No World Order

Can't you read? Moron.

Zoecom was magic. I worked there. It changed my life.

Thanks so much Till for taking the time to describe the process. Still amazed whenever I watch those videos on the desktop collection release. All of these works stands the test of time. Pioneers you are ......

Thanks Till, you guys were WAY ahead of the curve. The hours devoted to rendering all that video are inconceivable by today's standards, and the artistic and "message" content has rarely been equaled. Todd's new autobiography gives some insight into your process. You are featured in quite a few chapters!

Going through some old VHS tapes to prepare for a move, and found Todd's "The Desktop Collection" video, which has Change Myself, Property, Fascist Christ, and a bunch more. Had to pop on RUclips to watch them again (don't have a working VHS machine), and was pleasantly surprised to find your comments. Thanks for sharing more about how it all came together!

It is a work of art and understand the feat it was. My colleges directir, Jim Hollan authored the SIGGRAPH submission Stan and Stella breaking the ICE, which he said was a proof of concept used to sell HD Television in the 80s when he worked fir Sony, I think it was. I owned three Amigas, I still have an Amiga 3000 which ai regret as the 2000 was toaster compatible.. I pushed the use of blender BTW, and if you ask Brad Carvey, ot Brads sysadmin, Mark Fleharty, they know me. As well as Mark Henne of Pixar, Ton Roosendaal, and Nic Panagos who worked on Kung Fu Panda. I'm no longer an animator, I could have made it as technical director. I once used Makefiles to render wrangle. And if you search for my animation Rise of The Thorax, keep in mind a SGI employee told me it helped sell SGI's and Wavefront, which predates Maya. I believe Alias arrogant management was the reason I was forced onto the Maya platform after they pulled licensing for Kinemation, 3Design, Composer and the TAV suite. But if that didn't happen, I wouldn't have the distaste for computer aided licensing or DRM which takes tools and media outof the hands of artists and consumers. Supporting blender was necessary for two reasons: artists should always have access to their instruments just as accessibility to trumpets drove Jazz among poor black artists.. Anyhow, I understand DRM is needed by some to survive, but I can argue that to pirate software is a great way for people to install malicious software on their computers, and is why jailbreaking phones makes you vulnerable. Apple will not permit apps onto the app store that permit people to compile applications on the platform as it might introduce viruses and malicious exploits.. Linux has an installer app store it is called synaptic, I think.. And the purpose is to guarantee users never are exploited by middle man and the vulnerability that comes from untrusted sources. Also the GPL license prevents packaged distribution of licensed libraries, to encourage reuse, prevent security vulnerabilities and decrease fragmentation, and save space. It is combinations of these ideals, that make Linux and the like better platforms. Note Windows is plagued by security holes and fragmentation because they haven't adopted open source (which is not making software free, it is a superset of GPL'd freeware). Anyhow.. Blender is the "little O" in runtime software behavior, the fire beneath the ass of commercial developers, the strive to innovate beyond common sensical intuitive development of tools, it maintains that products that enter the market place have purpose and utility favorable to consumers.. It should inspire developers to know the artists and share knowledge. Anyhow, sorry for the Rant.. But keep in mind if it weren't for competitive free software that infringed on patents like BMRT, there might never have been shaders for the NVidia graphics cards that make realtime realistic graphics apart from the limitations of raytracing, such as the artistic needs to tell stories, such as Pixars need to present the reflection of Buzz lightyears face in his helmet when light simulation would warp that shot..

Till Krueger oh BTW, my first inclination to get the Amiga, was ignorance due to clever exploits like the boing demo which was just a circle with CLUT (COLOR LOOKUP TABLE) cyclic animation. And even the Mac had no apps for year after its release. I sorta hated waiting for NewTek advertising fir years before the Toaster was available. It reminds me of the time it took SGI to force the merging of Alias, Wavefront and TDI into a single product, why couldn't they just have not forced users onto a unproven platform and not have used Chris Landreth to lie visually. Chris could make Bingo with anything as I'm sure he just used simple relative key-framing to make that demo. And according to Ton Roosendaal in an interview with Blender GURU, he deduced from Autodesk stock filings, that there is no more than 15,000 licenses of Maya today, and both 3DMAX AND MAYA Comprise less than a hundred million of Autodesk's revenue a year. See what pissing off artists like me do.. Also, I know that why SGI WAS forced to purchase ALIAS, WAVEFRONT AND TDI, is Microsoft in 1996 announced at SIGGRAPH in New Orleans, the best SIGGRAPH I ever attended, that they had bought Softimage, all the developers and companies feared being forced out of business by Microsoft.. But what killed them, was an over-zealous arrogance for power, and unfair treatment of sincere consumers. I pleaded with Wavefront to sell me a license of TAV, they denied their fiduciary responsibility ti SGI's creditors to permit me to pay thousands for software. what inspired Ton to develop Blender the choice of buying SGI hardware juxtaposed to buying software, he bought SGI's for his company and implemented his own solution.

too smart to be a hit - same with the structure containing 2 counter-melody middle 8 thingies - IMo Todd was entering a golden age, Arena LP much later has some dandies -the Amsterdam Metropole/Paradiso show from 2012 is awe-inspiring

you are correct, actually...I've been meaning to correct the years of those 3 music videos I did with Todd but have been locked out of my KruegerVP RUclips account until I'm back in the USA and can check my SMS messages for RUclips's security code to get back in...I tell ya', technology!

The seed of war.

yes, it is...we lost all of the original masters for these music videos, so I had to capture them off the Desktop Collection DVD, which isn't ideal because of the interlace that had to be eliminated, halving the vertical resolution (not quite, but in essence...certainly no comparison to our original 480 progressive versions).

yup, a render farm of 20 Amiga 2000's that our late friend and co-creator Eric Myers networked with a self-written serial-based sneaker-net.

thanks, Chris...I also still love playing it from time to time to remind myself of where we come from and how far we've come.

You said it...those were amazing times...I traded my first computer, a Mac Classic, for a new Amiga 2000 after hearing of its video and multi-tasking capabilities...they, like us, were many years ahead of the times.

thanks, lemmno...much appreciated!
