I had to dump the rendered frames off on to the video playback server every 4 hours for about a week over Christmas 1996 because the local disks would be full. That was a weird week !

- SixSigma 11y agoI met the Boos a few times but I don't really know their music. We had their heads scanned in at a specialist place in London and went to one of their shows. I got on with Martin and I particularly enjoyed the sequence flying around inside his psychedelic head. I made the animated textures and mapped them with C++ and then 3DS did the rendering. The walking tiger is from a plastic toy. I took a scan on an A4 flatbed scanner, rotated it, took another scan until I had a full rotation. I then turned the outlines into vectors with the same number of vertices and made those into a triangulated solid. The three minutes of video took about three months of very long days.
