Oh, man, that is spectacular. Fabulous work, machi, and nice upgrade, ugordan! If I weren't two sheets to the wind already this evening I'd post it now. Must remember to post it tomorrow or Monday! As a general comment, nearly any time I post an animation I always slow it down substantially (setting frame delays to a minimum of 0.25 seconds) so that the viewer has time for eyes to focus on features in each frame. I also usually put in a pause on the last and first frames in order to allow people the time to recognize that the sequence is starting over.

Must remember to post it tomorrow or Monday! I'm still waiting. I notice you already have a great Vega 1 animation posted which shows the nucleus looking bright against the background, unlike the Giotto images. I'd be interested to know the geometrical relationship beween the two, the lighting directions etc. Now I've probably complicated the task and will have to wait even longer for your post! |
