My dev-profile at MobyGames

Posted by Kaya Kupferschmidt • Tuesday, November 30. 2004 • Category: General
Today when searching for my name on google in order to check the ranking of my websites, I found my dev profile at MobyGames, reminding me of my good old times at Neon Studios, where I worked as a game programmer. BTW they really have a nice web-page nowadays.

I really hope that I will get back into game development soon, it was one of the best times I ever had in my life.

Lego Church

Lego Church

Quote: I got back into LEGO building in June, 2000, shortly after adopting Precious, my third cat. She loved to be amidst my building from the start. She didn’t disturb partially assembled LEGO objects, or even piles of bricks, so I could leave her to play around my assembled work without too much fear of damage.

My first project was to be a large house, about 4 feet by 2 feet in size. I drew floor plans and built much of the front wall as a test of concept, then set about creating a pattern for the floor that was to become the living room. I quickly came up with a double row of crosses that reminded me of the center aisle of a church, and building a church suddenly seemed like a more interesting project.

Nice Article about SGI

Posted by Kaya Kupferschmidt • Saturday, November 27. 2004 • Category: Workstations
While my daily browsing on OS-News I found a link to a nice article about SGI. Nothing new to the insiders, but it is always nice to see some advertising for the SGI community.

My favorite Computer Graphics Researcher

Posted by Kaya Kupferschmidt • Friday, November 26. 2004 • Category: General
One of my favorite computer graphics researchers is Paul Debevec. Not only because he is a great technician in his field, but mainly because he has worked on some really stunning films demonstrating his techniques. My favorite still is Fiat Lux.

Everybody interested in photorealstics rendering should give him a try!

Euclid's Elements

Posted by Kaya Kupferschmidt • Thursday, November 25. 2004 • Category: General
When surfing through the web, I found the virtual version of Euclid's elements. If Euclid lived today, he probably would have published his work himself on the internet.

From the website: "Euclid's Elements form one of the most beautiful and influential works of science in the history of humankind. Its beauty lies in its logical development of geometry and other branches of mathematics. It has influenced all branches of science but none so much as mathematics and the exact sciences. The Elements have been studied 24 centuries in many languages starting, of course, in the original Greek, then in Arabic, Latin, and many modern languages."
