R Mutt Test 18 09 2013…

Posted on September 18, 2013 by recursiveworlds

Back to playing with Shaun Belchers animation for his paper presentation in New York [the deadline approaches]. No After Effects in this one just a raw render straight out of the 3d software. We were trying to build more of an extensive world for the character and therefore enable him to go on more of a journey through research space, I’m sure we will start using words like Liminality soon… sorry…00895
