Happy birthday Kimberley Walsh from Girls Aloud!

Oh, and also happy birthday Chris, leader of this great state of AGSia.

I want to show off what I did the other day:

That is all.

Whether this is awesome or not, I'll let you decide. But as part of my "Creative Video" module, we were asked to film "A chase scene". This is what we came up with and I directed (as someone in our group had some Haloween costumes lying around):

Watch in amazement as we rip off about 50 other youtube videos!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS JONES, CREATOR OF ADVENTURE GAME STUDIO AND LORD OF OUR HEARTS!!!

I'm just about to give your show a shot, wolf. Huzzay!

This is quite impressive - people have found a way to generate 3D models from 2D images. It's not perfect, but it's certainly a start and it'll be interesting to see this sort of thing develop...putting ZILLIONS of 3D modellers out of work of course:

Whee.

Adam West starred in a pilot by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel back in 1991 that wasnt picked up... its about a TV detective who thinks he can solve real life crimes now that he's a washed up actor:

Al deserves a thousand "Happy Birthday" threads of his own. But for now I will settle for this one wish of many happy returns.

Happy Birthday Al_Ninio!

I'm gonna try & explain this simply, but in the best way I can. Please ask if you don't understand anything. I came up with this:



I've used a technique called "crating". Basically, you draw a box in your original perspective (that is, on the same planes) and fit your new shape into it. The red box is the construction lines, in which I have put a normal cube. You'll notice that I have put little blue lines in on the top surface a little from each corner - these are my starting points for the second box, the slanted box.

From there you can join these four points to create the top surface of the slanted box, which I have done in black. Then you can take vertical lines down from these top corners until they reach the corresponding bottom edges on the red construction box.

That should give you the simple wireframe for the shape you want (which I have in black)

That picture looks a little confusing I'll admit, so I removed all the construction lines and gave it a (VERY) simple renderng to give you an idea of what I think the shape should look like:



This is just how I would do it, there may be other ways.

Hope that helps

The solution was ALSO mentioned earlier in this thread:

PermanEnt, by the way.
