new avatar and avatars http://www.alansondheim.org/newavatar.mp4 the glittering blue jewel-object is a syzygy of four avatars created in blender from metaballs configured by altered mocap equipment. the avatars are frozen, moving in circular orbits among themselves and around a displaced common center located on a standard object; their shape is determined by their previous behavior through the mocap. so here are fossils transported from the real physical world into the virtual; alive in the real physical world, they've petrified here, petrified in the various stages of their demise. look! look! they move again! "The night like a Queen in her purple and lace With her diamonded brow and imperious grace As she leads her fair votaries, train upon train A-dance thro' the feasts of this mystic domain" ... - James Whitcomb Riley, from Lockerbie Fair
