If this is a single take I wonder how many tries it took to get it right. Pretty cool.
Or...is this just really well done CG? The barrel rolls and multi-train jump at the end seem like they would be next to impossible to do.
-
That looks like the Satan baby in Passion of the Christ.
-
If the rest are as good as the first one, this is quite a treat.
Excellent work.
-
The reverse side will stay the same. Scroll of Honor with winner's name...
Yeah, makes more sense. I guess it has been a while since the last contest, forgot what the other one looked like. -
-
There's always a surprise inside.
How about "Fabergé Egg" for a contest topic?
Now that would be a cool Easter/Spring contest. I'd be up for that.
-
Looks good so far. What about the reverse side, you could have Tom/Thom in a hammock.
-
So having never seen an actual Faberge egg...are these the size of regular eggs or more like ostrich eggs?
Judging from the size of the hands in the videos they appear to be about 1-2x the size of a chicken egg but I've read of some that are smaller.
I am such a silly Billy. I guess if I had watched all the way to the end of the first video I'd have gotten my answer.

Nicely done video, Rob. Congratulations to Mark, Matt, and Bruce.
Mark I will be sending you a photo for my caricature prize. Maybe I could have you do one of my fuzzy dog.

Here is the latest in virtual funny-money news:
Sounds like the plot to a Star Trek episode:
Kirk: "Spock, this is a class M planet, perfectly fine...but.... the civilization appears to...have collapsed...from...overuse....of resources.
Spock (examining an ancient terminal): "Captain, it appears they were "mining" cryptocurrency."
Kirk: "Ah...well....that explains it, then. Earth outlawed cryptocurrency....in the 2050s....due to it killing the electrical grid."
Spock: " Apparently money grows neither on trees, nor in the memory banks of a computer"
*cue theme*

I think the most underwhelming Halloween treat I ever got was a page from a book of children's Bible stories.
I got a Chick Tract once.

Candy corn is pretty horrible. Also Necco wafers. And black licorice.

I went to see Bladerunner 2049 this past weekend and I was pretty impressed, it didn't outdo the first movie obviously but I felt it was a worthy sequel. Anyone else been to see it yet?
-
So apparently somehow when I went to see Bladerunner 2049 I missed the Last Jedi trailer with the Porgs.
Do they focus group these creatures to make them as cute as possible? This looks like a cross between a penguin and a Furby. I don't think they could possibly make it any cuter.

This does look cool. Thanks for the heads-up, Mark.
-
Any luck finding those renders? We are officially in October now.
Anyhow, looking forward to seeing everyone's stuff.

If you use CCleaner, it has been infected with malware for about a month:
I would suggest removing it and scanning your system with Windows Defender, at the bare minimum, if not taking even more aggressive measures.

Only bad thing about a credit freeze is if you're trying to buy a house or car or other major purchase you can't pay cash for, this is really going to put a wrench in the works. But this may be worth the inconvenience.
How did these companies get to be such a big deal? It's too bad you can't opt out.

This project is GPL-licensed, meaning very definitely not public domain. So it's just another open-source RenderMan, of which there have been a few (BMRT, Aqsis, Pixie and others). They are all dead, but none as long dead as this one.
Sorry guess I should have dug a little deeper. I had remembered BMRT which was free for hobbyist use but BMRT has been dead for ages too.
-
This came up in one of the last Live Answer Times, it turns out there is actually a public domain implementation of the Renderman standard:
http://gman-toolkit.sourceforge.net/
I would imagine that some fiddling would be needed to get it going.

So apparently Equifax had personal data for something like 143 million accounts stolen recently. Which is probably about 60% of the working US population, if you remove minors and the unemployed:
You may want to monitor your credit cards for a while.

It's all about the jacket.

Just saw this today, I really don't want to run the risk of spoiling anything so all I will say is it was a very strong film. And porgs are adorable.
