The monkey snuck into the piano room and stumbled on the keys as he looked at the spire music written by efflux and volker. Sometimes the monkey makes lucky sounds.

Hehe, cool. Well done!

Some reflectivity would be nice.

far out.

My monkeys type, so far children's short stories.

This is an interesting image. It does look very cool, but i have no idea what it could be. Maybe a coral?

Almost like those volcanic tubes at the bottom of the ocean... put some crazy white crabs on it and make hot plumes flow out of it... Now there's a challenge.

I think the monkey has lost his marbles.

monkey on the loose!

we need to take a sample, so we can study it in a laboratory

'Sanity is for those who can not handle the unreal,' typed a monkey.

No, No, samples are not allowed of the monkey - he would run and scream. The cup like depressions are a most excellent place to store the marbles. In an effort to get "negative" displacements, into the spires - (as I have been very negative as of late (that means "sorry" to the avatar flashers(gosh, flashing -- what was the word when someone ran naked through the campus))) -- the displacements are out of control when I tried to replace a blue constant scaler with a voronoi 3d cell scaler. now working on different pov and if I can keep the displacements in their tiny little cages, then I can apply a little shiny stuff, but when I like move the camera too fast, it crashes crashes crashes sob, sniffle, crashes, somebuddy please kick me in the head so that I stop typing.

Don't know what this cartoon is on about..

Mandrake · October 17, 2009, 11:58:58 AM

Littlecannon might be on to something though it does look like one of those deep ocean vents.

Excellent!

like i said, we should get a sample of those spires

Very nice render, Pfrancke. The displacements are really well done and seem to be kept well under control.
A couple of wee glitchy bits are apparent at the lower end of the image but this can't be helped, I think.

Very nice use of the forum's wealth of information, great!

tgd for zaai999 (who's Avatar no longer disturbs). Please note, that the tgd is truly shameful - just the witless and aimless steps of a disturbed monkey that got out of his cage. When you look at it, remember to take into account that the differences that make a difference are unknown to me.
