I was rendering this in a larger scene and I noticed that the reflections rendered ahead of the main effects in space .... so how cool is that life is preempted by reflection ! time to think about that! ... I think i have said it before, it is like pottery, the render is the firing of the kiln and although I have expectations to get a certain result I don't have all the cards in hand as there are reflections that are like the real world ... at least out of my control !

I found the cartoon renderer in Cararra and took a quick snapshot of the surface replicator forest .. I made some groups to replicate and gave them random sizes and rotations so they would look more like nature ... click to see it larger .. the tree was fashioned in Hexagon and ported to Cararra for renders ... and I made the new title bar above ...

I used this as my startup page in my website for a few weeks ... it was too load intensive to work for me perhaps a preload when i learn how to the animations were all running the clouds turned to rain ... the eternity symbol was a ball in motion ... the left column rotated ... all flash animations ... I liked the images and used them in my tarot project ..(must finish it)!!!!(!!!) ... but butt ...

This is a gathering of sticks from the jungle in Fiji ... I brought them back to my room and photographed them as well as making a totem in my room during the three months i was there ... and you have seen it or will see it in my 3D modeling ... odd how these things appear in my story and then i remember where i have seen them ... I modeled the twirl in Hexagon as I was learning to sweep paths then looking through the images on the mac to port across to the PC i found this as well as others to publish here .

physics in cararra

a small animation in Cararra showing the physics used to bounce the nectar gatherer on a reflective surface... I am amazed by the fine implementation of this ability in the program ... just love it ... need more RAM to get more out!

dummy runn

run dummy run! I noticed the mannequin lying on the shelf and realised it is the last of the clip models i used for a while now ... into reinventing the wheel again and realise that in my life this is what i have been doing all along ... reinventing unnecessarily but it seems unavoidable to me now ... it is just my approach to life I face the events that are my life and make it up as i pass along ... the fools own journey !...

shelf life

I have to hang my hat up for a while the present systems shelf life has come to pass ...

Boo Hoo .... I realise ( although long suspected) that the PC I am working on has limitations .... I need to fix it .... I was starting a render of the present world I am working in and had to make everything boxes to get the scene to move into camera sights soooooooooooo slow! I think RAM first then a faster processor ... well I will spend a bit more time on getting my art gallery into picasa ...
