  1. These are fascinating. So many strange associations and odd (accidental?) references - e.g. music staves or guitar fret board in the foreground, shades of the funfair, the rickety big dipper, the miniature creature like a foetus, the industrial storage sounds (or climate-controlled warehouse). The way the half-formed avatar is groping around, trying to 'sense' its environment and/or itself makes me think of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein's monster - the naivety of the grotesque new[born]formed.

    I'd like to remix this material too (and other stuff you've posted). I'll assume this is ok with you, unless you say otherwise.

  2. it's fine with me to remix, anything; I'd like credit of course but that's all...

    This is from an avatar behaviour program that's incredibly complex and made more so when I feed my bvh files into it.

    - Alan, thanks

  3. Thanks

    bvh? Does that stand for behaviour?

  4. biovision hierarchy files were created by a company I believe went bankrupt; they're the standard ascii (text) files that control avatar behavior in Second Life and elsewhere and are easy to edit. You can use them in Poser or Blender or Maya etc.
