How I Started Working With 3D Modeling Programs

So I'll start from the very beginning.

One day I was surfing in the web and I found one site -- www.digitalblasphemy.com and I browsed it. I was inspired by the 3D graphics' realism and suddenly I noticed the "My tools" button. My heart stopped for a moment and after that I entered the section and some time later I already had the tools and started working.

In the beginning I don't know why I thought it would be easy but later on I realised that I was wrong and it seemed impossible to create what the author had already did. But when I created my first render I compared it with some other from that site and I noticed that I had a female figure and he did also, so I am on the right way :) all I have to do now is tweak it a little. And once again with new motivation I started more deeply to study the chosen -- Poser 4 program. As I was learning rapidly the essentials my circle of knowledge grew and I realised that there is so much more that I don't know. The next couple of days I gave myself some time to think about that and I haven't even touched the program. Going further I even realised that I can't limit myself to that particular program and decided to learn some more less hard programs. Oh I forgot to mention that I did not learn everything with try and error, I also read some tutorials with difficulty level -- easy. Now I am reading with moderate and I can't dare thinking for the hard ones.

Well so much for my 3D experience before doing that I usually played games when suddenly I realised that this is a terible waste of time... well I still play them but way too little and I often use their models to practise with 3dsmax; for example all the models in Warcraft 3 are made using 3dsmax so I often open them to change animations and textures. Soon I may even create my own model and import it and create a custom map... maybe. So much for the offtopic.

Well...thats all I can think of. It was nice writing it, hope you enjoyed it.

For people that will redestribute this please keep my resource box untouched.

Teen Models and the Internet

Teen Modeling has always been a very popular Industry. Companies like Abercrombie & Fitch, Old Navy, Aeropostle, Billabong, and many others exclusively market the teenage demographic and as such generally hire Teen Models to best portray the image they are seeking. According to recent studies, Teen consumers in the age range from 12 - 17 showed an estimated spending power of 153 Billion and thus present a vast marketing opportunity that is multifaceted and touches on many products and services.

To successfully target teen consumers, many companies are seeking Teen Models to represent their particular brand. In the retail industry, much has been made of teens™ attraction to the youthful image projected by retailers like Abercrombie & Fitch; therefore teens naturally gravitate to this retailer as one Ĺ“for someone my own age.

So what options are available to today's Teen's wishing to become a model? The opportunities for Teen Models today are endless. With the advent of Web 2.0 user-generated websites, many Teen Models are finding it much easier to get noticed and present their Online Model Portfolios. The advantage of Online Modeling Portfolios and user-generated Social Networking sites have been refined to market the Online Teen Model directly. Such sites are called Online Model Listing services.

While there are many Online Model Listing services available, it is important for prospective Teen Models to recognize distinct differences in them. Many Online Model Listing services offer free registration and a limited ability to upload an Online Portfolio. This allows the Teen Model to begin a modest online presence but often falls short in regards to a Fully Interactive Online Model Listing service.

The next Online Model Listing service offers a full, interactive Online presence for the Teen Model, enabling the model to present a professional model portfolio with no space limitations. Fully Interactive Online Model Listing services also offer options totally unavailable to the typical free listing service. This includes the ability to communicate directly with prospective clients, agencies, photographers, and companies. Full service listing companies also offer the ability to apply for online jobs, upload completed image or video sets, and receive payments directly through the website.

With the increased convenience of the Internet, many Teen Models are choosing to model directly through a Fully Interactive Model Listing service. This is not only potentially very profitable, but a safe alternative to traveling.

Teen Models today have more choices and opportunities then ever before. If you are a Teen Model wishing to explore this exciting industry it is important to build a professional digital portfolio and select the Online Model Listing service that best suits your needs. Update your images often in order to always represent your latest look and interact as often as possible with your prospective clients. Online Teen Modeling is a lucrative and exciting field and will only increase in popularity. If you are wishing to become a Teen Model the time has never been better to begin.

