More infared Photographs

The bluish images are taken by adjusting the white balance to incandescent mode... i think it post-processes the red out, like the orange/yellow light from incandescent bulbs?

The crappy floppy disk filter seems to interfere less with the auto focus when on macro.

Biscuit tin banjo w. Piezo transducer pickup

A simple amp built from a kit attached to my rudimentary plank and can banjo by way of a piezo transducer- this picks up the physical vibrations of the strings in a flat piezoelectric crystal that produces equivalent in electric pulses (flexing piezoelectrics releases electricity). This is the audio signal.

apparenty the vibration of the tin body carries all the strings' vibrations through its own key, so they are all just different tones of the same note. (i may have got this wrong..)

Anyway, through the massive sound system it made your ears bleed, though its hard to hear in the video.

Next step: humbucker pickups and a solid body banjo!

Fist attempt at replicating didgeridoo lips.

Not very good, maybe bike inner tube will work?

Could a potter pot?

Many merry-go-rounds have static centre poles.

With a well wedged in chair, could a potter pot on it?

He is the one spinning 

red dirt fount

A prospective sculpture

Lands end

Things to do

Automated didgeridoo machine

Inteference cannon. Like a tank game?

Pow!

SUPERRED!

Hacked the front off an old digital camera and replaced the infrared filter on the CCD (the sensor) with a piece of floppy disc.

 

Floppy disc does the opposite, blocking visible light and passing infared.

Its not perfect infared (does not show infared released by heat) and its blurrier than the camera used to be, but it looks nice.

By changing the lighting settings on the camera you can get it red or purple. 

Cycloptonaut.

Right now i feel like an overawed astronaut

Sometimes i feel like a solid beam of light

astronauts are strange

i want to make astronaut pong, with ragdoll physics.

here is my astronaut. (with eyebeam)

i have rigged him, but unity does not like blender rigs

Gamz?

Sunset riders.

Oldschool. Free on the net. Runs straight from exe.

Sculptris.

 I found a new program called Sculptris. It is free, super easy and seems really powerful. It is hopeless for low poly modeling but for ease of use and intuition i have never seen anything like it, it is almost like having a ball of actual clay.

This fish is my first ever go. 5 mins with no tutorial, no instructions no shortcuts. Cool!

 

 Right now I have it in Blender, decimated so it has a reasonable number of polygons. Unfortunately I lost the nice paint job, but i made up for it by rigging a skeleton and will be animating it soon just for practice. I am a little rusty on animation.

Ty the tasmanian tiger.... There ARE australiana computer games out there.

"'Meet TY, a fearless Tasmanian tiger in the wild and untamed Australian wilderness. Skilled in the art of boomerang combat, TY not only survives the dangerous Australian Outback, he runs, jumps, swims, and glides through it. As TY, you'll encounter more than 50 wild characters based on real-life indigenous animals of Australia"

One of the first known mods. Castle Smurfenstein was created from Castle Wolfenstein. The nazis are smurfs. that is all. They fucking HATE smurfs.

There is a game called Vinyl Goddess from Mars. Her spaceship was hit by a meteor on her way to a cosmic comic convention.

Bad.

This game is improbably called ZZT  (....? why?) It has a level editor and therefore 1000+ levels nowadays.

My friend showed me Gnilley, you move around and when you YELL into your microphone it kills enemies, changes the physics, distorts your view or opens doors. Sometimes all of them at the same time. Amazing, watch the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYPwYfbi8jA (i did not record this)
