Here are a few animations I have made using Blender on my Linux box. They are all quite old. I have some new stuff, but nothing I feel really moved to place on this site.

Blender Animations

Solar System



My third "real" animation. A little trip through a part of our local solar system. My intentions were to combine this with the spacetaxi one previously, and then make another where the taxi picked up a passenger on Earth... but I never got around to this. I may come back and finish it in the future. The textures for Junpiter and Earth are from Nasa photos. The texture for the Moon was simply two different spackled effects with different gradients combined into one (I think it worked pretty well). The textures for the other planets and the asteroid belt I created in GIMP. I actually screwed up in this animation: During my hustle to do it, I forgot Mars... which is something I didn't want to do. Oh well. The total animation took my computer around 4 hours to render.

Crazy Space Taxi



My second "real" animation. This time, no ika's were hurt in the process ;) . Just your average crazy spacetaxi driver. Please note, this crappy little animation predates Sega's Crazi Taxi by around three years.

The Claw



My first animation with blender that constituted more than a camera careening about a landscape sparsely populated by simple geometric primitives. The lighting looks quite dark on most systems (other than my own), which has proven to be a reoccuring problem. Currently (and I see no reason why I should change this) there is only one resolution.

Other Animations

Unreal Stoned



Quite possibly several copyright violations. Sorry about that. It's just a funny animation I made (using a combination of the Gimp, mplayer, and a custom made perl script) from several Unreal Tournament images.

See, I run this gaming clan and we meet sometimes online to play games like Unreal Tournament (I play under Linux, of course). Well, one night our game was interrupted by a Farscape season premere, and all but three players left to watch the show. Those of us left goofed off for quite some time. The screenshots of that goof-off became this animation. Enjoy!

The movie is in Divx4... so you'll need a proper player (mplayer is my fav for Linux, but you Windows people should probably go here.
