this is another wallpaper  in the pipe works, its called world around us2.. no globes were used in this at all .

I'll be looking for it. good luck. BTW ... this new one ... If you don't mind ... what is it? I see the wrap around fractals but the round images ... they look like pumpkins.

Oh and I got something nearly finished just to tickle some funny bones or scare 'em, whichever comes first.

yup  they rotten pumpkins those damn zombies cursed 'em I was going to call it The World Around Us2, to go with the first  one I did Which is called The World Around Us

I haven't seen the first one. As soon as I get a chance I'll have to go look for it. Any word on the Feather Head yet?

Heigar's pumpkins look neat...I'm just getting up to par in 3D myself so I wonder why rendered grass always looks 'rendered' while the pumpkins look fine...is it because grass is so little and pixels are proportionally so large?

That looks awesome I.R. You shouldn't tease us like that. You might give one of us, me, a complex or something. What's it called?

 possibly, getting grass to render properly is still a mystery to me. The way  the grass is made could have something to do with it. I made my grass using fur and tweaking the hell out of it instead of modeling each individual blade ( 500,000 blades in my pumpkin pic).



 

A work of genius!

That's one killer upgrade, IR!

work of genius?  naw...more like a work of hair-pulling,pc cursing persperation.

And again! These little teasers are gonna put the servers in another twist. Besides ... its taking forever for these pages to load.

So what's it called? found the next. lol

Alright, alright ... who's been hiding stuff?? I checked out 'Slider'. That is one awesome blind. This update is gonna kick some serious butt. I so can't wait for this one! I'm callin' the Boss again. Maybe he's home this time. I even got 50 cents (bribe money) too.

hah...thanks amigos...heres a bit less teasy...way more gaudy...still a LONG way from complete but fun to look at.

I know what you're doin' I.R. Brainiac. I wasn't born tomorrow ya know. You got one of them miniaturizers hidden in your attic under the stairs. You lugged a big ole something or other up there and took it apart to reverse engineer it and now you're uploading it here in bits and pieces so he feds can't find it after discovering that their stolen UFO flying cigar type thingy went missing back in '09 and you figure the WC is a safe place to hide it and I have no idea what I'm talkin' about. The graphic is that realistic. Keep on rockin' dude.

Beautiful

I bet, You forgot to take your medication today.

I.R. your work is always amazing.

Portal Dream and Screen Saver WIP Preview

Pictured here is the Screen Saver format

Don't look. Bet if you do you'll forget which is which. Does the iris open and close? That would be really cool. Needs more color I think.

Wait till you see the moving edition.

I cant tell by looking what it was made with...I'm ruling out PS because animating with that would be hard...a 3D app maybe but the material has some aspects you dont see with standard materials...maybe gradient channels or a toonlike shader...I'm stumped.

Blender???? Unlikely but possible knowing how some people feel about Blender's UI.

All I know is it's video. And I think it involves winamp plugins, or a stansalone version thereof. Jimbo told me, I forget.....

Dude you are da man!!!!!

Blender has a media player that could do that. I'm just guessing though.

Spherical trigonometry: Yeap I paid attention in class....MilkDrop ( avalable at Winamp as an AVS plugin as a cool effect when listening to your music).Has a standalone app that is amazing.
This app takes my music ( and that of others) to a different level

Although, Blender is a more advanced than MilkDrop. Hmmm.

Here is the url. I have version 2.49b although it is not a beta. Fully functional but a bitch to work with. The UI is totally unlike any other 3D app.
