Creating the Jellyfish for 2nd life

Wed, Sept. 16 render test

paint and ink material.

quality level is 3. (results in a purple colored anomaly) I will reduce the quality.
ink width is 1 (maybe too fine)

goal: to create a high quality image.
Adding and adjusting ambient occlusion will adjust and remove shadows and heavy black lines.

Nano gear assembly line

still modeling. getting close to animating the parts. What you see here is the nano gear assembly line.

nanotube and nano gear w/pen/ink material applied

the way its rendering the outline needs some tweaking of course. trying to decide if some the nano's should be gray or black or I should just leave it as is. I will be adding text and numbers with indicator lines as well as a much more involved and intricate nano and tube system. Ideas are perculating like a som na ma bytch.

nanotube and nano gear

Just a test still image. Does'nt have correct shading yet. Final version will be black/white w/outline.

I tried to create a lattice on the nanotube w/ spheres at each axis but it didnt look right. I might keep trying.

Creating the jellyfish...

We call this creature: Floaters

As you can see, this idea has actually been around a long time!

Is there a market for a synthetic tree that can move around?

this from eenews.net

...Ten years ago, no one, Lackner included, really believed it could be possible to efficiently capture and remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. Today, the idea is still widely considered a far-fetched option for addressing climate change.

But as emissions climb and as global climate targets look increasingly difficult and expensive to meet, it is, to some, one of the only options that could someday turn back the hands of time.

What is needed is a machine that can actually reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere....
