'''About Me'''<br>
__NOTOC__
Nostalgia-ridden Iritscen randomly decides to check out Oni one day, after getting back into Marathon and discovering the whole Aleph-One deal has been going on for a decade without his knowing. He finds a community of enthusiastic people has reverse-engineered massive amounts of the game despite lacking any assistance from Bungie, etc. Seeing their valiant efforts, such as preparing to release a Seventh Anniversary Edition mod package that improves gameplay, he eagerly jumps in, trying to help while not exactly knowing what in the heck he's doing. This is his story.

'''Other Oni-Related Projects'''<br>
*[[Anniversary Edition#Add Ons|Anniversary Edition Tools]] (Macintosh only) (with EdT)
:This is very much a work in progress, and it keeps getting new features. Basically a front-end for command-line tools built by others. Currently allows you avoid the command line while doing the following: installing the Edition, recompiling individual levels to incorporate mods, exporting TXMPs from Oni. Currently working on implementing support for modding TXMPs and 3D models.
 
*[[:Category:Project Konoko V|Project Konoko V]]
:Tracing Lorraine's art with a vector app to produce large, clean-lined versions. Currently lives [http://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff178/Oni7thAnnArt/Tracework/ here], but finished pieces are mirrored to the wiki. Somewhat on hiatus at the moment due to my spending most of my free time on other Oni projects.
 
*Improving textures and 3D models
:My main focus lately has been improving the look of the key models (you know, the major characters). Particularly of concern to me was the huge discrepancy between the in-game 3D Griffin and Griffin as illustrated by [[Lorraine]]. [[:Image:Poly Mods-Griffin Notes.jpg|My comparison of the two Griffins]] (not uploaded yet). It's safe to say that the fine art of Lorraine, Oni's character designer, is to be considered more "correct" than the blocky model used in-game. So I'm basically doing two things with him: adding polygons to smooth things out, and altering his facial structure to conform with Lorraine's art (which also requires more polygons). [[:Image:Poly Mods-Griffin Master Comp.jpg|Sample of some early work.]]
 
:Currently working on Griffin's eye sockets. After that there's just some small work on the ears, maybe the hair, some clean-up of excess triangles, and we're done with the modeling! Then comes the process of texturing the new face and getting it kosher (proper UV mapping, normals...). That might be a lengthy step. It has also been pointed out that Muro is quite off-model as well, and I would like to tackle him next. I may or may not make a fairly quick detour to Konoko, to perform the same sort of detail-work that I'm doing with Griffin. I don't really think she needs to be remodeled like Griffin and Muro do, but I will appraise that situation when I get there.
 
*Future notions (things I'd like to try some day)<br>
:- General re-texturing of Oni's environments
 
:- Poly-modding other, less-important characters to make things look consistent
 
:- Scripting new scenarios
 
:- Modeling a new character, animating new moves for them
 
:- Top secret stuff (hint, it involves assembly code)
