Toy2one - ToyZone 2
ToyZone got a sequel. This time I teamed up with Joona Poikonen for a nice comeback because our last production together was already 6 years a go (LeGorSIKA - check below for more information). We didn't really have too much time as we started the project a week before the Assembly demoparty where we wanted to release it. The music was done by Kai-Eerik Komppa who pinched that one out in a very tight schedule.
The production itself is a stop-motion animation using small plastic-tubes that are placed one by one with pinchers on a plate that has 72x36 small sticks to support them. It placed 2nd in the Assembly 2007 Shortfilm competition - which btw. had great great level of quality among the participants.

Camera Obscura - Almost back to the roots
Separated page for my pinhole experimentations. I'm posting there my photographs taken with a simple plastic box with film in it. It's also a re-learning project to get concrete with the calculating of the theories behind photography by using them in practice.
RMT 3d mesh fileformat - 2006
RMT is a simple 3d-mesh fileformat I've been working on lately. Reason to do this is that most of the time when starting a 3d-project with a coder the first problem is the fileformat to use, how to get the stuff out of the 3d-tools etc. This way I can have it a bit more standardized as I can pull it out of the hat and modify it to my needs if there's need for futher refinement. Note that it's still just a simple format to output just 3d models. I'm up to writing more modern and complete 3d-fileformat and exporter if there ever comes up a need for it.
From this page you can find specification + 3dsmax exporter and importer for the fileformat. It's not really in final shape and almost everything can change soon but I quess I'm going to wait for some coder input for that.

Our "communal" art-site project. Contains a common gallery, forum, links etc. Quite loose in format and changes its shape time to time.
