Been a little while since my last post, so I figured now would be a good time as any to do so. First off, there were a couple of new patches released, 2.0.7 and 2.0.8. Now before the Burning Crusade came out, the most number of patches between major updates (1.#.0) was 5. This time around, there has been 7 updates, and no major patch. They even skipped 2.0.2 for some reason.

I'll be going back through the current changelogs and adding an Undocumented Changes section, via WoWWiki.com. These changes are observed by the players, are not part of the official Blizzard release notes, and may not be agreed upon by everybody, but I like the addition of it.

On the side of my Site Upgrades, there's been some you may have noticed. Firstly, I finally updated the in-game rendition of me in the header and on the profile page.

Second, I re-added an Image Gallery back. I used to have the popular Gallery integrated in the site, but I ended up not liking how the end-result looked. So this past week I decided to just code my own. It's very basic, and has some nice effects, but isn't overloaded with stuff I don't really need.

Lastly, I started playing around with WoW Model Viewer and Lightwave again, only this time I am able to get the texture along with the model. If you have a look in my renders gallery, you'll see some quick renders of stuff.

With the last couple versions of WoW Model View, there's been an option to export models to a few different formats (.obj, .lwo, .3ds, and .ms3d). I figured I'd have a play with this, and make a render of the Unbarc character I made. This is still a little bit buggy, and the textures didn't work properly with the export, so I had to add in my own, but here's a little render of Unbarc in Lightwave.

I've also made the Gallery live, so check it every so often for new pictures. I might be adding a picture block to the main page, that shows a picture of the day, most recent pic, etc.

Note: The gallery has been removed, and the picture is temporarily in limbo.
