Sidetracked…
I’ve just had a client ring up and ask me to do some final tweaks to a particle accelerator animation, so the showreel stuff is on hold until I get that done. Because I like getting paid – makes me feel all validated and stuff.
To keep things rolling, though, here’s a link to some physicsy stuff that I did earlier in the year. The red subatomic stuff at the end was done by fellow ‘lancer Iain Welland, an all-round good-egg. Point of note, the building did originally have much nicer surfacing and lighting, but they wanted it to look like the CAD illustration in their pamphlet. Them that pays, says…
There was quite a fun bit at the beginning of this film as well, so here’s a procedural sun that I wallopped together for this. One of the physicists on the HiPER gig asked which SOHO pass the renders were from, so I feel pretty good about that.
Update: Well, this is what so productively occupied my day. At least it’s for the good of Mankind. Firefox users, you may not see the “play” button, it’s the black bit on the black bar in the bottom left hand corner. Just click around there a bit, it’ll play.

That’s wonderful, and actually educational as I now understand how they are going to do Fusion. Do you have one on how they are going to contain the heat and not melt the facility (or should I watch Spiderman 2?)
Seriously though the Blog is excellent and I think you’re on to a winner posting about your work stuff as it’s actually interesting and is likely to reach your intended professional audience if you’re lucky.
keep it up mate.
BTW, the BBC voiceover on that piece makes it so Hitch Hikers Guide that it’s brilliant
Yeah, the VO guy was great. And I do like using my physics. The guys at Rutherford-Appleton seemed really happy dealing with someone who grokked the language.
