It's probably something you've already checked, but have you confirmed that in your replication task that there's no end date set?
Other than that, do you actually see the task trigger in your task log? I'm not sure whether your post is saying that the task just fails to start at all, or if it runs as normal but the files don't get updated?
2. Re: Automatic Replicationczql5v Jul 5, 2013 12:10 AM (in response to thatsnotme)
Hi thatsnotme,
I have already checked the replication task and it was set to never end. To try to kick things off I changed it to end on the 31/12/2013 in hope that the new changed date will activate the task again and kickoff the Rep Policy.
I am unsure of where the task log is held. Could you let me know where this lives then i can check that also. Yes the Replication task has not started since 28th, and no replication of 6 SuperAgents have taken place. If I kick off a manual task that is fine.
3. Re: Automatic Replicationthatsnotme Jul 9, 2013 6:59 PM (in response to czql5v)
Sorry, I meant to check the Server Task Logs. In EPO, you have your Server Tasks, where you create and maintain tasks, and then the Server Task Log, which shows you when tasks have run, and whether they've been successful or not. If the tasks simply aren't triggering, then they wouldn't show up in there. If they do trigger but fail for some reason, you'd be able to see that.
Have you tried just creating a brand new replication task from scratch? Get rid of the existing task and see if a new task will run on schedule?
4. Re: Automatic Replicationczql5v Jul 10, 2013 1:25 AM (in response to thatsnotme)
Hi thatsnotme,
Thanks very much for your reply.
I understand your answer now, and was a little confused as to where the logs were. I am fully aware of the Server Task Log and Server Task job setup utilities. When i check the Server Task Log I can see NO entry for the Replication Task. I was also wondering if the jobs when run are part of another log somewhere, for example in the ....mcafee\db\epo.logs? So that I could trouble shoot the problem? Or are the logs just kept in the Server task log?
I did setup a new automatic replication job but this was unsuccesful and did not run, again no entry in the Server Task Log.
If you have any other thoughts thanks.
5. Re: Automatic Replicationthatsnotme Jul 10, 2013 1:39 AM (in response to czql5v)
Sorry, I thought you'd probably be aware of the task log, but wasn't sure!
I can't see any logs outside of the server task log that might help you. \DB\Logs\Replication.log from what I can see is only created / updated when the replication task has run, which doesn't help you much.
What version of EPO are you running?
6. Re: Automatic ReplicationJoeBidgood Jul 10, 2013 11:32 AM (in response to thatsnotme)
The epoapsrv.log will contain details about replication tasks - I would definitely check there if you have not already done so.
7. Re: Automatic Replicationczql5v Jul 10, 2013 1:26 PM (in response to JoeBidgood)
Thank you guys,
I did check the epoapsrv.log briefly but could not see any errors only something to do with Licencing which started to appear on the 28th when this problem first manifested itself. I did not look into it further as i did not believe it to be a licencing issue.
We are running EPO 4.6. if there is any further information i have missed please let me know, else, thanks very much for your contribution to this thread.
8. Re: Automatic ReplicationJoeBidgood Jul 10, 2013 2:07 PM (in response to czql5v)
Try and manually run a replication task, the attach the epoapsrv log here - we can take a look.
Thanks --

2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue • 165,000 miles
Today I cranked my car and got a loud boom from under the hood. Smoke was coming out. I thought my motor had blew up. Well, thankfully not, However, for some reason my air box (im guessing its called; holds my air filter and connects to the motor and radiator) had the urge to explode. My question is what made it do this? And can I duck tape it or gorrilla glue it until I can get it fixed. My husband drives 70 miles to work one way. Well after the smoke cleared my car did crank up and we drove it to the back yard. Seemed to run alright besides it was getting to much air in there. HELP please. CW

The only thing I can think of that would cause that would be if it backfired through the intake system. As far as repairing the air box, that would be fine, but it should be replaced. You have a MAF sensor that determines how much air is going into the engine. If it is wrong, the engine will not run properly.
Thanks. We had a friend to say it was the timing on it? I just wanted to check around for different opinions. I figured if it was the timing it would not run/crank?

