  • Worked out that real time 3D cannot successfully handle a field of 100+ derelict 747s. And it looks shit. Decided to use QuickTime VR in combination with 3D objects (how?). Did an experiment with rendering a cube in Cinema 4D plunked it into QuickTime VR and it looks good. Figured out a way to do quadraphonic sound. Realised that most places that make QuickTime authoring software listed on Apple’s site went bankrupt years ago, but found an Australian company that still handles it yay.
  • Yay Pants.
  • I carried so much paper up and down the corridor they hired me again for next year.
