Rune's World Update, Feb 16 2002

Rune's World is updated again!

http://rsj.mobilixnet.dk

I don't want to bother you by sending out these updates too
many times a year, so there have been a few updates on the
site since the last newsletter. I'll begin with the newest
one.

Some of you may have seen my particle system in action
showing things like flowing water and the like. This time I
have tried to create an explosion using my particle system,
as it seemed like an obvious and interesting task. Instead
of using media, which renders very slowly, I wanted to see
how far I could take regular textures on spheres. You can
see the result on my Animation Experiments page:

About a month ago I created and released a lip synch system
for POV-Ray. You can use it to set up, pose and animate a
mouth in a toony, yet convincing style. Many predefined
phoneme and expression lip poses make it easy giving life to
the mouth, and powerful weighted morphing techniques offer
great control and precision. you can get the system on my
Include Files page and see a demo animation for it on my
Animation Experiments page:

In the last newsletter I mentioned a walking system which I
had used to animate a spider. I have made another test with
the system where it's my character AL the Alien who's
walking (and stopping and turning around). That was on
January 2 this year. You can see the animation - guess where
- on my Animation Experiments page. I think I listed the
link above a few places...

As always, I appreciate feedback from you, so please drop me
an e-mail and tell me what you think! :)

Regards,

Rune
