This is no journal entry. It's the exit of the last one, that was not actual any more.

If you are interested in making videos or animations, here`s an interesting offer. HitFilm 2 Express can be downloaded for free until 4th of february. Usually it costs 149$. The only condition: you have to share it on twitter or facebook. In case you have no account there or don't want to share it, just click on "SHARE ON FACEBOOK" and close the window that appears. (I shared it, cause I think that's ok.)
Here's the link: hitfilm.com/express/free
I don't know the prog yet, I installed it moments ago, but I've read that it must be good. You can use it also for fractal animations adding sound and titles.
Have fun!

Some time ago I announced an animation tutorial and never wrote it. Meanwhile I found some useful tuts I wanna show you.
Everybody who is busy with MB3D can do an animation, it only takes some more time than a simple pic, but the result is much more satisfying.
So if you wanna start, first read the tut of fraterchaos:
fraterchaos.deviantart.com/art…
He speaks of three methods making an animation, first moving around with the 3D navi, second change values of the formulas and third a combination of both. I always use the third method, with different focuses. This one uses more the first method:

My newest more the second:

I found two very useful clips on youtube by Don Whtaker, please watch them in that order:

With these tuts you should be able to start playing.
My third example features the positional light:

If you think now, "I wanna do that!", you're on the right way. It really is big fun! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I just returned from a concert, it was really great! It was Jan Garbarek with Trilok Gurtu, Rainer Brueninghaus and Yuri Daniel. If you have the chance to see  them, take it! They actually tour through Germany and Suisse. Hre is the opener: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzG_3O…

At the moment I'm very busy in the real world,

so there's not much time left to create and regard pics.

Please don't worry while I don't fave and comment

as much as I want and used to.

I'm not off, I'm only more seldom on.

Be patient, that will change again!
