Running into some problems that will have to be fixed on the future model if there is one. First the space is too limited for me to work in - I'm going to have to work small in order to fit everything. Secondly I'm not sure if there's a lighting issue - I'm a bit up in the air about it - I would love to be able to stick some lights on there and make it look nice however I don't find it entirely necessary - what I have been working with is alright. Also I need to figure out some form of registration. Finally if I choose to do a finished piece I have to get a real nice camera - because these consumer cameras are not giving me the depth of field that I need.

This is a super difficult process and I am running into several problems I wasn't ready for. It would be best to have a lot more space to work with - this will be a fix for the next model I suppose. I am still pending with the lighting - Im not sure what to do with it yet - things seem to be working as is but it could be better/worse with better lighting. I know I have to get a better camera for shooting anything better than a test - with these digital take home cameras you dont get a proper depth of field - and theres no substitute that I have discovered for a nice lens.

So heres a shot test - this is through a cell phone through a camera so its not what it could be but it looks pretty cool. I am still trying to get some lights for this and to fix a few more things that need to be worked out.

Regressive Progression

Multi-Planeica - Insaneica. This thing is starting to form in my laboratory. I gotta build it slowly cause its becoming expensive - gotta get a ton of lights for it and find a way to mount a camera in a good spot. I have been building it so that I can easily disassemble it because it takes up a lot of space. This poses the problem of getting things to register perfectly - I have been having trouble figuring out how to keep everything lined up - a single knock would throw things around probably - Also I grabbed some wheels from my moldy basement to put on the bottom - they are old rusty and barely work - its better than having it flat on the floor though. Gotta get some more things for this beast.

Another Test

Im building this thing... hopefully I'll get it done before Too Art for TV 4.
