Now you can join forces with other NiubNiub fans to share your Diorama pictures and tips and even make new friends. This will be a great new addition to co-exist with NiubNiub's Visitors section. Click here to join the NiubNiubsUniverse.com fan page.
Monday - March 02- 2009DIORAMA RESOURCES - NEW DESIGNOne of the most useful things you can use if you want to create movie accurate dioramas are great resources. I have updated Niub Niub's Resource Guide Menu with a new look. For now only the BOOKS sub-section has the new design. Here you will find a listing of all the books I use when starting a new diorama. Some may already be in your collection. Others you may want to order on Amazon or at your local bookstore. More sections updated later in the week if....
MAJOR MACBOOK DREAMWEAVER PROBLEMSFor 2 weeks now, I have been having some really funky things happening to my dreamweaver pages. Once uploaded, they bug for Safari, I don't know why all of a sudden after 9 years of working perfectly, and now a * symbol mysteriously appears on NEW PAGES I AM DESIGNING - WHICH IS WEIRD AND I AM THINKING THE CAUSE OF MY PROBLEM. oops caps, sorry ;p Also, NOW a SEVERE LAG is preventing me to type, and even OPEN my main page (the one you are reading now) normally. it took me over 1 hr to just type these 5 paragraphs. ONE LETTER POPPING UP ON SCREEN every 45 seconds after typing. NOT normal. If I can't figure it out, I will have to wait till March when I return to Montreal to have friends who are tops in programing to check it out. Hopefully, Ill figure it out. Stay tuned...
Monday - February 23 - 2009C:VR - CHARACTER ANIMATIONS - NEW DESIGNToday's update brings us a new menu for Niub Niub's CV:R CHARACTER ANIMATIONS. In this section you can see figures 360 degrees AND animated. Not only looks cool but can maybe let you decide if it is worth buying and adding to your collection.
PROBLEMS WITH SAFARI WEBROWSERArghhhhh !!!!! the downside of NOT having ONE single standard for the web. You work hard and see your page on your computer screen and upload it thinking everyone will see the same thing but nooooooooooo, surprise surprise, for some reason, the new pages seem to be bugging out for those of you using SAFARI 's webrowser. The weird thing is that those same pages work PERFECT when using FIREFOX. I ust don't get it. I will try to get some friends of mine to look into this problem when I return back to Montreal later in April. Meanwhile, if you do have Firefox installed on your computers, I'd suggest to view the site using that webbrowser for now. Sorry for the confusion.
Monday - February 09 - 2009FAQ TIPS AND TRICKS NEW DESIGNOne more section gets the deluxe treatment today. Niub Niub's Frequently Asked Questions Tips and Tricks is back online and less of an eyesore then the old broken pages. In this section I am hoping to help as many of you as possible who are stumped on their diorama creations at home. If you have a question that you think will help others, please don't be shy about sending it in. I hope you all had a great weekend, stay tuned for more updates later in the week.

Tuesday - January 20 - 2009BACK ONLINE : EMPIRE STRIKES BACK DIORAMAS !!!After almost 1 year offline, today I have fixed all the links to my Empire Strikes Back Dioramas. ![]() Since the main reason you guys come to visit is to view the dioramas and how to make them at home, it is a little embarrasing that it took this long to bring them online again. Every page has been given the new design and BIGGER photos. You can view them for the first time or have fun revisiting some of your favourites. Hoth Rebel Base, Wampa Cave, Bounty Hunters, Vader's secret and my fave...

Thursday - January 15 - 2009MORE STAR WARS EPISODE 4 DIORAMASHey guys... what's up? I found some time off my busy ILM production to put up the FINAL links to the Episode 4 Dioramas. Head on over to the Diorama section to view all the Death Star scenes. From my early 1999 scenes like the Chasm, Detention Block, Jedi Duel and Destruction of Alderaan. Then you can see two of my all time favourites... Deluxe Trash Compactor and the Imperial Conference Room. And for the first time ever... not seen since the Diorama Workshop at Celebration III... the Falcon Docking Bay. One of my MOST MOVIE ACCURATE scenes yet !!! I just wish I still had it at home so I could take pictures of it with the NEW MEGA Falcon. I guess I will have to make another ;p Time for bed, I have a shot to deliver today, did I ever tell you all how cool it is to work at ILM :) stay tuned for Empire Strikes Back Dioramas on the weekend...

Tuesday - January 06 - 2009HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ILM !!!1) I'm so sorry I have been so so slow to update this last year. I was swamped with my cinema renovations (go to BluRay.com to see the results (and vote for me ;p - look for NiubNiub in the "most popular galleries" button on the left) and busy with Mom's Alzheimers. 2) Happy New Year !!! I wish all my loyal readers the BEST for 2009. I know it will be an amazing one. 3) I am back in San Francisco working at Lucasfilm's Industrial, Light & Magic. I legally can't tell you which summer blockbuster I am working on but it's gonna be a great year for Summer Movies !!! What I can say is that being in San Francisco gives me a lot of FREE time at night, until the overtime kicks in, so I will be busy getting the Diorama section fully operational before month's end. This way you can at least link to the cool dioramas that started this whole adventure 9 years ago. I will update with some NEW HOPE pictures by friday. until then... Have a great weeke... Frank D.
