Celebration

I just finished getting my new RAM upgrade into my computer! Now I've got 2GB worth of Random Access Memory! Weeee!

To commemorate this event, I've used the new RAM to render out a couple of my old projects. I never actually finished these because I didn't have the processing power to do it before.

The first is an exercise in dynamics. Nothing more than a stack of boxes that gets knocked over by a sphere that is somehow being controlled by an invisible force. Enjoy!



Total Render Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Total Frames: 150

I apologize for the glitch at the beginning. Something about youtube.....

The next is an experiment in caustics. Don't know what caustics are? Find a dictionary



Total Render Time: 3 hours 16 minutes
Total Frames: 900

Brilliant idea. I've been meaning to look into adding sound. That would make things like this really cool because I can make the sounds exist in the 3D environment. Perfect for headphones. Project is now in the works!
