IMHO, nothing's changed. Of the posts above, it was Slime's thoughts that I
agreed with the most.
If I ever release a user-friendly blob-man, I would hope to get:
i) fame, of the
oh-aren't-we-so-grateful-to-Chris-Colefax-and-Greg-Johnson type
ii) more hits to my web pages to influence folks towards my religious,
moral, and political views
iii) a tap on the shoulder from say a local car dealer to make a commercial
or maybe even Nick Parks himself to do some collaborative work.
iv) an Oscar for best short, either by me, or by a user where it's obvious
that it's my creature...
When I first started posting my particle & boids animations, someone
contacted me about releasing my code for his quasi-professional use--
something with CG animation in front of an orchestra. After trying to
formulate conditions for release that would cheeze as much FAME out of it as
possible, I decided instead to release it with no mention of any conditions
on one of my web pages.
And whaddayaknow, soon CRAIG REYNOLDS, the father of Boids himself, had a
link on his web page to MY SITE!!!