VKernel Ships Virtual Data Center Modeling Tool for VMware ESX Environments

VKernel Modeler simulates and validates hundreds of 'what if' scenarios to optimize capacity utilization and minimize performance risks

PORTSMOUTH, N.H., March 31 /-- VKernel Corporation, a provider of easy-to-use and quick-to-deploy virtual server management solutions, today announced it is shipping its new VMware ESX data center modeling tool. VKernel Modeler 1.0 enables users to quickly simulate hundreds of 'what if' scenarios to understand the performance impact on the data center before rolling out additions and changes to the production environment.

"At the core of virtualization are efficiency and cost saving benefits that can only be realized if IT staffs have the confidence to virtualize a greater percentage of their servers and increase virtual machine densities," said Alex Bakman, founder and CEO of VKernel. "Our Modeler tool shows current and future performance impact to instantly validate whether or not changes and additions can be safely made to production environments."

The patent-pending VKernel Modeler 1.0 virtual appliance provides IT staff with an interactive, analytical sandbox to quickly test and validate additions and changes in a VMware ESX infrastructure to see what the performance impact will be before the changes are made in the production environment. Modeling scenarios are as simple as executing drag-and-drop and import commands to immediately see whether resource constraints will be exceeded and if performance issues will occur.

With Modeler's "what if" scenarios, IT staffs can conduct more effective and efficient capacity planning to ensure optimal performance, utilize the right amount of resources, and see a greater return on their investment. Some of the common use cases for Modeler are:

-- What will happen when a host is suspended for maintenance or a virtual machine is powered down?

-- Pre-testing VMotion scenarios to make sure sufficient resources exist.

-- See the effect on resource capacity of adding a new host/virtual machine or removing existing ones.

-- How will performance be affected if resource changes are made to hosts, clusters, and/or resource pools?

-- Can a configuration change be made without causing performance degradations or downtime?

Retransmission: Gryphon Gold Files New Resource Model

Gryphon Gold Corporation (TSX: GGN)(OTCBB: GYPH) filed on SEDAR and its website the recently completed CIM compliant NI 43-101 technical report in respect of the gold resource inventory for the Central Borealis deposit (previously announced April 30, 2008).

The total Central Borealis gold resource inventory is now calculated to be 1,422,500 ounces of measured and indicated gold ("M&I") and 1,104,500 ounces of inferred ("Infd") gold. This is an increase of 704,000 ounces of gold from the previous study (39% increase comprised of 209,000 ounces of M&I and 495,000 ounces of Infd resources) at an exploration cost of approximately $6.50/ounce. It is likely that much of the inferred mineralization can be upgraded to measured and indicated with a modest drill program.

These results confirm that the geological model developed by Gryphon Gold's geologists (Steve Craig and Roger Steininger) is proving successful. The model effectively identified the areas of mineralization that resulted in this significant increase; as well the model has identified areas in the Central Borealis where resources are open to possible expansion and where additional higher-grade material is likely to be delineated.

A drill program is being planned to follow up on these very encouraging results in the Central Borealis, and to apply the successful geological model to the very thick (up to 1,450 ft) zones of anomalous gold and alteration that were discovered in the Western pediments during the 2007 exploration program.

Chariot Resources to Add New Drilling to Resource Model In Feasibility Study

Chariot Resources (TSX: CHD) today announced that its 70%-owned subsidiary Marcobre S.A.C. ("Marcobre") had decided to incorporate the results of up to 250 holes drilled or to be drilled since the last resource update into the resource model it will use for the Feasibility Study (FS).

In November 2006, Chariot announced a new resource estimate for the Mina Justa project. That resource was based on results from a total of approximately 140,000 metres of drilling of which 65,000 metres was completed in 2006. Using a 0.3% cut-off, measured and indicated resources total 346 million tonnes at 0.71% copper, and inferred resources total 127.9 million tonnes at 0.60% copper.

Since the cut-off date for the November 2006 resource estimate update, Marcobre has conducted further drilling totalling 34,000 metres. Drill results were reported from the Northern Oxide, Western Pit Extension, Cu 40 and Southern Extension areas as well as the Magnetite Manto potential starter pit. As previously stated, the results from this drilling have highlighted the possibility that there could be several high-grade starter oxide areas which could complement the initial output from Magnetite Manto starter pit identified in the Scoping Study; the results also have the potential to yet again increase the size of the ultimate pit at Mina Justa (see press releases dated August 7, 2007, June 26, 2007 and Oct. 26, 2006).

