That's so cool!

I'm currently working on this. Measured drawing of Kings Hall at Old Parliament House so they can plan out their exhibitions etc. The level of detail is doing my head in but it'll be worth it when it's done.

Yikes Exar, that's a lot of detail.

Yeah, we kind of underestimated the amount of work when we quoted the job, unfortunately. Normally a ceiling is just a ceiling but in this place it's nuts.

What it looked like out of the printer... Still has the brim and supports on it.

And after a bit of a clean up. Still needs some more work but looking pretty good.

Next on the cards will be to paint/airbrush it.
That's brilliant.

Of course, the ultimate corollary of this is to make one that works, using multimedia. Get on it Dex!

I've already contemplated a little projector inside him that could play the 'Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope'.

This got me interested in 3D, back in the day. It's funny how this now would be a standard for a computer game but it was stunning in it's day.

Not bad considering he did this in Lightwave and Photoshop on a Pentium Pro 200MHz machine with 524MB of RAM running Windows NT. But as I found out, 3D is so time consuming and the PC crashes during a render were very annoying. But that was 2002.

Yeah that's a pretty stunning effort given how long ago this was made.