Indigenous Christianity and the Future of the Church in South Africa
Oosthuizen, G. C., International Bulletin of Missionary Research
The value of other people's perspectives can be destroyed by ignorance. The movement known as African Independent Churches (AIC) in South Africa provides a case in point. Initially - from about 1890 to 1920 - the movement received considerable attention, but it was largely ignored in succeeding decades. It is past time to revisit the AIC to see what there is to learn from the indigenous Christianity of South Africa.
In recent decades the AIC movement has grown into the most dynamic church movement in South Africa. It is proliferating among black South Africans, attracting adherents of traditional African religions, and drawing into its fold many former members of mainline churches (i.e., churches that trace their origins to Western churches and missions). In 1950, fully 75 to 80 percent of all black South African Christians were members of mainline churches; only 12 to 14 percent were members of the AICs. By 1980 the mainline share of the black Christian population had dropped to 52 percent, while the AICs had increased to 27 percent; by 1991 the figures were 41 percent and 36 percent. This dramatic shift has occurred despite the apparent absence of any kind of AIC missionizing program. It would appear that traditional religionists and mainline church members flock to AIC churches simply for what they are and what they do. If present trends continue, by early next century most black South African Christians will be members of AIC congregations.
There are some 6,000 denominations within the South African AIC movement (many consisting of a single congregation). They range theologically from evangelical to syncretistic; some groups mix Christian beliefs with ancestor reverence and other animistic practices. Almost uniformly, however, a Christian sense of sharing and caring is their distinguishing mark. Many congregations gather in houses, shacks, shelters made from wooden boxes, or in open spaces in the cities and towns. Here the spirit of the traditional extended family finds expression in an ecclesiastical context, along with the basic aspects of traditional culture and religion. The venue is not important as long as there is fellowship, spontaneity in worship, mutual discussion of problems, healing services that provide spiritual and physical refreshment, and empowerment rituals that deal with malevolent social and spiritual forces. In most mainline South African churches, these features are poorly represented or missing altogether. It is not surprising, therefore, that many South African Christians in the mainline churches attend AIC healing and exorcism sessions and that they are reappraising the traditional approaches. Both the theology and the structure of mainline churches have become progressively more suspect.(1)
There are two major strands within the AIC movement of South Africa, designated by the terms "independent" and "indigenous." Churches that split off from Western-oriented churches are referred to as independent; churches that were initiated by Africans themselves, never having had ties to Western missions, are referred to as indigenous. The former tend to selectively retain certain features of the churches from which they seceded, while the latter are more oriented to traditional African religions. As is common in discussions of these two strands, in this article both will be embraced by the abbreviation AIC - African Independent Churches.
The movement is also characterized by three types. Ethiopian churches were inspired by Ethiopian-type churches in the United States at the turn of the century, especially the African Methodist Episcopal Church.(2) South African Ethiopian churches reacted strongly at the end of the last century to ecclesiastical colonialism; they also played a part in the formation of the African liberation movement. A second type is known as Zionist. The Zionist movement resulted from contacts with the Christian Catholic Church, based in Zion City, Illinois. Zion City was founded around the turn of the century by John Alexander Dowie as a Christian "restorationist" community where faith healing was practiced. …

