BIO
Started in 1981 with graphical simulation of industrial robots - part of my studies of math in Stuttgart (Germany). Then, by accident, 1984 Bavaria Film asked me to do computer animations for Enemy Mine (director Wolfgang Peterson, produced in Munich, Germany). That was my start into the more creative part of the business. From there on til 1991 i worked as an animation designer with several sorts of software (BTS FGS 4000, TDI, ...). We did commercial animations but tought students (from the Stuttgart Academy of Art) as well (half-half). After that i had the opportunity to make a move into event and "classical" design business. And there I still am - doing mostly print design in a little agency I am running with some friends. I kept always an eye on the 3D business, but only with the appearance of Vue d'Esprit on Mac i found a sort of way back into 3D graphics. This software for me is the ideal combination of easy-to-use and quality results so it was great fun to work with from the first moment on. Let's see where this all will drift to - who knows.

Oh, boy, can someone PLEASE stop Wabe burning everything down? This has gone too far :p Excellent scene, and great fire effects. Shame there is no smoke. No smoke, no fire, as the saying goes here. Anyway, I'll stop the verbose now, off to see some astronauts.

Agree with Bruno...you have become a dangerous pyro! The hose spray looks about perfect btw!
chippwalters
Yeah, really...between you and Monsoon, both are definitely a danger to the community. How about some nice fireworks in the sky or a beautiful fountain of water in the town square? ;-) Beautiful render by the way.

Yep......I gotta agree. Starting to worry me mate. LOL Nice work Walther.

.:Cool, do you think that a touch of black surrounding a larger area around the window would work? Maybe some charred bricks? - well done:.

Loos fantastic, Walther! Very well done!

Neat idea, but I'm wondering if the water jet should arc from the nozzle to the window. To have it in a straight 'beam' like that 'defies the laws of physics' (tm) :-)
