ANGRY DOME!

I love it.

I was thinking Jeff Minter...

Heh, oh yes I remember. I have a feeling a certain squirrel is not looking forward to another encounter with one of these.

Amy vs. Walker

Actually, the "Amy vs. Walker" animations were parodies of these awesome stop-motion works by Brian Williams (not of NBC, at least I don't think so) /Imaginetics:

I'm trying to work a little closer to the source material this time.

Huh ......I never knew that, but good all the same

Run Amy!!

Intriguing - definitely old-school too, and not just for the Commodore in the background. The shadows are rather fuzzy looking, odd kinds of artifacts on it...but I'm assuming that's primarily for two reasons - A) the software you're using, and B) the hardware you're using. I can accept these sorts of fuzzy shadows, since they're basically the result of the limitations of doing 3d work on a single computer, ESPECIALLY rendering.

That makes me curious actually - am I right in thinking this was rendered on an Amiga version of Lightwave? I recall you toying around with that some years ago, and more recently with that "Still Alive" music video you made with traditional hand-drawn and 3d rendering.

Yes, it's Lightwave. (V5.2, last Amiga version.)

<3

sadly I'd wanna cannibalize it if it had SID chips in it...

anyone got a staple gun?

Was it 99 hits, or a 103 hits to blow one of those damned things up?

very cool

didn't Amiga get a copy of the ESB video game before everybody else?

Cool pic!

Ah yes, I remember that cartoon, as well as that amusing little loop on your DVD.

I love to see the Commodre logo in there!

Damn typo! Commodore!

This is a great render of the walker. Nice job on the metalic texture and the classic shape of the walker.

Wish I could take credit. Aside from some tweaks, the walker and computer objects are off-the-shelf (from free mesh websites and CD-ROM collections.) Most of my contribution was setting up the scene layout and lighting (and motion for the animation)

Ah, I see.

Well I think you could really do some awesome 3D work.

Did the original two Walker Demos feature a 3D model, or a digitized stop motion sequence of a physical model? I'd always presumed it was 3D but recent viewings made me question that assumption.

I'm pretty sure they were stop-motion model photography.

Oooooh yeah I remember this!! :D

*Smiles* Oh, deffently rember this one, EWS. Staple Gun 2.0!

One of my friends was a big Amiga fan. In fact he's the one who introduced me to your artwork in the first place. Me, I had an Apple IIGS. In fact I still have it in the closet because it's one with Woz's signature on it...
