More old stuff

Found the frames lying around and finally animated them.

I'll give you a link as the file is 225k, but here is half the 1999 solar eclipse:

the eclipse - when it happened

and we were outside work lookin at it, someone asked us what we were looking at. She hadn't heard about it. We told her. She thought it was a lie and a government conspiracy.
stupid old bat.

must have blown her mind

when the sun went out then.

Love the idea of it being a government conspiracy. Name me a government knowledgeable and organised enough to move the moon in front of the sun.

Mind you, the person in front of me at the cash machine last week turned around after a minute or so and asked me what to do. She was still holding her card.

thankyou crab bloke, a feel better now

I think i will train them to make an enormous robot (the size of the moon) and world domination will be mine. I might get them to do it in a pyramid shape, and the bottom middle one can be riding a motorbike. They'd get round quicker then. Might take a bit of time tho. They are slow learners, which is also a problem.

Watch out

The ones lower down the pyramid will become dangerously sharp, as well you know. Slicing up the motorbike no doubt and causing a pile up. Unless you get them to so a tetraherdon, which you could pass off as a pyramid.

whats dreamless then?

this is also a sinister comment if you let your imagination go:

the pause should only have been a few seconds! During this wait I downloaded a 1Mb file in about 30 seconds

curses - all changed

it's here but it's the same as Praystation at the mo - kinda mathmatical/beautiful flash stuff - I'm actually (yeah right) really busy at the mo - if the m/board is still there I don't have time to find it. but it could be. If you're a designer type you might like it for the umm, you know, design, like. But I guess you've seen Praystation already. Joshua Davis's stuff...

was there a context?

(nic, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 4:59, archived)

context

yeah, just imagery on a web site.

uh oh.

not tall-buildings-and-aeroplanes.dot.com?
What are you gonna use for a picture NOW?

(

pep, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 5:03, archived)

its a business travel site

so basically, it's a similar dilemma. I'll use happy spiders from now on I think. And pandas.

so far so good

The company I work for makes images of buildings before they are built - a good %age of them are tall buildings.

eg:

Our clients _want_ pictures of tall buildings (but not necessarilly aeroplanes).

really?

is that all your company does? I like the idea of that. D'you think you might fall on hard times now tho? Maybe people will only want small buildings from now on? Is there an equivalent that just makes pictures of bungalows?

maybe we should break

into that market - search about for a thatch and rose trellis renderer plugin for StudioMax.

Pity, cos with tall buildings you just build one floor and duplicate away :)

So you would have all the technology

To render some pictures of 1500m high rabbits, marmots and stuff in an urban setting. I've got a handy lashed up marmot fur texture..

c'mon! Tall hairy buildings.

Don't tell me there's no market for that. I just will nOT believe you.

ooh fun

We've got a model of most of London lying around somewhere...
evil smirk...
have to see what I can get away with.

The idea of a hairy rendering of arsenal is very tempting...

This is the stuff

Oh yes, just bung it all at your render farm (maybe?) and make sure it does blue and pink fun fur whilst its at it. You'll get bags of respect from absolutely every one.

(

nicey, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 8:41, archived)

bags of respec'

from everyone except Nicey, who'll give you tea bags of respect, of course...
(ah hahahah, I'm SO fun..ny? Oh.)

That reminds me

Whats all this pyramid bag shite. The're tetrahedrons, sort it out Brooke Bond. They should be banging on about how tetrahedrons are really strong, not making out that their tea bags somehow have got Uri Geller knife sharpening properties etc etc

(

nicey, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 8:52, archived)

but if they DID have

knife sharpening properties I would be more likely to buy them tho.
I bet Brooke Bond will sort it out after your comment tho - I think the powers that be read this board ALL the time...yeah... they know who they are.

(

pep, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 9:15, archived)

Probably

Hope so. Mind you, you'd have to be carefull where you bunged your used tea bags as they would keep sharpening stuff like your bin bags or sink top. You could get a nasty cut.

(

nicey, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 9:33, archived)

I want tea bag sharpened bin bags

I could carry them as a weapon round the hood where I live.
have to b careful at home tho. You're right. You could have someones eye out if you weren't careful

(

pep, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 9:57, archived)

You wouldn't

be able to carry them on planes if they sharpened things. I wouldn't fancy flying with Nicey if he couldn't have his tea.

Good point love

Cause I always take my own tea bags to America, and typically they are PG Tips. So yes it is a good thing. Getting a nice of tea in America starts by bringing your own tea bags and ends by ordering boiling water. They don't like or understand it but I'm not keen on their slices of lemon so we are quits.

just look at that hairy arsenal

c'mon... you can't be that busy now surely...
