To be honest I created really small pictures for the cube and the AA is off hence the poor compression look. I'm gonna be playing around a lot with this though....

OK, just before I go to bed, here's my very first try with Gocubic. Shows that it works and shows that my gallery has no doors. Great fun. I'll certainly be working on the other half of the gallery when time permits. Anyway the movie is here.

Many many thanks to madmax.

Done the built in one.... Like you say.... It's OK. Good as a test, but scewed. So I'm rendering at the moment to use Gocubic.... OK, this post is getting off topic. ;-)

Brilliant thanks. Playing with the built in QTVR thing in Bryce (which I didn't know it had) Really should read manuals more often.

I need the PC version and the link in the panoguide site is no good. AHHHH!!!! Looking for a download somewhere else now. If anyone has a copy, I'd be really grateful.

madmax! You are the man. This is exactly what I wanted. Off to play now.....

I was up all night polishing the floor. And then sliding up and down it the next morning. Great fun. And yeah, the portrait is me in my "try and look like a dark and moody artist type."

Don't have to be over 50 to understand. I like this. it's fun. Great pose as well. I can't quite make out the music.
Good luck. Although not too much of course. ;-)

I guess the silence is 'cause no one knows. Here's my take on it, but don't shoot me if I'm wrong. One of the 7 arts was cinema, which is movies. Most if not all movies have a screenplay, a large percentage of which are based on books. Then of course a lot of movies are then released as books. SO I think a picture based on a movie is fine whether or not it's book based. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Phil

I've never used an AMD chipset. People get stuck in their ways. I heard they are much faster, like you say. I think on floating point calculations especially, so 3d engines will fly on and AMD. I really shouldn't be so stuck on Intel. Try a bit harder to convert me. ;-) I agree totally about 3d graphics cards. When you see what games can produce in real time it makes you wonder why 3d apps are so slow. I use my laptop more than my clonky desktop and the LT has a decent card (for a laptop I'm guessing) ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 and I really like it. I can play Tron 2.0 on it, so what more could I possibly want. I'd like a bit more RAM though. I'm thinking that would help quite a bit. Anyay, with your home PC's do you use network rendering? That must help a lot. I just haven't had much luck getting it to work.

Shadow, all I can say is WOW!
I'd love to see what comptuer you're running at home.
My P4 curently can handle about 2.7 Billion calculations per second, maybe a few more, I haven't counted for a while.

The new Cray is gonna run at 40 trillion calculations per second. So it's a little bit faster.
I heard that IBM are working on one that will run at 49 trillion!!

A while ago there was a company that linked 233 PIII's together and created a computer than could run 122 billion calculations per second.

It might be 2003 but Cray has moved on too.

Good point about using old machines for rendering. I've tried network rendering too, but without much luck.

My last picture (of the Gallery) I have 18 or so radials and I set them to soft shadows and started the render on saturday and by tuesday evening it had just started the antialiasing, cool I thought, but by 8am the next morning... 8%

I saved it and then turned the soft shadows off and rendered again... 44 minutes!

Until I get my Cray, I can live without softshadows.

This is good for a laugh. animations I made ages ago before I really knew, er anything....

movies

Had a computer problem since then and lost all the models. The mpg's are all I have left to show. :-(
The minisub one is a bit large I'm afraid. But I quite like it. The sub was modeled from Bryce primitives.

Jumpship - You ain't missing much. Bit weird though. Thought I used the same compression. Maybe MPEG2. As for ship one. Yeah it is dark. I do that to hide the fact I cheated on the texture. Probably is too dark on a CRT, but looks okish on my LCD. Thunderbird... Maybe I'll do a bigger one. Anyone know how to animate the smoke?

This was a really short WIP to show how my jumpship would changeto horizontal flight.

These two are showing one of ships on fly by. One and Two

And the Thunderbird 3 model I made.

All the above have still in my gallery. The jump ship is in my free
stuff.

Check out xceiverx for loads of animations using some of my models.
