Dell Sweet

This is a 1962 Ford Econoline Pickup. This is an awesome truck that I was able to work on with my dad back in the early seventies when he owned one. This one is lifted. This is built in Direct X and includes FBX and OBJ files along with the graphics and the image maps used. This is lo-poly and is game ready. The tires and rims are always rendered separately on my models so that they are easy to remove and use the model with a premade game chassis such as RAD Sandbox and other 3D game makers provide.

Private Investigations 1: A John Rourke detective Story (Private Investigations: John Rourke Private Detective Stories) Kindle Edition Book 1 of 3: Private Investigations: John Rourke Private Detective Stories by W. W. Watson(Author)Format: Kindle Edition

John Rourke is a private detective with contacts and a license to practice from New York to Arizona. He has the resources he needs across the country to find the information he needs to crack the toughest cases. Ex-cops, ex-Cons, snitches, stoolies, drug addicts, criminals, drug dealers and any kind of scum of the earth you can imagine or care to name. He knows the seedy side of life and to some people that makes him indispensable…

Book one:

The chipped paint on my beat-up Ford Falcon was flaking like old skin. The smell of stale coffee clung to the interior like a cheap perfume, a constant, bitter reminder of the long hours ahead. Across the street, Paul Fields’ two-story colonial loomed, a picture of suburban perfection, a stark contrast to the cramped discomfort of my temporary office. The relentless hum of traffic on Hemlock Drive was a dull, throbbing ache in my skull, a soundtrack to this tedious ballet of surveillance. My gut churned, not from the coffee, but from the gnawing feeling that I was hemorrhaging money, bleeding my retainer dry on this seemingly pointless stakeout…

The end has come for most of the world’s population. Small groups of survivors are picking up the pieces… Learning to live again…

When the sun began to peek over the top of the ridge on the opposite shore of the Black River, everyone filed out to the two remaining trucks. It had been decided that Mike and Jan would stay behind while the others went in search of the stolen truck. They switched on and tested two sets of F.M. radios.

This is a track I use for testing my cars. It is in several game examples I have built over the years. It is designed in the OFX modeler and built in 3DS, converted to Direct x and added to the Rad Sandbox gaming system to use to build games. This building is in a ZIP file and includes the 3DS file, FBX, OBJ and Direct X versions. It also includes the Graphic/Map files. It is free to use as you like, personal or commercial.

I built this land to test models. In the version I use to test models you can see glimpses of a city in the background and an extra road that leads to it. In this version I stripped it down. It includes the track, with the same graphic/UV work but it does not include the city. I built a small, raised area around the track so that it is closed in. There is a video below that shows several different cars driven around the track. This model is designed and rendered in Direct X. I included renders in Obj, 3DS and FBX as well as Direct X. The ZIP file also includes the maps and graphics as shown in the images below. https://youtu.be/1UGjpWJqSBo #3DS #FBX #OBJ #DirectX #GameReady #LoPoly #dellsweet

Frequent Walker is a song I wrote about drugs and my time spent in that life and how it affected me and what I felt like.

Lyrics Copyright © Wendell G. Sweet 2010 ♪ ♫ ♪ Date Written; 10-20-2010

Song Title: Frequent Walker Style: Alternative

Verse One:

In this world… time moves by… doesn’t stop for you or me… The ones who stop and wait are the ones who never see… So my feet… move me on… though they’re weary of this flight… They will lead me to tomorrow, wipe the fallen from my sight…

Instrumental—————Short lead transition—————————————————–

Hook:

Pick me up… Fill my cup… Fix the damage in my head… Fill my soul… Make me whole… Raise me from the dead… Show my eyes what can be… shine your light so I can see…

Verse Two:

In my life… I have seen… distant dreams of futures past… And the one who filled my cup left it empty at the last… And my eyes… tired from sight… rimmed in red and slow to see… Can’t conceive eternity from the edge of what can be…

