Thanks for seeing past the bland scene settings :) It would look much 
nicer set against a partly cloudy summer sky...

It's 100% POV :)

Around the same time I was trying to use SurfaceEvolver to manipulate 
meshes. SE makes really great minimal surfaces, but it's very difficult 
to generate meshes it can read... I never got very far :(

So I think I'll stick to using blobs, which are are easier to code and 
faster to render. Hopefully I can make some improvements on the setup 
soon...

Thanks, I might just do that. I've got an account set up, I just need to 
throw some images at it.

It 's neer perfection but just one subjestion:

Your bubbles seems to me bit too regular, i suggest to rotate in x,y and z 
randomly, and scale each randomly of 5% par exemple

Any X or Z rotation would be unrealistic. Then, a Y rotation would be 
prety useless.
I don't see why scaling them randomly would help...

The perceived regularity is just an illusion as your brain always work 
VERY hard and effeciently to find patterns, or create patterns where 
there are none. That's why we have constellations and you can recognise 
objects and creatures in a cloud.

Randomized rotation and scaling might help a little, though a better 
solution would be to have two or more blob components per bubble and 
then translate them randomly in relation to each other. I'll give it a 
try at the next iteration, thanks!

Because larger bubbles almost never remain perfectly spherical. But 
there are better ways to go about it than simply rotating and scaling 
the components...

It's a wonderful phenomenon and a good way to tap the subconscious mind...

Hi Sam,

I like your air bubble image. May I have your permission to use it with prose I
wrote on Hubpages?

My HP profile is at http://emanatepresence.hubpages.com/

Best regards,

Gary Smith
