LAX Light Motion Dreams

_'wtf' would not cut it in this situation

Terminal

on Dec. 2, 2006

So I missed the Friday update, and I update today with a page bigger than the recent ones, how's that for making it up? Anyways, I kinda love this page, though I hate the way 0.7 pencil scans. I need to go out and buy some 0.5 lead pencils, then I can have that slick, fine line feeling. Until then, I'll have to deal with it. Oh well (I can't go a post without saying that.) I tried something new in this page, I tried cleaner lines and whatnot. The difference is stunning.



Now on to other things. I recently got over 900 MBs of webspace, which means I can finally add more music to my radioblog. Hooray. (I also moved the radioblog from freewebs.com) The music added is varied, there's familiar favorites from the Rolling Stones and Telefon Tel Aviv, to almost unknown wonderful artists. It's a massive update that I hope you'll enjoy. This addition of music is the first step in the war against this radioblog, which I'm actually listening to right now (Daft Punk - Aerodynamic).

Also note, I changed the colors of the radioblog to match the site more, fantastic.

The second thing I'd love to mention is the two SketchUp models I've made. One, the LAX model, which I've fixed. I deleted alot things, fixed some miss aligned buildings. I deleted the pylons and the old control tower, replaced by better looking models. The biggest change in the LAX model is the deletion of the second floor of road (Departures Level), this entire floor caused the model to slow down. It's gone now, and it also looks a lot better. The second model I made was a little experiment in textures. It is a hallway, a simple hallway. The original picture is here, the model lookalike is below.

Now the biggest news is this, you can view both these models in your browser. Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, all you have to do is look below.

The LAX Model



The LAX model requires a medium end computer, a 4-3, maybe 5 year old computer. If it can run The Sims 2 without slowing down (or maybe Indigo Prophecy) then you'll be okay. I had to try it on a newer computer, which it worked on. Cheers.

The Terminal Hallway (EXIT) Model



The Terminal Hallway (EXIT) Model requires a low end computer, as old as 7 years. It is the same old as that flickr image. It runs perfectly on my computer, so if you got a newer computer, it'd run pretty damn fast.

Both these HTML pages require the Hypercosm Player. A plug in that displays the model in whatever browser you use. Be sure to download it if you want to see some more SketchUp models. It's a great little player.

That's all I have to say today, I guess I'm out.
