So, back in the old days of high school (10 years ago…sigh…), I had a great deal of fun in the CASA program. Most of what I did during that time, as I don’t know the first thing about building things, was to work with animation software like Bryce3D and 3D Studio Max. We set up some animations of the space shuttle docking with the International Space Station, of the shuttle landing on the tarmack, and of explosions in space for when the ISS would be invaded by aliens (it’s true…it happened nearly every day… :-P).
Anyway, Slickdeals.net had highlighted the free version of Bryce 5 a few months back and I grabbed it, but didn’t have much to use it for…until now…
Brooke and I are now quite involved at Webster Hills UMC getting our church service “revitalized,” which entails some changes in format, but perhaps more importantly, atmosphere and environment for the service. We’re trying to get people to buy new chairs for the service, mostly for comfort but also to absorb sound, as part of this “change in atmosphere.” We’ve got some money raised, but haven’t progressed as far as we’d like to if we’re going to get this moving by Christmas Eve.
Anyway, Brooke is setting up a Powerpoint presentation that will hopefully be played this weekend. Originally, we were going to Photoshop in some of the new chairs with a change in paint job, etc. into an image of the gym. Mostly, it looked terrible when I tried it…
…so I gave Bryce 5 a go…and had a great deal of fun messing with 3D animation again!
…and it’s now up on Youtube… 🙂