"We believe that by incorporating the results of the new drilling into the resource model, the average grade of the oxide resources could be increased," said Ulli Rath, President and CEO. "If we are able to achieve a 10% increase in the oxide grade then this could add significantly to the project NPV - by reducing the tonnes of ore to be mined, reducing the size of the vat leaching and the associated capital, and possibly by improving recoveries."

Chariot anticipates that it will take approximately three months to update the resource model to incorporate the additional drilling done in 2007, which will in turn require the rescheduling of the FS. The Company expects to be able to provide a new target date for FS completion and the start of production in mid-October, following a project alignment meeting in Peru to be attended by Chariot and Marcobre staff as well as consultants from GRD Minproc, GMI, Knight Piesold, Indec/Cade and Snowden, all of whom are working on the project.

"Chariot's Board of Directors has also concluded that, following the completion of the Feasibility Study, it would be appropriate for the Board to consider what strategic alternatives may exist in respect of maximizing value at Mina Justa," said Mr. Rath.

Forward-Looking Statements: Statements in this release that are forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties concerning the specific factors disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company's periodic filings with Canadian Securities Regulators. Such information contained herein represents management's best judgment as of the date hereof based on information currently available.

Gryphon Gold Files New Resource Model

Gryphon Gold Corporation (TSX: GGN)(OTCBB: GYPH) filed on SEDAR and its website the recently completed CIM compliant NI 43-101 technical report in respect of the gold resource inventory for the Central Borealis deposit (previously announced April 30, 2008).

The total Central Borealis gold resource inventory is now calculated to be 1,422,500 ounces of measured and indicated gold ("M&I") and 1,104,500 ounces of inferred ("Infd") gold. This is an increase of 704,000 ounces of gold from the previous study (39% increase comprised of 209,000 ounces of M&I and 495,000 ounces of Infd resources) at an exploration cost of approximately $6.50/ounce. It is likely that much of the inferred mineralization can be upgraded to measured and indicated with a modest drill program.

These results confirm that the geological model developed by Gryphon Gold's geologists (Steve Craig and Roger Steininger) is proving successful. The model effectively identified the areas of mineralization that resulted in this significant increase; as well the model has identified areas in the Central Borealis where resources are open to possible expansion and where additional higher-grade material is likely to be delineated.

A drill program is being planned to follow up on these very encouraging results in the Central Borealis, and to apply the successful geological model to the very thick (up to 1,450 ft) zones of anomalous gold and alteration that were discovered in the Western pediments during the 2007 exploration program.

To view the table accompanying this press release please click on the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/GGN0603.pdf .

It is anticipated that these resources may support two distinct mining opportunities: an open-pit heap-leach mine plan for the oxide portion of the Central Borealis gold deposit as well as an open-pit mining plan for the higher grade unoxidized zones beneath and adjacent to the oxides:

- The in situ oxide portion of the gold resources, with approximately 170,000 of M&I and 177,000 of Infd ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.8 g/t(1) (0.022 ozs/ton) may support a 40,000+ ounce/year heap leach mine. There is also a partly oxidized gold resource with approximately 74,000 of M&I and 73,000 of Infd ounces of gold at the same average grade that may further support the heap leach mine pending additional metallurgical testing to determine the degree of recoverability. In addition there are some 20 million tons of unspent heaps and low grade stockpiles whose gold content remains to be assessed.

- The unoxidized portion of the gold resources, with approximately 1,084,000 M&I and 715,800 Infd ounces of gold at an average grade of 1.5 g/t (0.044 ozs/ton) may support a 65,000+ ounce per year open-pit mine.

