Antoni Gaudi's cathedral design, La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is amazing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lYdrhYYWpg Check out the balconies and walkways many stories above ground level. There's a pretty cool photo on this page (scroll way down) that shows his method of calculating angles for an arch using weighted bags hanging from chains. here's more of that

of a pale moon? http://ppcdn.500px.org/76599039/07d1e6dfe027be7e8f4ee945d96c5a68c91ddbb6/2048.jpg Over a couple sleepless nights with the new kid. Almost unbearable when on a 32 inch tv rather than a 3D IMAC screen. So frustrating, so much potential, so many stupid cliches and logic gaps and plot holes.
That movie.
When you leaf through the 'Art of Prometheus' they dwell on each of the new things in it and all the stuff that was designed for it, and describe exactly how this or that evolved from an idea that did or did not make it into Alien. Presented in that format, there are no bad ideas in the bunch and it all makes a perfectly natural kind of sense. You could see all that and grumble "boy someone should take all this cool shit and make a movie with it" (which I think was the first thing I said about Prometheus on the drive home from the theater) but my takeaway now is that when you're creating something so huge and expensive, where you have no idea how it's really going to turn out until it comes together at the very end, it's easy to have nothing but good ideas and still not be able to predict how they might fail to assemble. Which is exactly the same 'bubble' game development teams work in. (however, if you could blame any one thing directly it would totally and absolutely be the screenplay)

Check them out before the orthodox Russian powers try to nuke them or something... You guys may have already seen this, but it's pretty interesting.

Dunno who made this drunk statement, was it me? So here are some photos from the current ESA Rosetta Mission. Those pictures might look like ESA hasn�t got the funding to finance a good (color)camera. Flight started 10 y ago, so they have state of the art, 10 y old.. Which means these pictures aren�t actually b/w, but taken in infrared. Guess why? Right! Space is even darker than Shamblers ass, so ordinary "photo shooting" won�t work... So, here we have real out of world geometry, just look at the pictures.. Mind the resolution though, this thing is huge.. (5km?) Here is a animation of the probe slowly approaching these rocks:Slow approach Next challenge will be the landing of the probe(or parts of it)on this piece of floatrock.. And the monolith there... |