Transmitter of Death!!
It all started here...
Once again, I set out on a quest to build yet another controller. I don't know what to call it really, transmitter, communications hub, input device, PDA? Oh, it does so much...
The concept is simple, pick out a nice plastic case and back up two trucks --one from Gadget Gangster and one from SparkFun. Dump a metric ton of breakout boards into the box and close the lid. Oh, and make a PCB to connect it all together.
On Board:
- Propeller Board USB (Gadget Gangster)
- Net Server (Gadget Gangster)
- BlueSmirf Bluetooth
- X-bee
- DeadOn RTC
- Lipo and onboard charger
- On board USB-FTDI-Serial for both Prop and LCD
- 4 gigs of SD card space (2 cards)
- IR in and out (for data and "TV remote" --also a TV be gone)
- 2 PS/2's for Keyboard and Mouse
- NES joystick connection
- Video out
- Dual-boot eeproms
- Joystick
- One bad-ass LCD (Touch, SD card, vid and pic ready, WAV player)
So here lies the beauty of a Propeller... As you may know, props are 8-core chips and allow for true parallel processing. Each of these "brains" within the chip can do whatever you tell it to, independant of all the rest. In this case, I have a dedicated cog that does nothing but serial coms. It sits there, looping away, receiving data as quicly as it comes in and sending data off just as fast. The serial object I use allows for up to 4 UART serials coming off the prop. Because of this feature, the transmitter can not only operate as a "Remote Control" but also as a "hub" --echoing data from one source to another.
Say you have a little bot that used IR to talk to stuff. One could rig-up a FTDI, breadboard and IR led --or-- one could simple hit a button on my transmitter and say, "whatever you get in via BT --send it back out via IR". Same goes for IR to BT or BT to XBee or IR to Xbee. How 'bout netserver to IR or netserver to Xbee. To anything, from anything. Hell yeah.
The highlight of this new TX is obviously the LCD. I have bragged about these screens for a while now and I will keep talking them up... You are getting a 3.2" touch-screen, a full-on microcontroller (I/o, serial, i2c, SD card --a real microcontroller), WAV player, with the ability to display panels, buttons, sliders, text, full graphics, pictures and video. These screens are amazing and even more so at way less than 100 bucks. This is what I used.
Of course, I can't forget to mention the other reason I like the prop...
Old school video games! I mentioned in the video that I am running 2 eeproms. One contains the "main program" including the code that works with Walter. Flip one switch and restart and you are now running from the other eeprom and it contains code for the Gadget Gangster El Jugador NES Launcher. Games are stored on the SD card and can be pulled up and played directly from the transmitter. A jack for an old-school NES controller exists on one end while a single video-out RCA pokes out of the top. Plug one RCA cable into your tv and you are ready to play:
- Almost PacMan
- Almost Tetris
- Almost Pole Position
- Almost Dr. Mario
- and there are many more
One of the videos shows the video games being played...
Yup, this one's a keeper --Wicked happy with this remote...
Amazing creation!
Amazing creation I hope to be as good as you someday. Seriously, that's amazingly practical and impressive.

He was an interesting poster, sometimes a bit controversial but always up to a good discussion. Very nice kid, though at times a bit hotheaded (but hey, so am I and I'm ancient).
So, returning to the point where we initially disagreed: destruction of the planet.
That was perhaps phrased a bit too general on my side. But can we agree that humans are doing a great deal of harm to the ecosystem?
I'm admittedly very partial because in my job I am confronted with these things every day: people in our (somewhat poor) neighbouring country heat with cheap brown coal which contains a horrible lot of sulphur. When you burn it, it forms sulphur dioxide which evaporates with the smoke. It then connects to the moisture in the air and you get sulphuric acid rain. In consequence our forrests die slowly but surely.
Apart from the reduced oxigen production and Carbondioxide uptake, there are other consequences: the forrests are like a sponge and store water. The groundwater level has fallen dramatically in my area over the last decades (while the water use has actually gotten less - we save wherever we can. Example: average German uses less than 10 gallons per day; average US citizen uses more than 30 gallons per day; industrial use not included in these figures).
When the forrests die, the soil doesn't get held in place by roots anymore: our mountains turn to deserts.
This makes the rain (and avalanches!) come down a good deal faster on the villages and towns. Floods come quicker and much higher than they used to.
The microclimate is affected as well since the forrests kept the wind off. We get worse storms than we used to.
And those are merely the consequences of using the wrong fuel for heating in my area (not even globally). And only the consequences for humans. The native flora and fauna is affected much worse than we are.
The problem is that this is no isolated phenomenon. On a planet everything is connected. We are dealing with equations with zillions of unknown factors. This way we can hardly predict the consequences of what we are doing. But I think the example shows that the consequences can unexpectedly get terribly huge.
When I go out with school classes, we play a game: everyone gets a card with an animal or a plant. We use a ball of wool and everyone holds the thread and throws the ball to a person who has a plant or animal that interacts with their own one. After a few rounds you have a huge spiderweb
Now we extinct one animal or plant. The kid with that card drops his threads. And the whole web breaks down.
I love that game because it visualizes the connections so well. A kid that once played it will always have an understanding for the connections in an ecosystem.

