"Reminisce some time" - Zeline Alice


This painting was done using the traditional art style of canvas and acrylic paint.

When my door...

An example is facing your characters slightly towards the camera without facing the camera completely.   Straight ahead animation: Drawing by frames to see the motion that your animation will have.

Technology Development

XBox Hardware Development: The original  Microsoft really leaned into the “X” branding for the original Xbox console, so named because of the Microsoft DirectX technology on which it was based. The console s controller went through a slimming process soon after its release when Microsoft replaced the original console’s hulking “Duke” controller with the much more compact “Controller S” that had originally been the standard controller for the console’s Japanese release. some specs:  Hard Drive: 8 or 10 GB HDD, Memory  64 MB DDR SDRAM 200MHz. this was good for the early non-intensive games that was out at the time of the original Xbox bust as games progressed, they became more memory intensive therefore required more storage. Xbox 360: The Xbox 360 was a very different-looking console to the original Xbox. It now came in white as standard and ditched the giant “X” shape in favour of minimal Xbox branding along the disc tray. The Xbox 360 was a huge ...
