Thanks Steve --
I have been reading the stills group, and it sounds like you have it under
control.
Hope you don't leave out the animation guys, on your new site.
I am willing to help out.

I'd suggest that for now, we go with Steve's offer to host the animation
files together with the stills pictures.
Quoting from irtc.stills (Steve's posting):

Opinions?

Ah, cool. Ok, this is fine with me, and as you all might know by now, I'm
getting quite excited about playing with animations myself, time permitting,
and thanks to you and others Markus, I will get that merry-go-round working
correctly. I know that what I have planned is all circular, but my dream is
to do a fly-through around the carousel (up and down) with Poser figures sat
on the horses or in a some kind of cart too. Should be fun doing it! :o)

This is what we'll be using for the Stills topics, and I think it will
work great for the Anims too. It's a wonderful idea, and I really thank Greg
for this great idea too. It will work just fine. With this method, everyone
will be challenged to produce their INTERPRETATION of the title of an old
'known' book (whether we know of that title or not). I think this will
produce diverse Stills/Anims that will be certainly more interesting than
following a unique topic. I think this idea will really get some minds
thinking first before prodding finger-to-key.
Next topic? Sure: "The Black Robe" by Wilkie Collins - 1824-1889.
(Pulled via "The Hat")
Set your imagination alight...

Well, the way that this website is working out at the moment is that
when the end of a round arrives, the next topic will be 'live' on the 1st of
the next month/topic. Would this be ok with both Stills and Anims?
Also, about the Anims, what would you guys prefer? Would you want an
extra month to develop your animations so that everything ties in with the
Stills for viewing? (So, instead of 4 anims a year, it would be 3?)
Thanks for your input Markus, all, it's very much appreciated.

And of course, I meant a few others around here too - all positive
thoughts on something that's good for our community and souls, are good and
*much* appreciated!
> Thanks Steve --

Yes, I do believe I have so far. Let's just get through these first
few months and hopefully everything will be fine and settled by then.
> Hope you don't leave out the animation guys, on your new site.
*Our* new site Darin. This isn't for me, this is for 'Us' - the 3D
graphics community that *we know* and love. Animations WILL be on this site,
I promise, it's just that I've got to twist this guy Colin's arm a little to
get it right, so bear with me for a short while. Colin? He's the guy that's
doing this for us along with my help, (he's not into 3D graphics at all, but
has been creating websites for the last 15 years - you should see him on his
keyboard, I've not seen anything like it - it's just a blur as he moves
around it, seriously. The chap knows his stuff and he's a nice guy toboot).
> I am willing to help out.
I/We know that Darin, thanks, and I think we all appreciate any help
that we can get around here. For now though, just play around with your Anim
and relax - I/We want to see it. :o)
Regs,
~Steve~

Oh! Drat. Couldn't it have been the "Moonstone" or "The lady in White" by Wilkie
Collins? I've read them. And the Moonstone gives lots of scope; India, Fakirs,
Robinson Crusoe, Napoleon etc.

Oh. Now i'm confused. I thought it was about what one comes
up with, looking at the title alone (instead of the content)
- do i now really have to read the story each time? ;)
(though it's hard to NOT think of submarines if it would've
been "20000 leagues under the sea"... ;) - but i'd not have
associated India with "Moonstone"...

Heh, no. I'm sure Stephen is holding his tongue in his cheek here...
:o)
Here's another one: "Before Adam" by Jack London, 1876-1916.
Now, interpretate that title in any way that you want, Stills or Anims.
I personally like this one, (even though I've only just seen it), and it
sets your mind thinking about what it may have been like before Adam. But
*who* is Adam?
Here's another example: "The Doctors Dilemma" by Bernard Shaw,
1856-1950. What 'Dilemma'? Who 'is' the Doctor?
Set your mind alight...

"Before Adam"? Ouch. That just screams for trouble with
Creationists ;) [well, actually, no - there are at least
five days available before that, and you could depict "The
Hiding Of The Dinosaur Skeletons" and apply for public
funding ;)]

Funny, now somehow the image of a phone booth popped up in
my mind... ;) it's weird how pre-made popular culture has
gotten a hold on imagination. I guess i'll never be a "real"
artist :)
-M
P.S.: We're still "officially" going to use the "The Black
Robe" title, are we?

I'm just a bystander for this process. But my intent was that each of the
two responses were equally valid:
i) A key moment from the book (but hey, who's actually gonna bother to read
some of these obscure ones)?
ii) Whatever comes to mind from the words "The Black Robe." Me, I'm thinkin
Vader. Not that I'd actually use Lucasfilm characters.
