The Art Of Seeing... plus rant!

I'm gonna keep this short and sweet 'cause I'm bitter enough.

We were asked to upload a bunch of textures on Flickr for a visualisation project called 'The Art of Seeing'... Fair enough... a good 3D environment without good texturing isn't going to impress anybody, so I certainly see the point in collecting as many different textures as we can (and considering my past as graphic designer, my collection over the years took a good while to be uploaded...) until this happened:


So, basically I wasted almost four hours to upload 15 folders (903 textures in total)


Just to find out that only the last 200 of them to be uploaded will be available to view... unless I spend £47... which considering I already have a website, whoever at Flickr came up with this idea, can seriously go and get Flickr'd! Rant over...

P.S. To Roma: If you want to check what's available on my Flickr account, here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ur77textures/sets/. Personally I'd rather burn you a disk with my whole collection 'cause what you'll see on Flickr is less than the tip of the proverbial iceberg (4 sets out of 15... go figure!)

DP3 - Room

These pics shows the room where my next animation (due in may) will be set.
There are still a bunch of 'props' that I got to add, basically more toys (a lego set, a dolls house, a hotwheels type road+bridge track...) also, I'll find the time to do the webbing on the spidey action figure (I promise!).
As you can guess by the pics, this is a room shared by two kids (bro&sis) aged about 9-10 and 12-13... No prizes for guessing which posters, bed and desk belong to whom...