Sky and BBC add features to compete with Netflix
Greater user control and recommendations are added to the popular UK video platforms as they try to keep users from moving to rival video services.

Greater user control and recommendations are added to the popular UK video platforms as they try to keep users from moving to rival video services.
A European court has blocked Microsoft's attempt to trademark Skype's name in the EU, on the grounds that it is too similar to Sky's - but the effects of the ruling do not require a Skype rebrand.
The new subscription-free service from the BBC, Channel 4, ITV and Sky will offer live TV, catch-up and on-demand content - but it seems you'll need a new TV or set-top box to be able to access it.
From Surface success and the Office touch, to revenge porn, Amazon stores, flagship Lumias and a serving of HTC (c)rap, we take a look back at highlights from this week's top tech news.
Adding to its TV, broadband and landline packages, Sky is set to become a 'quad-play' provider with the launch of its own mobile voice and data services, running on the O2 UK network.
As the battle between Internet service providers and their customers who want to view adult content on the web rages on, TalkTalk has become the latest UK ISP to filter such material by default.
Various ads from Virgin Media have been banned after BT and Sky complained to the ASA over claims that Virgin customers could expect to download "five times faster" than on its rivals' networks.
Sky has announced the launch of its NOW TV on-demand streaming service on the Xbox One, bringing some of its top movies, sports and entertainment to the console for the first time.
Sky has continued to improve it's HD PVR boxes for their Satellite service over the past few years and today we are covering their latest top-end box, the Sky+HD 2TB which now includes built in Wi-Fi.
Microsoft is reportedly in talks with British broadcasting giant, Sky, aimed at securing a deal to sell discounted Xbox One consoles to their customers with TV and broadband subscriptions.
UK broadcaster Sky has an offer for UK residents that lets them get 800 free Microsoft Points if they try out the Now TV streaming video service free for 30 days, and more points if they pay for it.
Sky has become the third and latest UK-based ISP to block access to The Pirate Bay website for its customers, even though The Pirate Bay has launched a new IP address designed to get around such bans.
A spokesperson for The Pirate Bay claims that the recent decision to block access to the site by six UK ISP operators has actually caused a huge surge in traffic to the site.

1998 Ford Escort • 81,000 miles
Car starts in high idle every morning but comes down. In very cold weather and when it's wet outside car will kick into high idle. Tonight it was in the 20's and we had to stop the car 6 times and restart it to get it out of high idle. It also seems to go into high sometimes when we turn the heater on. It's not over heating or leaking anything. We've had the IAC replaced 3 times. It would work good for a few days then went back to the way it's been. No one around here can seem to fix our problem. And we're told unless it's in high idle when we bring it to the mechanic they'll have no way of finding the problem? Not getting a check engine light either. I can tell you that the air conditioner does not work and when this first started we unplugged our cruise control because we thought that was the problem. Read that when this particular car came out their was some issue with the cruise control and cars going into cruise by themselves.

Dorset is a beautiful place to visit on holiday with miles and miles of sandy beaches and interesting places to visit.
Most famous for its Jurassic Coast, the Isle of Portland, Chesil Beach and Durdle Door, as well as the holiday resorts of Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Swanage, and Lyme Regis.
Dorset is the principal setting of the novels of Thomas Hardy, who was born near Dorchester. The county has a long history of human settlement and some notable archaeology, including the hill forts of Maiden Castle and Hod Hill.
It's coastline extends some 140 kilometres from Lyme Regis in the west to Christchurch in the east, and offers a selection of the finest sandy beaches in the British Isles.
Dorset features some excellent museums, with world leading centres at Bovington (Tank Museum), and the Russell Cotes Museum and Art Gallery in Bournemouth.
Boscombe is just along the coast from Bournemouth town centre approximately 5 minutes by car.
The apartment is in a great location in which to enjoy the beautiful Dorset coastline and countryside.
Visit the stunning award winning 'Blue Flag' beaches in Bournemouth and Poole (including the world renowned Sandbanks). Take the chain ferry across to Studland and visit Swanage, Corfe Castle and Weymouth.
Mudeford, an idylic unspolit beach can be reached within 20 minutes, and whilst there visit the historic Christchurch.
There are plenty of places to cycle to. It is possible to cycle the entire length of the promenade from Boscombe to Sandbanks, whilst taking in the beautiful coastline and beaches. Bikes can be ridden along the promenade at all times except between 10-6pm July and August.
On a rainy day there are plenty of places to visit from the fantastic shops at Castlepoint (M&S, River Island, TK Max, Asda and Sainsburys), 5 minutes drive away.

