Remember the previous post? Ti mentioned that I did any abso-posi-lutely great job on the sunset. And, well, yeah, it was damned good.
But I just knew I could make the reddish, fiery, cloudy cave that can sometimes appear over the ocean in warmer climates as the sun dips down into the ocean. I know cus I seen 'em.
Needless to say, I learned a lot about 3d stuff today.
May I humbly present to you a tropical sunset which was done 100% by Yours Truly --don't swoon ladies, I'm human.
Click on the pic to embiggen it to 1280 by 960 and then feel free to use it as wallpaper, no worries.
You know, the more I looked at it, the more I thought that I could get the sun just dipping down into the ocean... I then came up with this:
Again, just embiggen it and snag it for your computer wallpaper.
Even then I wasn't satisfied...
So I blew the dust off a 17 year old morphing program --that was light-years ahead of it's time-- and played God as I made the sun set.
Yeah, I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out. Oh, I had to zoom way in on the sun the get the control points placed properly. Yes, I was actually wearing my darkest sunglasses with my nose about an inch away from the monitor.
If anyone likes my 3d stuff and would like to continue to see it appear RIGHT HERE then puh-leeeeeeez let me know. Comments are always open.
*sound of grinding gears*
Switching gears now! Guess what didn't get done today as I played with pixelly pixies? The algae was not getting scrubbed off the pool walls. I admit I have been a bit lax about cleaning the pool as it gets on towards winter down here. Do I really want to go for a swim when the water is 22 C --that'd be 71.6 F for those of you calculationally-challenged folks? Would you? No, thought knot.
I even have proof:
Next topic that I have time to write about before I go made dinner... I have new mushroom spoor for this season! About 4 kilos worth!!!! In about a month I'll have fresh shrooms all winter long! Woo-Hoo! Yay me!
I guess I'll share some with Wifey-Poo.

I'm not often speechless- as you well know- but damn. These are just mind-blowing, Dave.
Beautiful doesn't cover it.
These are other-worldly in the best possible way.
Titanium: Gosh, thanks mate! It really wasn't all that difficult. All I did was kneel over the side of the pool and use my finger to write on the pool wall. I guess the hard part was not falling in...
I know, I know. I'm easily entertained.
Wait.
Dammit, Dave. You got me again.
