Random find on an external harddrive. Renders I made in 2010 that kinda sparked the idea for that animation.

Maybe if I just start texturing and UV unwrapping it maybe I'll have more ideas on what needs more work on.

Sean Hargreaves just uploaded some intriguing concept art for a cancelled Star Trek project to his portfolio. No other information is given, but most of it features designs for a Starfleet assembly building.

First pass on some sounds, implemented checkpoints, camera system closer to Crash 2, death states and quick first design pass of the first half of the level.
Starting to feel like a game now!

Cover of ANALOG Computing magazine, issue No. 13 (September/October), priced at $2.50. The tagline reads, โ€œThe Magazine for Atari Computer Owners.โ€ The artwork depicts an Atari 1400 XL computer keyboard integrated into an elaborate, circuit-like sci-fi panel with intricate wires, pipes, and glowing components. A large golden scarab beetle design with wings is featured above the keyboard, blending Egyptian symbolism with futuristic technology. In the bottom right corner, article highlights are listed: โ€œROUNDUP, BOOT CAMP, SPACE ASSAULT, FINE SCROLLING, BASIC UTILITIES COMPARED.โ€

A scan of the About the Cover section from ANALOG Computing magazine. The text explains that for this issue, the editors asked artist Michael D. Law to create the cover instead of using photography. Law, described as a โ€œmobileโ€ artist, had experience in science fiction and fantasy art, along with other styles. The cover was inspired by the surreal, biomechanical work of Swiss artist H.R. Giger, best known for his designs featured in Ridley Scottโ€™s film Alien. The editors remark that the Atari logo may never again appear in such an imaginative setting and encourage readers to continue following future covers.

I adore how seriously we took making original art for our little computer magazines in the 1980s

Saturday night lighting experiments. Using lights to paint the object with light, colour and shadow. A departure from my usual sci-fi stuff, good to stretch the old brain a little. #Lightwave3d

I'm now completely happy with the effect, all the bugs, errors and jumpiness are gone! I'm 100% on this, no weirdness, no oddness, everything works from all the angles I'd ever want. All done in camera!

I've officially been staring at this too long. I have no idea if it's good or not anymore. ๐Ÿ™ The blend from Cloaking to Not Cloaked is still too abrupt, more work needed. These shots were chosen to sort of showcase the "worst case" scenarios of the technique I'm using. 4K in ๐Ÿงต!
