I can't wait to see this film! http://petshophunter.com/design-technology/3d/26/ I saw that Lindsay, Jim, and Darcy had given the face recognition a go, so I decided to run it again with an updated picture taken just moments before. I am happy with my results! I left the ladies in there, so Ashton Kutcher and Mike Myers didn't make the ... http://petshophunter.com/software/25/ I've always been fascinated with software that can recognize faces.

I can't imagine how hot or heavy that would be. http://petshophunter.com/crrrazy/18/ I stumbled upon some fascinating research papers and projects relating to graphics programming, animation, simulation and sketch-based interfaces on Michiel van de Panne's site. I found Sketching Character Motions and the Ski Stunt Simulator to be particularly interesting. The Ski Stunt Simulator reminded me of Brad Quick's Dirt Bike. http://petshophunter.com/design-technology/17/ These photos are incredible. The original photos were taken of the destruction, and then revisited and photographed from the same angle about one year later. The first set is from Thailand, the second set is from Indonesia.
