I agree Jeff...this new version is at least 1000 times better than your kindergarten drawing.


Wait, Mark Showalter made that "kindergarten drawing" :P

That's up to Shannon. I'm fairly sure the props will be available. I think that's what we're all trying to do. ...and yes, this is all for the S3 visualizer. I just uploaded the 24 channel version. I tried to expand the same sequence out to 24, but got tired of it at about 2 1/2 minutes. It'll be ready to view in an hour or two. Vimeo has gotten very slow at processing.

WOW!

I thought above you said that you created it by tracing his images (assuming photos)? I just figured you were lacking in tracing skills.

Just think of the cost savings!!


Or could buy a 16' screen for the front yard to project onto. And think how excited the puffers would be having a new inflatable for the yard. ;)

Jim, you're going to need the optional S3 "Skyhook" for that. :P

I found a early development pic of it in action. :cool:

"Screen inflates in just one minute!"

Wouldn't that be a nice setup time also?!?

Well, now that you have posted the photo, Jeff should be able to trace it to create the Skyhook for the visualizer (how well is another question:P).

I see if you "stop" your post BEFORE it actually finishes, you get a double post..

LIKE THIS ONE!!!

Why not go one step further and use the viz and projector to make ADDITIONAL elements for your display that show up in your window?

If you build the visualizer to an accurate representation of your house as photographed from the roof of the house across the street. All you need is a very bright projector, a laptop and a wi-fi connection, and you can project the visualizer right on to the house. Granted you need a wiling neighbor and no trees in your yard.

:P

Great job Mike. I had not seen this effect before viewing your thread. Cool effects. And really nice of you to share the sequence with those folks planning to make such a tree this year.
