” feature, where patrons will have a maid dedicated to their service for the evening. This element is expected to be popular with those who want to treat their friends to a different experience, say, for their birthdays.
The ‘Date with a Maid’ feature ,which seems to have originated from cabaret, seems promising. I believe customer(s) would have to pay a higher fee for such a feature.
Customer(s) would be the main audience in such a business. However, what about the customer’s dresscode? Would bermudas, T-shirt and slippers be allowed? Or do you have to dress up in a suit and tie? How about standard T-shirts and jeans? Here are some questions to ponder.
According to Ms Laurent, the cafe will introduce the Japanese quality of service here, as the “maids” are required to be proficient in English, Chinese and Japanese as well as be sociable. Rather than the run-of-the-mill café culture, Cosafe will also deliver a different experience, promised Ms Laurant.
How proficient do you need to be in the 3 languages stated? Would knowing simple phrases cut-out? Or are you required to be able to converse with the customer in lets say Japanese?
One thing’s for sure… Too many questions, so few answered.

there goes my dream of creating my own 3d illustration :(
i never got into 3D art…for lifeless objects, like vehicles, those are fine, but 3D human figures all seem so dead to me. their eyes all look hollow…
that 3D art seems like a really boring job…
I love the images that you post with your posts – the mac girl the other day was sooo cute!
the software the artist uses for this is Maya. and fyi, the artist is a female, or as stated in youtube…
@Linc_31: I think it’s all down to personal preference ^^ There are some things we love and some thing we can’t understand why others love them.
@Dannychoo: Thanks! I always try to find a picture that is related to the post, and probably that’s why I take a longer time to update at times.
@tiny Red Man: I did ask some of my friends as well and they said it is Maya.