Talking Shop - Monkey Dust
Recently, I've been wondering where my passion for animation came from. And in truth, I've been stumped. It was never Pixar or Disney, I knew that much. They never really had the profound life changing effect on me that they do so many others. I knew it wasn't Chuck Jones cartoons either. Yea, the rabbit was funny, but it never made me want to forge a career.The more I thought about the issue, the more I worried. It started to develop into a pathetic existential crisis. Maybe animation wasn't for me? Maybe I wouldn't be able to work in the industry anymore because I can't reference the first time animation hit me like a bolt of lightening? Maybe I'd be outed and I'd be force to leave. I wouldn't be allowed anywhere near Soho, and they'd take my degree back. They'd all bloody know I was a sham. I'd have to become something else, an accountant, or an estate-agent or something. These were dark times. I couldn't rely on quoting Kubrick as an inspiration any longer, it was becoming embarrassing. I needed some bloody animation to reference but I couldn't think of anything. I was a goner...
And then, after a night at the pub back in my home town, it hit me. Walking through the dying highstreet, past drunken children and aggressive kebab wielding maniacs, I had a flash back...this was the moment, the big reveal. The big life changing event that I would quote forever more!...well kind of...I couldn't actually remember what the hell the inspirational animation was called. I just knew that those dark alleyways of my hometown were perfectly captured in an old animation I used to watch. I remembered watching dark, grimey, green stories play out in the dead of night on the BBC. I remember the feeling of watching that animation. I was too young to be seeing this stuff and I should have turned it off. But I was a rebel at heart, and I watched week after week on the small TV I had in my room. The memory had hit me, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember the name. Finally, my Desert Island Discs recollection story had hit me and I was too stupid to know the name of the fucking tv show. Now I'd never win an Oscar.
So, I did what anyone would do. I opened Google and with as much intelligence as I could muster, I typed "bbc 2 animation series from the 2000's."...and there it was...the answer I had been searching for. The solution to my woes. My restoration of faith.
"Monkey Dust"...Instantly I remembered. The golden light of an angel hit the Wikipedia link on the screen and I was transported back to when things were easier. I was Indiana Jones, and this was my big golden egg thing. I was Neo, and god blimey I was about to take the green pill. No blue pill. Or was it the red pill. Who cares, I was about to be fulfilled. For the next two hours I sat watching clips on Youtube. I ordered the DVD and I felt like I belonged on earth once more. I could finally fit into society safe in the knowledge that I too had a bullshit story to share about the day I decided to be an animator. I could finally attend dinner parties and be an adult.
Monkey Dust was mine. It was the TV series that made me want to make animation. I didn't know it at the time, but now I realise how important it was to me. At the time of release, I would have been 13 years old. At that age, most people seemed to be down the park smoking crack or taking vodka shots directly through an eyeball. But I was never really that person. I spent most of my time in my room, drawing and watching hugely inappropriate tv shows and films.