Instrumental—————Short lead transition—————————————————–

Hook:

Pick me up… Fill my cup… Fix the damage in my head… Fill my soul… Make me whole… Raise me from the dead… Show my eyes what can be… shine your light so I can see…

Verse Three:

Walk alone… Through this world… Through this cold I’ve always known… Taking only what I need from the seed that has been sown… And this world… sells itself… pretty dreams that can not be… And though we stop to look we can never truly see…

Instrumental————— Long Lead —————————————————————-

Verse Four:

Take my time… tap the glass… raise the bubbles from my cure… Pull the curtains on my pasts… and all I thought they ever were… As my soul… Finds its way… push the darkness from my mind… Lay your words upon my heart as my rest I go to find…

Instrumental—————Short lead transition—————————————————–

Hook

Pick me up… Fill my cup… Fix the damage in my head… Fill my soul… Make me whole… Raise me from the dead… Show my eyes what can be… shine your light so I can see… Verse Five: Let my heart… lead me on… from your memories in my mind… lay your coins upon my eyes… speak your magic line by line… As my sun… slowly sets… I will try not to forget… all the lessons from this world and the souls that I have met…

Instrumental—————Short lead transition—————————————————–

Hook / Xtro:

Pick me up… Fill my cup… Fix the damage in my head… Fill my soul… Make me whole… Raise me from the dead… Show my eyes what can be… shine your light so I can see… which way to walk…

Why I Wrote It: I wrote this song in one shot, most of it came as fast as I could write it. I understood what it was as I wrote it, although the lyrics are slightly obscure, or seemed to me to be (I’ve since been told by readers that it’s not so obscure but pretty straight forward.). It’s about my life ending of course. Flirtation with suicide. Drug use. Disillusionment with the world, religion, society on every level. I spent a lot of my life that way. When I was on the streets for two years this is the way, I looked at the world. Cynical, glass half full. I tried suicide, nearly succeeded. I thought how nice it would be to lay down and pull the plug. That is what this song is about. I’m not there anymore. I don’t want to encourage anyone to be there either, but some of us spent years there and never talked about it…

This car was built with the Murdered-Out look in mind. The only bling I added was the gold and chrome in the rims, everything else is Black. Black chrome, black paint that is really a little off-black. I had fun building it… #3dmodels #3DPlymouthFury #1958Plymouth #carmodels #plymouth #fury #dellsweet #3ds #fbx #directx #obj

Bob’s Track builder is only available from Steam. Yes, you can find it on the net, but the email at thew site, the sign-up none of that works or is answered. I have tried, no dice, so I purchased the game through Steam. That said, it has some problems that Steam will not address for you. If you load it the first time and have more than one monitor like I do, it will load some windows on other screens. No idea why it does that, but it does, and it is fine as long as you never change that configuration. I did, as in I went from six monitors to four and it somehow lost those other windows and so I could not get those windows back. The program thought they were available on some other screen? Maybe, something like that. A programing error? Yes, but don’t try addressing it with the guy who wrote the program as he will never respond, either through his website or Steam.

Okay, that is the bad news. The good News?

The good news is he should be working on updates and improvements because this program, when it works, is awesome. It will allow you to build a track, land, and even add buildings, signs, etc., so that when you are done you have a complete layout ready to use. It looks and acts like it was made for building these tracks/layouts for other popular games, but as an afterthought the creator added a Direct X render of it as well. This gives you the entire set you just created in a series of Direct X files. You will have to figure them out and assemble it, so to speak in your favorite Direct X reading modeler, but once you spend an hour or so doing that you have everything you need.

In the video I will show you how I did that. I have no idea what it costs now or if you can get it anywhere as a stand-alone piece of software. I don’t think you can, as I said I have tried. But even though you have to run it from Steam it is a nice piece of software that does exactly what it says and creates beautiful appearing layouts that are game ready in the X format. Just remember NOT to change your monitor configuration after you have installed it, Dell…
