I Gave the Tardis Wood!

Don't get excited, it's just the result of me looking for something to do during a dull, wet, weekend. I decided to fully texture the tardis model I'd knocked up in Cinema 4D, using the software's own texturer 'bodypaint.' Bodypaint was used recently for some of the texture work on Spiderman 3.

After a few hours of cutting and pasting wood panel images on to the model mesh I ended up with a huge tardis woody! (really, it gave me such a clue) Below are some renders in Vue 6 and one in Cinema 4D (it's got daleks in it). Hope you like them, I do. Now I have to think of something to do with it apart from bore you lot. I may try and do some work again, I hear all the kids are doing it.

Mark Stirton has an animated version of the un-woody one on his cracking Dr Who title sequence, here. Of course all images and thingies are copyright BBC Worldwide.

The Tardis.

Suffering from a bit of Dr Who withdrawal recently so I made my own Tardis. Downside is it's only a model - it won't travel in time and space and it doesn't come with a little Nicola Bryant or Janet Fielding... Arse! Good side is that it doesn't take up much space and won't attract the Titanic into your living room - like a big blue disaster magnet.

Here are pics.

Unlimited Rice Pudding....

Just thinking out loud, but what would really make me happy just now? I guess it would be a longer season of Doctor Who, like the 26 episodes a year it used to have when I was a kid (instead of the 13 it has now). Doctor Who is great and I'm really enjoying the current season, it's even got scary again which is great.

At 42 I'm sure lots of other things should be higher up the list of fun things, but I'm generally comfortable with what, where and who I'm doing at the moment and a huge run of Dr Who would keep me grinning away like the little mentalist I am.

So, what fun thing would float your boat?
