  MAC, those tests were done between
Nerf battles...
Ludovic had the fastest machines at the time... he always
completed the tests first...


For the Olive test scene, indeed it was used for twister,
imported as an .mi file... when changing frames took a minute.
It was a cute animation though.

and I think I still have a VHS of that.. (how could I
easily digitize?)

The olive bounced around on a tropical bar with a 'drink
mixer stick' trying to catapult itself into a martini
glass, misses the glass, and bounces into an indegenous
mask mounted on the wall gobbling it up, then saying
'Martini Mamboubou' or something like that. 

Cute :)

  Oh man! When I
  finished CG school and got hired at
  Softimage as QA(1998), these were some of
  the tests that weren’t scripted yet and we
  had to do those on all three
  platforms(Win,Unix,Alpha) every morning
  and then approve the build. This
  screenshot was the back of a creature that
  we had to loft with nurbs and yes, the
  PPGs went through several designs.
  Stephen,
  another memorable test scenes is the
  bouncing martini olive which was mainly
  used to test Twister! ;) Any image of this
  somewhere?

  Hey! 9.3 million views in 4.5 days! 
  
  While perhaps the extra violence (or the realistic anime cleavage)
  might have something to do with that,
  
   I'm pretty sure the combination of great artists and SI has
  everything to do with the (very high) level (and most of the
  hits)  :)

  Exactly – this one’s another epic - it’s awesome in
pretty much everything. 
   
  just out of curiosity – was there ever anything less than
stellar made by Blur?

Cheers to the artists over at Blur. Always bringing their

  Although 'sharp' would definitely  qualify what

misplaced) :]

Expressions are very subtle and believable just
  as the character anim and dynamics are,
  and even in the shots with lots of action, you can
  still follow what's happening, unlike others so
  often becoming a big blur ;)
