A5: texturing and displacement

Filed under: Graphics, zygote — 19day @ 23:57:20

Got a little ways in the graphics project today, displacement mapping and texturing seems to work.

here is a screenshot showing a plane with displacement, textured with a really bad temporary wood texture (that tiles).. the bluey sphere in the middle is the position the sperm will take (camera fixed).

Broken Google

Filed under: General — 19day @ 23:54:07

As I’m just really bored, I’ve decided to post about broken google.

For the first time I’ve ever seen, the google main page image is broken, looks like they were trying to put up a st patrick’s day related one, ah well.

Here’s the screencap

As of 11:53pm, it’s still broken.

Note: This is google.ca I’m talking about here

A5 (Project) underway

Filed under: Graphics, zygote — 19day @ 01:35:51

Since there’s nothing else going on in my life, might as well post about graphics project.

Started it in earnest now, with actually very little time left… looks like I’ve screwed myself, heh. anyway, here is the final proposal, hopefully it isn’t as terrible as all that. I’ll probably post with progress over the next couple weeks.

More Mystery Science Theater 3000, and, mysteriously enough, this became sort of an advert for a particular italian soft drink… but I assure you, it happened organically.
crow, tom, brio

This is the output from the raytracer I just spent 12 hours a day for the past 9 days working on.

Here is the manual

Edit: Now the picture links to a bigger version of the image

Edit 2: Got the mark back, I guess my scene was only 50% better than baseline acceptable. Begs the question, why the hell did I work so hard on it? Alas.

Started working on my graphics project (instead of… say… working on the last assignment which is due first, or studying for the midterm which is tomorrow)

Anyway, got a slight animation sample here, think it looks good enough.

Robot Roll Call – CamBot…. Gypsy…. Tom Servo….

CROOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! (That’s one ‘o’)

So here’s my puppet for the third graphics assignment. If you’ve never seen any of Mystery Science Theater 3000, then you are unlikely to know what this is, anyway, enjoy.

Here’s the manual

Feb 14th, we meet again

I’m really starting to dislike this month, not this instance of it in particular, but this month in general, as a month. It contains one of the more annoying days of the year, Valentine’s Day. Now, I dislike it anyway, the day, because basically it is just an attempt to get us to buy slips of ink covered cardboard, dead and soon to be rotting vegitation, and wax covered calories in boxes shaped like stretched labia… for someone whom we’re already presumed to have feelings for. A special day seems needless, and a moneygrab. Yes.

Except, the real irritation is that it’s a day where everyone is quite visibly in pairs, and nature abhors the single. And it provides a good benchmark, a stone in the road that one finds on each annual circle to remind themselves that nothing has changed, and, in this case, are now significantly worse.

Alas, I also find that if romantic disasters of any kind happen to me, they will happen in this month too, somewhere, as they have before, have now… and dare I stoop to beleive that they are likely to happen again in future. Basically, I’m going to say I don’t know. I put a lot of effort into convincing myself that nothing good will ever happen to me, based solely on the known nothingness I have come to experience… that used to be good enough for me. But I’ve also come to hope for things so extremely that I figure they must happen, cannot help but happen… to find that it happening was so far from what was likely or even physically possible that most would laugh at the prospect. So I can just as easily beleive in the inevitability of the good as well as the bad, and although I have experienced, I feel, a lot more of the bad than the good, I guess I might as well reduce myself down to what is actually knowable. Namely, nothing.

So I resolve my soul to free, through expecting and, through some extension, hoping for nothing, for hope drives expectation. I will endevour never to expect the good, or the bad, and live in a continuous series of moments, and whatever happens, happens, and no patterns exist.

I also have to remember that wise old saying, which I cannot remember entirely, but goes something like this: No matter how great you think someone is, someone somewhere is sick of their crap.

Second graphics assignment is done and marked. This one was a little less impressive visually, but all the work was in the math. We had to, given points, translate, rotate, scale, view, project them properly, and then draw the resultant 2d lines in the viewport… manually. Lots of matrix multiplication I can tell you.

Here’s a shot:

And here is the manual (due to who’s apparent ‘conversational language’ I lost a half mark) here

Graphics A1 defeated

Filed under: Graphics — 19day @ 01:05:50

Finished my first real graphics assignment… spent so much time in the lab… utter waste though, did all this extra crap, and it’s not worth anything mark-wise, but I hope the experience is worth something in the end.

Here is a picture:

tetrominoes

You might think this is a 3d version of tetris… it is not, check the window name… this is Tetrominoes… legally distinct :P

Yeah, we had to do this game for A1. A2 looks less visually exciting, but I’m sure it will raise the bar in the utter-futility factor.

Addendum: Here is the manual for interested parties.
