This is a 1968 Ford truck cab, mated to a custom rear flatbed bed. I like the way the old Fords looked and wished I had the time and money to swap out the frame to a modern 4×4 truck of some kind, modern V8, etc. This model is built in Direct X. It includes all of the maps and graphics as shown. It also comes in 3DS, FBX, OBJ as well as Direct X.

This is an off-road isolated track. Dirt road with plenty of space for your game and to also roam freely. it is a Direct X Rigidbody model, but can also be saved as a Skinmesh for texture changes. It is rendered in Direct X and conversion files for OBJ and FBX are also included in the zip file. I normally add a 3DS file to, but the model is too large for 3DS render.

Trying to work up the nerve to start my next big project. I have been buying parts on the Down-Low for a while now. A few years back when China, I don’t know the distributor, dropped what they called an X99 motherboard I wanted one. It had dual 775 sockets and could run two XEON processors. It used up to 32 gb of ram. But, the DELL Workstations had an EATX Motherboard as well that handled two XEONs and 32 GB of ram, so I bought two of those at auction and built David Maxon and I each one.


Meanwhile China goes on. They update the X99 (It is not an official American or INTEL sanctioned motherboard, BTW) to 64 GB, then to LGA 2011 sockets, then to DDR 3, then to DDR 4. I was drooling.

I use an AMD 8 Core on my main machine to do AI work, 3D Modeling and also music, lyrics, etc. and animated ads for books, and book covers, and on and on. It does well with 32 GB of memory and a pair of 730 GT NVidias GT. Yes, mixed, older tech, but it gets the job done and it cost me a few hundred instead of a few thousand dollars.


But I saw the upgrades to the X99 board, a board I thought would get sued out of existence and instead survived. When they added the DDR3 and then the LGA2011 sockets I paid real attention, because that is a far cry from the Xeon 775s to the 2011 Xeon processors. Also, the DDR3 memory is much faster, in fact three times plus. And the memory channels are ten times as many. So, I bought the pieces one by one.
Last night I started see what I have and What I need.


I have an EATX rack case I built when I had the DELL Workstation mounted in there. I built it as an open air case and I spent some time on it, and it is drilled out and ready for an EATX board. Plenty of space for a huge Power supply, long space for a graphics card. The case is thin, 4 1/4″ thick, about 30″ tall and 28″ wide.
I also purchased the X99 Motherboard with the dual LGA2011 sockets, space for 64 GB of DDR at up to 1600 MHZ The max mem is 128 GB, so I can expand. I also bought 32 GB in 4 sticks of DDR3 in 8GB each, and I have 64 GB of DDR3 in 8GB sticks, so I have plenty.


I also have dual 12 core XEON processors.

I have dual CPU coolers with double fans.


I also have a 1 Terabyte SSD m.22 that will go right on the motherboard as it has 2 M.22 slots @ 32 GB sec.
I have also a 1 Terabyte SSD drive.


I have my three Terabyte Sata drive to transfer and my 2 Terabyte drive to transfer.

I have my WIN 10 on an SSD drive already, so I will only have to reactivate everything once I transfer it.
I have a second 2.M.22 drive at a half Terabyte.


I also have a PCIE Graphics card, GEFORCE 970 GTX with 4 gb of DDR5.. I have a matched pair of EAH 5550 cards as well, but they are the CU type and require 4 8 pin power plugs between the pair, so that will allow 4 moni9tors which ever way I go. According to benchmarks I’ve seen the single card will do ten times better than the double cards, and even if I purchased a second 930 card, in SLI they cannot double up the memory like most SLI run cards. A weird design flaw? No idea. So, I will most like go with single 930.


I have a Rocketfish Modular PS.

I purchased 4 120 MM fans and this time I got grills for them. On the old setup I did not have grills as I have no kids and then some kids showed up, and it scared the hell out of me. So, grills this time, and that means full grills.

Wish me luck. I have some specific cables on the way and then I will build it…

This model is a 1970 Dodge Coronet. I never owned one, but I did buy a 4
door version as a family car. That car reminded me of a muscle car
even though it had 4 doors. 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.

The fall and rebirth of a Kingpin Kindle Edition

    by W. G. Sweet 

    #Crime #Fiction #Amazon #KU #Kindle #WGSweet #Mafia #Organizedcrime

    Book 2 of 2: Kingpin

    The city sprawled beneath him, a glittering tapestry woven with threads of ambition and illuminated by a million indifferent stars. From the aerie of his penthouse, high above the cacophony of the streets, Vinny LaRosa surveyed his kingdom. It wasn’t a kingdom of stone and mortar, but of shadow and influence, a sprawling, illicit empire that pulsed with a life of its own. The lights weren’t just streetlamps and neon signs; they were signals, markers of territories controlled, deals brokered, and lives manipulated. Each flicker was a testament to his reach, a silent acknowledgment of the power he wielded. This was the zenith, the apex of his ascent, a plateau of opulence built on a foundation of calculated ruthlessness and an almost supernatural understanding of the human appetite for both order and chaos. #Crime #Fiction #Amazon #KU #Kindle #WGSweet #Mafia #Organizedcrime

    Book 1 of 2: Kingpin

    The city breathed with a rhythm all its own, a symphony of sounds and smells that were as much a part of Vinnie LaRosa as his own heartbeat. Little Italy, mid-20th century, was a vibrant, chaotic organism, its narrow streets a pulsing artery crammed with life. From the cramped tenements that clawed at the sky, their fire escapes a tangled lace against the brick, to the bustling trattorias that spilled the rich, intoxicating aroma of simmering tomato sauces and roasted garlic onto the cobblestones, the neighborhood was a constant, humming presence. Laundry flapped like colorful prayer flags from windows, a cacophony of Italian dialects spilled from doorways, and the ever-present rumble of streetcars added a bass note to the urban opera. #Crime #Fiction #Amazon #KU #Kindle #WGSweet #Mafia #Organizedcrime
