In Response To: My Cubist wish came true! (Thos) : I have an occasional thought where I compare computer game art to fine art. : Game graphics are constantly attempting to appear hyper-realistic, which I : always think end up looking more fake than something simpler. : I always imagined what it would look like to show the feeling of 3D movement : through time in a much more abstract manner, and create something that : ended up looking more real in some sort of sense. : I suppose the most famous example in art is Duchamps' Nude Descending A : Staircase : : So my (current) 360 has always been a bit glitchy - I have to turn it; on : (pause) off (pause) on, to start it up each time. : Well tonight my Cubist dream came true. My 360 started up and all the fonts : were really messed up in the menus. I took a few photos and started up : Halo. : *Everything* in Halo was messed up. 3D objects were warped and fragmented. : I started up a few films and it was amazing. These cubist models moving : around with shards of graphics spiked off at all angles. There were planes : of colour and texture all over the place, especially indoors, so I took : some shots on the Narrows bridge, one on Guardian and a couple of vehicles : on Sandtrap. : They're in my file share, but they are nothing compared to seeing these : things in motion - absolutely amazing. : All the shots I took : As I say the pictures really don't do the moving images justice. : Oh, and then I reset my 360 and it came on completely normally as if nothing : had happened. So now I am kicking myself that I didn't take a couple of : hundred more shots. Cool shots!
