Day Trip into the Past
Sunday, April 1st, 2007I was invited by a friend to join a day trip round three sites in the North West including a hill fort, some early mines and the stone remains of a burial mound. Getting into town to meet the coach almost proved a difficult proposition because the first bus only just got into the city […]
300
Friday, March 30th, 2007Went to see 300 a couple of days ago. I enjoyed it and was surprised because it was less styalised than I’d expected from some of the reviews I’d read. It’s success shows Gladiator wasn’t a one off revival of the epic. I did find it a little uncomfortable in places with the violence a […]
Cell Shading Tutorial from Brady Mac
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007I got a sneak peak at Brady Mac’s new Toon shading tutorial for Poser and Vue this week. It’s a very simple and effective way of bringing the two applications together to produce a different type of image. The picture above is the first one I made following the tutorial after a few quick test […]
Thursday Thirteen #1
Thursday, March 15th, 2007Thirteen Things random things about Mark Caldwell 1… I remember far too many useless facts for my own good but can’t remember a thing if I’m on a quiz team. 2… Being in high up places doesn’t bother me. My fear is unsteady high places I may fall off. 3… I’ve just joined the moderating […]
I'll be Back
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007Bad, Ugly Orange (there isn’t anything good about them at the moment) have had a week to try and fix whatever they’ve done to their service. Tech support has been a joke of doing the same set of tasks that assume I’ve got a fault and refusing to actually run a line check. Since I’m […]
Tim Berners-Lee v Congress
Friday, March 2nd, 2007I was checking some technical documents on the W3C web site and ran across this news report earlier " Tim Berners-Lee Speaks on Future of the Web to US Congress". The image reminded me of the footage of the House Un-American Activities Committee that was used so effectivelly in Good Night and Good Luck. So […]
New Vue Python Script: Cloud Builder
Sunday, February 25th, 2007Here is a new Python script for Vue 6 Infinite and Vue 6 xStream. It places a meta cloud sphere at the same position as all of the objects selected when it’s run. See the readme file in the zip for more information. As always I’m releasing it into the wild as a Beta here […]
Cop Night #3
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007More robbers than Cops tonight really. Just finished watching The League of Gentlemen which arrived from Amazon today. Not the situation comedy but the film from 1960 that the series took its name from in which Jack Hawkins and a hand picked crew of ex soldiers stage a bank robbery. The focus is on the […]
Cop Night #1
Monday, February 19th, 2007I feel a Cop Show theme coming on this week… So Waking the Dead’s run ended with a romantic twist for Boyd. Slightly subtler than CSI’s Sarah/Grisham matching dressing gown crime scene and foreshadowed a little more in the plot too. I’ve also been working on Serious and Organised. Boring equipment list creation. I’m torn […]
Serious and Organised Art
Saturday, February 17th, 2007I was thinking about the artwork for Serious and Organised tonight. Cars play a pretty big part in a lot of crime shows so I knew I was going to need some suitable models. Fortunately a thread on Renderosity reminded me of Design Modélisation Image that has some very nice free models of vehicles. The […]
