No waves today and I was hanging for a wave or two .... so I made some.

A short animation, with a boxy railed twin fin, no rider and a jingoistic ending.

The animation needs another two hours tuning, but hey, life's short

cheers

The pit feeling is great and shading and texture wonderful.

I really enjoyed the glide,

Very cool HW! If you need a body, I am here, a left would be good, but you could stick me in there going backside

Very much obliged for the kind comments everyone.

Nice to have a few mind waves when there are none in real life, eh?

Mike, I found some left handers on the hard drive.

Here's the left handed version

Kava ... the music is royalty free by Jamel Boukabou.... he is credited on the left handed mix ( i always forget the music credits

)

Grayman.... the secret is specular reflection, transparency, bump mapping, spline morphs, extrusion, soft shadows ... and this time I put a light on the board to light up the inside of the barrel

But in truth, the waves are all sculptured by "hand" and the mark one eyeball.

Markem seems to know the track!!

And Niuhi, I like your succinct vocabulary!!

cheers again

waves here today

see you in the water

Unreal HW, I find myself sitting in my chair leaning toward the left. Also, I think that morphing face is going to give me nightmares.

HW that Mind Surfing is great, and the first song is perfection! Throw in a couple lefts, and you will have a Hollywood production!

Really cool stuff
