Author Daryn Bullock’s new book ‘The Undead City Ouroboros’ is a humorous horror story that tells the tale of a former city that was lost to zombiesRecent release “The Undead City Ouroboros” from Newman Springs Publishing author Daryn Bullock is an engrossing horror story about a city named after a pharmaceutical enterprise. The city is overtaken by unbelievable monsters.

PEORIA, Ill. – December 23, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Daryn Bullock has completed the new book “The Undead City Ouroboros”: a gripping and potent horror story about a town that receives reports of large bulls, zombies, and other monsters roaming the streets. The validity of the claims of monsters, zombies, and a new virus is under speculation. The report of the military being called into the city after WASP’s failed investigation into Ouroboros labs is only confirmed by satellite imaging.

Author Daryn Bullock writes, “It was a nice day out today: the mid-October smell was in the air, the birds were chirping, and it was getting slightly cold out. If it wasn’t for the job calling me out of the blue, I would’ve enjoyed days like this at the park or watch a movie with Helga. While I love being a part of WASP, with the number of calls that started popping up recently, I have to say that it is odd, especially in a city as quiet as Ouroboros.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Daryn Bullock’s compelling tale tells the story of what happens to this city after terrible monsters take over. 

Readers who wish to experience this suspenseful work can purchase “The Undead City Ouroboros” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.

Having been incarcerated for the thefts listed throughout the book, C. Thomas has taken the time to reflect on the path his life took and how he wound up where he is today. In hoping to redeem himself, he’s written this book detailing his life and how things ended up where they did. Not to glorify the acts, but to journal the real accounting and tell the story from the mouth of the Las Vegas “Million-Dollar Burglar”.

“Million Dollar Burglars” opens up with a snippet from the Las Vegas Review, telling the story of the arrest of the labeled “Million-Dollar Burglar” who stole millions of dollars of jewels, furs, and other valuables on top of hard cash from several homes and businesses in the Las Vegas region. Detailing his sentence and the final decision from the courts, the story goes into his own words and how he ended up where he did.

And above all of this, the author hopes to bring to life the injustices children in poverty face, why they may turn down these roads, and what society can do to help them before it becomes too late.

CGTrader Building a Foundation for the Metaverse

CGTrader Building a Foundation for the MetaverseWorld’s largest provider of 3D content revises platform to drive creation, streamline access of metaverse-ready models

ORLANDO, Fla. – December 22, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

In response to the growing demand for 3D models that are optimized for use in virtual reality environments, CGTrader, the world’s largest marketplace for 3D content, is building processes that will encourage creation of 3D model “building blocks” of the system and make it simpler and faster for companies developing metaverse projects to find and purchase those models.

The metaverse is a virtual shared space that may be the next generation of the internet. It is created using a combination of technologies, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), head-mounted displays, artificial intelligence, and more.

These virtual spaces need 3D models as their building blocks, and CGTrader has started seeing a growing market demand, especially from major players like Meta, Nvidia, and others. However, different platforms can have different requirements, and 3D assets are complex. 

In response to that demand and to speed and streamline development of the metaverse, CGTrader is building dedicated listing pages for metaverse software packages and launching a process to rapidly increase the number of compatible 3D models. 

In the first phase, a marketplace model review already has populated the new listing pages with batches of 3D models dedicated to specific metaverses or use cases like Unity, Unreal and TikTok. The second phase will allow the CG Trader designer community of more than 90,000 designers to participate by applying for specific models to have metaverse badges, which can rapidly increase the number of models listed for specific metaverses or use cases.

CGTrader’s third phase is building an automated 3D model validation pipeline to compare and check models to specific requirements, with the ability to convert models into selected specifications.

“Combining all three of these phases, we can grow the number in each category very significantly,” said CGTrader CEO Dalia Lasaite. “This initiative also will help creators, by improving access to the tools for 3D model design for people who have an aesthetic vision but may not yet have developed advanced technical skills.”

CGTrader’s listing structure begins with a focus on six metaverses/other digital platforms categories: 

  • Spark AR, an augmented reality platform from Meta, for Mac OS and Windows, that lets users create AR effects for mobile cameras; 
  • Snap AR, technology owned by Snapchat’s parent company that creates AR assets from existing product photography;
  • Omniverse, Nvidia’s suite of cloud services for artists, developers and enterprise teams to build metaverse applications;
  • EffectHouse, TikTok’s tool for creating, publishing and sharing AR effects for TikTok;
  • Unity, a cross-platform game engine that is used to create interactive 3D experiences for a wide range of platforms;
  • Unreal Engine, a game engine developed by Epic Games that is used to create high-quality 3D graphics and immersive environments.

CGTrader currently lists more than 42,000 metaverse-compatible models available across the six categories, with the number growing daily.  

“Introducing these metaverse 3D model categories will be a good step forward to building more content compatible with all the new digital initiatives, and to initiating collaborations with the leading platforms on how to build more relevant content ready-to-use on their products,” Lasaite said. “The demand on each of the dedicated pages will indicate to us where the market is moving and what type of content our designer community should focus on.”

CGTrader’s next steps, Lasaite said, will be continued work with the designer community to increase the supply, improving the UX of the content users to find what they need, working with the platforms on building more use cases, and sharing those use cases with the 3D community.

Marlana DeMarco Hogan’s New Book ‘Growing Up in the Torrone Zone’ is a Delightful Children’s Story About Beloved Family Traditions Being Passed Down Through GenerationsRecent release “Growing Up in the Torrone Zone” from Newman Springs Publishing author Marlana DeMarco Hogan is a captivating children’s book about a hardworking young boy delighting in his family’s annual torrone making. Inspired by the author’s own parents, this book pays homage to heritage and family traditions.

NEW YORK – December 22, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Marlana DeMarco Hogan, a retired Italian teacher and the child of Italian immigrants, has completed her new book “Growing Up in the Torrone Zone”: a charming and inviting tale about an Italian family’s favorite holiday custom: making torrone.

Hogan writes, “‘Growing Up in the Torrone Zone’ is a story about a hardworking little boy and the joy he finds while helping his family to make torrone, a traditional Italian candy, for the annual town festival that takes place atop the small mountain town he calls home. Every step is filled with fun and excitement, from going down the mountain to buy the torrone ingredients to preparing the delicious candy treat. Treasured memories are made with family and friends…in the torrone zone.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Marlana DeMarco Hogan’s adorable tale follows a young boy as he eagerly helps his parents make torrone for the festival. This is something he looks forward to every year and a tradition that he truly treasures – one that he plans to pass down to his children and grandchildren someday. But this isn’t just a children’s story; it is inspired by the author’s own family.

Marlana DeMarco Hogan’s father knew her mother was the one for him when she walked into his family kitchen to borrow a weigh scale as he was making torrone for their town’s annual festival. A heartwarming story told over and over again with love at family gatherings, Hogan included it. “Growing Up in the Torrone Zone” is a love letter to her immigrant parents and Italian heritage.
