Symphonic Energy Visual Effects -- Websites -- Programming -- Art

WHEw!!!!! Woo Hoo ! Upgraded the site to drupal 6.12!! That hurt some but it seems to work ok. Of course my custom theme didn't get converted or isn't compatible but that's ok for now.

If I have time I'll convert it. Most likely I'll create a new one.

Wholy Schnikey this is fast!

Real Time Ray Tracing!!!!  It's about time somebody did it!

Run this command in the terminal to get the full path to show up in the  finder.  (Leopard)

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES

Then restart the finder. (did this via the force quit app).

I love open source stuff and visual effects.  It's my dream to one day have a studio where we use all open source stuff... But right now here are some hang ups with just regular day-to-day stuff that I can't get working in linux.

Call me a geek,  whatever..  but this is great!

Might want to try this out.

A list of open source VFX software. Please add your recommendations as comments:

These are all the digital asset managers -- DAM -- I've found to date. Most of these specialize in the vfx industry.

Wanted to do some research on a list of VFX companies that have gone unde /down or closed doors at one time or another.  They will be listed here even if they have later resurected in some form or fashion.

.vimrc file that I like.

File is attached but renamed to vimrc without the dot so that the MacOS finder can see it.

It requires the attached tar ball of vim plugins.

Gotta love those crazy Norwegians.

 Another blog post about Lightstream Animation.

Let's see how this works.

Here's the *nix prompt I like:

It has colors and all sorts of things. 

export PS1="\[\033[40m\]\[\033[1;31m\]\u\[\033[1;37m\]@\[\e[1;32m\]\h \[\e[1;33m\]\w \e[1;31m\]>>\[\033[0m\]"

then if you have dircolors this can be useful too.

Notice the different download rates. 

1. speedtest.com
2. machine monitor
3. firefox download
4.
