Today while organising some files I found the very first draft we did for the VPS.NET website. This was the initial sketches we worked on while deciding on a look and feel for the brand, all the way back in November 2008 ! (Copyright stamp is 2009 as we knew it would be launched the…

Robot Army
Today the remaining of the VPS.NET robots that where made for webhostingcon and other conferences finally arrived, I got myself a few to put on my desk, need to set a few aside for friends abroad, like everaldo and nay, who want a robot of their own. It’s so cool to see something one designed…

VPS.NET Robot in 3D
Just or kicks, I decided to build the VPS.NET robot in 3D, it’s ben close to 5 years since I have done 3D modeling, a few weeks back I decided to give Maya a go, but it’s cluttered UI is just such a mess, so I decided to try something a bit closer to what…
