Greetings and Salutations! Welcome to C4's wonderful little tavern. It has been a while since last updated this page. So Sorry... I have been real busy with work, school, and my 3D art. Yes, 3D art. It is something that I just got into a couple of months ago. It is amazing what you can create when you learn how to do it. My problem was that I was having to figure out MetaNURBS, Boolian Curves, Splines, Beziers, etc. without any formal teaching. It was kinda fun. Just recently I saw Phish in Charlotte. That show was rockin!!! I haven't heard an overall excellent show like that in a long time. Don't get me wrong, they always jam, but that show rocked. Anyway, I am desperately trying to figure out how to post all the photos I have when I am limited to 2MB of space!! I have got to get some room in here.
Phish is the music I love. I cannot put it any simpler. The beauty of their music will never become apparent to you until you take the time to get personal with it. This may sound strange, but you should really try this. Go somewhere where you are alone and everything is dead silent, get real comfortable, and just listen. Listen to everything going on... all the little sounds in the background that you never even knew were there. Get to know the feeling of the music. You will enjoy the music so much more once you do this. Phish has so many intricacies that just make the music that much more pleasurable.
I have been working with 3D Studio MAX and Lightwave 5.0c and I have produced some decent results. My only quibble is that the learning curve for both of these programs is so high. I have had a hard time learning it all, but now that I have learned the basics, I am ready to move onto bigger projects. At the present time, I am modeling and rendering Charlotte Coliseum with Phish on stage playing. I am animating everything: from Trey's head swinging, Jon's drum playing, and Mike's swaying, to the light's swinging around and possibly the crowd jumping.(All while bootleg music is playing in real time!!) If you are interested in this project, email me. I am trying to find more Phish phriends who like 3D graphics. If you are interested in seeing an "avi" or "mpeg" of the finished thing, email me and I will post it here (size allowing).
