Well, a lot has happened since my last entry. We moved to Indonesia and started working on Jesmonite designs, my older son has rescued a street cat that still lives with us and it looks like my cat allergies are gone, we visited the Komodo Islands on a wooden sailing boat, Starship had it's 4th test flight that looked like something out of Starwars, the second Cosmic Summit conference has been held and I'm still in the process of going through some of the talks, BTC has hit a new all time high, I read "The New Science Of Heaven" by Robert Temple and did the sacred geometry course by Randall Carlson, Trump had his ear pierced by a bullet (they will likely try again to assassinate him) and much, much more. I'm not exactly sure if I even want to continue this blog because it feels like I'm using it more like a journal since I don't have much else to post about other than private thoughts and developments... and why would I put something private like that on a public domain? I can not truly post my private thoughts freely anyway cause they seem too crazy to utter in public... I am still working on 3d models for games but mostly client work that I can not post publicly due to NDAs... Maybe I'll start posting some Jesmonite designs. Then again... I should probably do that on the official business website/blog... I don't really see any point in continuing the blog. No one is reading it and I am not even sure I actually want anyone to read it. Plus making posts takes time and this website and domain take money to maintain...

Another great video I want to keep a record of is by Ben from UnchartedX and his vase scanning project where he scans ancient granite vases from Egypt with aerospace precision equipment and engineers from the industry to analyze the vase precision. The results of these scans now pretty much rule out that they were made by the predynastic or dynastic Egyptians with primitive hand tools. Since these vases have impeccable providence going back to the 1800s when they were dug up from the ground in Egypt, the period between ancient Egypt and the present can also be ruled out as a date for manufacturing. So they must be OLDER.
Recently watched a few Bob Greenyer videos from the Martin Fleischman Memorial Project channel on youtube. The two O Day videos: Another Dimension New Dawn Od An Old Age And the MH370 Video: Application Of Fractal Toroidal Moment His theory of what the pyramids were is very intriguing to me and it links back to the masons and the ancient knowledge they strive to preserve through their symbolism. Coming from a non science background I don't understand half of it, but there are a few things that jumped out at me. For one Bob mentioned a research paper by Kenneth Shoulders about permitivity transitions. And at the very beginning there is this sentence: "A condensed matter dissolution technique will be shown that is capable of cold dissociation of refractory material into a low viscosity fluid." Could this have been the technology used by the ancients to turn Granite into soft Play-Doh to build their megalithic, polygonal walls?
I'm getting sucked more and more into this Plasmoid Unification Model by Malcom Bendall. Also tried out Spline today. This is my first attempt at depicting a plasmoid.
Started on a city building set for the cube world universe. First publication will be a city outskirts brick building set. Here is where it's at currently. All blocks still need LODs.
Started a red bubble account for cyberdoll.
Progress on a larger block for the PBR Cube World Set. These take so much longer to make than the Proto Series... Now with the move to Indonesia coming up next month it is also increasingly difficult to focus on work. There is so much that needs to get done around the house in preparation.
Managed some more progress on the PBR Cube World stone set. There are quite a few new pieces in this new update but the set is still far from complete.
Finished prototype v0.1. Overall turned out well but needs to be improved in a lot of ways before she can be published. Needs to be put on hold until after the move. Check out more details on the cyberdoll blog. Quick note: The new Photoshop generative fill feature is amazing. It simply removed the seams on her in seconds.
Due to us moving country to Indonesia I will not have time to focus on Patreon so I'm closing it down until the move is complete and we've settled in there.
Quality of life is having the freedom to make choices that are not fear-based... freedom to choose is the ultimate luxury. That's another quote I want to keep a quick record of here. Not sure whom it's from. Came across it on a youtube video and it wasn't attributed to anyone.
This afterschool video struck a chord with me today. So I just want to keep a record of it here. "Hell is the place where the person you ARE meets the person you could have been."
For reasons unknown I am experiencing an overwhelming desire today to start a company called Space Eggs...
Note to self. Company Of One by Paul Jarvis has been a true treasure trove of good advice for me in my current situation. It was a huge relieve to read that I'm not the only one walking this path. It also really takes the pressure off of having to conform to common practices in business. It's jam packed with good information and mind opening thoughts so I'll need to give it a second and maybe even a third listen. For now I just want to note down one thing that stuck out to me today and that I have been thinking about a lot after hearing it. Passion follows mastery... and not the other way around At least in most cases... In other words... the advice to " follow your passion" and the search for it can leave one confused, lost and unhappy. This sounds depressing but really it is not. Because it takes the pressure off of having to find "a passion" and instead tells you to just get good at something instead. I find this makes things much simpler. Could one go one step further and say mastery follows purpose? As in having a clear goal? Something that one wants to achieve can give one purpose that then leads to the mastery of the skill needed to achieve that goal. And now we've come full circle. Back to the advice that lifestyle gurus commonly give: "You need to have a goal!" ... But I like the mastery angle. That was something I had sort of known but not consciously realized before until it was put in words.
Cyberdoll Aleysha is far from complete... but her face is pretty much finalized so I have released the first 3d printable part of her skeleton on the mattslog patreon today.
Check out the part in 3d on Sketchfab.
Well... I finished it. I'm not certain I'm in love with it but it also doesn't look too bad. Was a heck of a lot more work than anticipated. Hopefully I'll find a better workflow if I have to make more of these.
After finding out that CO2 is playing a much less significant role in global warming than is currently propagated... I came across this today. Turns out methane is an 80 times more potent greenhouse gas than CO2 and it's generated in large quantities by landfills, the oil and gas industry and animal agriculture. Landfills and oil & gas industry problems can be solved by hooking up bitcoin miners and turn waste energy into a useful store of value no matter how remote they are.
It's been a while since the last update... but this warrants an entry. The complete starship stack has finally lifted off the ground for the first time. It was a truly epic sight to behold. The forces involved in this launch are extreme. Makes me wonder how rapidly reusable this truly will be with so much destructive energy being unleashed with each launch. I wonder if Malcom Bendall with the Strike Foundation have a better solution with their implosion/ fusion tech. I still can't tell wether or not all of that stuff is legit... problem is I just don't know enough to be able to tell if what Bendall is talking about is revolutionary new (old) tech or if he is psychotic.
Played around with Midjourney v4 a little today. It might come in handy for some concept work. It's definitely got the Artstation style down.

Dev logHi! This is Matt. I'm using mattslog.com as a place to record the development of projects I'm working on... as well as noting down some random thoughts and reminders... perhaps a little journaling. In short ... it's the place where I post my s... tuff. Categories
