Thanks Michael. It was a quickie, but I had such fun doing it! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 872: Float my boat
I don't know how you did it. But if you start with one brick and "double up", and "double up that again", and so on, to create an 'infinite' plane it becomes like the old classic problem of the grains of corn on the chessboard. You will end up with huge numbers that will quickly gobble up resources and bring your machine to its knees. I know because I've been there! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 872: Float my boat
In Cinema 4D I created a large cube then reduced the thickness. That was the basis of the ‘sea’. Then I created a small cylinder. Then I used an extruded spline for the LEGO text which was sized to fit the top of the cylinder. The cylinder and text were then cloned as a matrix (30x30) to fit the cube. Cloning should have worked ok as it reduces the processing load. At this point the computer started to slow down but it was when I tried to copy, paste and move it to increase the size of my sea when the MAC fell over _________________ |

I don't know the 3D terminology but there's an awful lot of 'Objects' in that sea. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 872: Float my boat
Indeed there are but they are all clones of a single cylinder and extruded text. I don’t know why this slowed down the MAC to a crawl as clones shouldn’t do that. Perhaps it’s just the fact that I am playing with a seven or eight year-old MAC and it’s approaching time for a new one _________________ |

Re: Challenge 872: Float my boat
Well yes. But your sea looks to be about 50x50 cylinders etc. That's in the region of two and half thousand clones. Quite a few! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

David, that's great, a thesaurus no less... Josephine, very clever! Made me think of that old gag... "Beam me aboard Scotty, there is no intelligent life here!" Thanks for making the outboard version Michael, kept me from having to do it. |

Re: Challenge 872: Float my boat
I started out to make comments on everyone's entries but in the interest of brevity I'll just say some mighty fine work and entries, not to mention ingenuity and imaginative - great work all. Again I had no idea where to take this and limited time, however i did want to animate: http://vimeo.com/596083620 |

I agree with Frank - lots of fun work from everyone. …and a nice piece of animation from Frank. _________________ If at first you don't succeed then skydiving is not for you. |

Good animation Frank, and sound effects. One of the boat people could have waved, perhaps! |

Ah, David, I too was a hippy for a while back in the sixties. I was too poor then to be able to afford a camera, so no photos. I presume that the Jamaican girl is a girlfriend from your Bob Marley days. |