A technical report assessing the economics of the heap leach mine for the oxide portion of the Central Borealis resource is being prepared by Telesto Solutions Inc., a Nevada based independent engineering services firm under the supervision of John Key, Gryphon Gold's COO. Mr. Key joined Gryphon Gold in February, 2008 specifically with the intent to develop the mining potential of Gryphon Gold's mineral resources. As a mining engineer he worked for the Teck Cominco organization from 1983 to 2004 were he was directly responsible for running, in succession, the Magmont, Polaris, and Red Dog mines and served as General Manager, Projects.

The technical report is anticipated to be ready for release in July 2008. As well, a preliminary internal report assessing the potential for an open-pit mine plan for the higher grade unoxidized zones is in progress. The development of mining operations for any of the resources will require completion of positive feasibility studies and a decision to proceed would be subject to regulatory approvals and financing.

Gryphon Gold is a Nevada focused gold exploration company. Its principal gold resource, the 1.4 million measured and indicated and 1.1 million inferred ounce Borealis deposit, is located in the Walker Lane gold belt of western Nevada. The Borealis gold system is one of the largest known volcanic-hosted high-sulphidation gold-bearing mineralized systems in Nevada. Nevada Eagle Resources, a wholly owned subsidiary, has over 50 highly prospective gold properties located in desirable gold trends in Nevada. Nevada Eagle's principal properties have a cumulative 900,000 of historical ounces of gold (the historical estimates are based on internal reports prepared by prior owners prior to February 2001 and were not prepared in accordance with CIM NI 43-101 standards and thus their reliability has not been verified). A number of Nevada Eagle's principal properties are subject to joint venture or farm in agreements in favor of third parties.

Gryphon Gold 2008 Resource Model Update

Gryphon Gold Corporation (TSX: GGN)(OTCBB: GYPH) reports that its new CIM compliant NI 43-101 gold resource inventory for the Borealis property expands the gold resource by 704,000 ounces (comprised of 318,000 ounces of measured and indicated and 495,000 ounces of inferred resources) for a 39% increase over the January 2007 inventory. The increase is a result of both an improvement in the over all grade of the deposits and an increase in the total tonnage resulting from the successful 2007 drill program.

The gold resource inventory is now calculated to be 1,422,500 ounces of measured and indicated gold and 1,104,500 ounces of inferred gold versus 1,213,500 ounces of measured and indicated and 609,200 inferred as per the previous January 2007 calculation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new technical report will be filed with Canadian securities regulatory agencies on SEDAR and made available on the Company's website at www.gryphongold.com in early May, 2008. The assays for Gryphon Gold's drilling were prepared by Inspectorate America Corp. and American Assay Laboratories, both of Sparks, Nevada.

Dr. Roger C. Steininger, Consulting Geologist, is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators and the principal author of the May 2008 NI 43-101 technical report. AMEC, a world leader in the provision of technical services, reviewed and audited the drill hole database used to develop the new resource. Modeling of the in situ resource was conducted by Steven F. Wolff, Mining Engineering Consultant and confirmed by Dr. Steininger, QP. Mr. Alan C. Noble, P.E. of Ore Reserves Engineering, a Qualified Person, modeled the stockpiled resource.

All of Gryphon Gold's drilling was logged (and all the relevant historic core and chips were re-logged) in detail to insure consistency in defining the geology and the alteration that is closely related to the gold mineralization. New oxidization boundaries were developed for each deposit and new grade boundary contours were constructed on cross sections throughout the deposits to assist in developing reliable resource estimates. A complete audit of the database was conducted to eliminate drill holes that may have down-hole contamination. These measures insure the quality of the characterization of these gold ounces.

The enhanced geological model of the Central Borealis deposits that Gryphon Gold's geologists have developed over the past three years is proving successful. It effectively identified areas of potential mineralization that were subsequently drilled and resulted in this significant expansion of the Central Borealis gold resource. Additionally, the enhanced resource model has identified areas where these resources are still open to expansion and it has indicated areas where additional higher-grade material is likely to be delineated.

An internal feasibility study incorporating the results of the new resource calculation is in progress and a report supporting the viability of a heap leach mine for the oxide portion of the Central Borealis resource is anticipated to be ready for release in July 2008.