It's difficult to describe exactly what Monkey Dust was like. It was at times, dark, disturbing and melancholy; whilst often being side-splittingly funny, offensive and depraved. It was a string of adjectives, all oxymorons to one another. But more importantly, it was a snapshot of a time and a place...it was Britain in all its glory and horror. Complete with depressed sex addicts, psuedo-intellectuals and yuppies. Rather than a patriotic, nationalistic love for a place that never existed, this mocked the realities of life in Britain and demonstrated that at the core of all broken societies, existed people with problems. Both good and bad.
Among them, my favourite, Clive Pringle. A middle aged man, who walks home each night to his flat in the city. On his arrival, his wife questions his whereabouts, to which he always responds with a bizarre string of excuses, all of which are plots to fictional stories; including 2001: A Space Odyssey, The A-Team, Humpty Dumpy and Hotel California. His wife points out the obvious lie, forcing Clive to reveal his true whereabouts, most often being sexually degrading tales, followed by his catchphrase, "...and that, darling, is what really happened."
There was Ivan Dobsky, The Meat-Safe Murderer - A man held in prison who is frequently exonerated, bounces around the outside world on a space-hopper called Mr Hoppy, only to find life on the outside a little harder to live in. Each week he would be released, only to once again commit horrendous crimes on his smiling space-hopper.
Then there was the divorced dad and his son Timmy. A dad so depressed from the tales of his old family that he commits suicide on each episode, whilst his son sits helplessly in the other room, giving his true feelings on his step-dad, Roger.
And of course, the famous Paedofinder General, a character who leads a witch-hunt for potential sex offenders across the UK. Strikingly current at the time, he listed many reasons for his trials. In one instance, he targets the cast of a production of Fiddler on the Roof, citing, "By the powers invested in me by a text vote on Sky News, I find you guilty!"
I don't prescribe complete influence of my life to this little know animation, but I do attribute it with being one of the first works to demonstrate that people all have problems. That realisation of our own failures and the failures around us, encourages empathy, rather than prejudice. And that rather than a constant obsession with a perfect world, are we not better understanding the realities of our situation in the horrors that we often ignore. Monkey Dust not only taught me to appreciate this style of storytelling, but also informed me that animation could be dark, adult and effecting.
Cartoonist Chris Ware once stated "Happiness is overrated." A quote that most people will retreat from, but in truth, a quote that so perfectly describes life and art. To constantly obsess about ones happiness is to ignore the realities of our surroundings. Monkey Dust manages to explore this void. It remains on the small list of animations that specifically engage with the darkness of our culture. Sometimes being deeply disturbing and harrowing, but often hilarious and comforting. Whatever point I'm trying to make about this shows effect, it's probably best to just say, go watch Monkey Dust.
If you are interested in more inane articles of this sought, why not check out Talking Shop, a bunch of blog posts about animation and whatnot. And for students from UCA, Monkey Dust - Season 1, is available on DVD from Rochester Campus Library.

Computer Animation or: How I Learnt to Stop Worrying and Love Pandora's Box
It's been some time since I updated my blog with any detailed content, so here's something to help break that silence. Over the past year or so, my freelance work has changed a fair bit and I'm starting to work on things more attuned to my style. I've also been working on non-CG projects, which have been helpful to get my head out of the game and reassess the best ways to work as an independent artist.
With all of this in mind, I'd like to start talking more about the things I'm learning and the things I care about within my work life. So, to start, I'm going to discuss a recent project and how thoughtful art direction / methodology is making my life way more manageable. In addition to how this is enabling me to find a new way of working in the computer animation field.
In January of this year, I completed some work for an independent film which has significantly helped me rethink methodology and art direction. Until now, I just kind of made CG assets to look the way I expected them. I tried to art direct to an extent, but I guess you could say I was still finding my feet. So, for a long time, I never really felt like the work I made was expressive of me. It's been a weakness for a long time, but I think it's changing.
The big shakeup during this project was time. The project deadline was really short. Like really, really short, with only a few weeks to complete a full sequence. This meant it would be impossible to make the film using my traditional pipeline. There wasn't time to render, or make smooth, animated characters. There wasn't time to UV and texture paint assets. There was only time to be as efficient as possible. Economy was key.
The director expressed a real liking for some of my paintings, so instantly there was an aesthetic to my drawing that needed to be captured within CG. This was great news, because I suddenly realised my drawings are expressive of me, whilst my CG work so far, tends to feel distant to my intent. So, I sat down and tried to figure out how it may be possible. The first thing I did was look at other artists who seem to be in control of there work. So, I reread David OReilly's paper Basic Animation Aesthetics for guidance.
The importance of animation aesthetics is such a subtle yet vitally important one. It might seem superficial to discuss these things, especially because cinema is so much more to do with content and story than a pure aesthetic experience, but nonetheless the visual nature of animation calls for debate on the subject. There is a continuous raft of animation, both commercial and independent, which looks the same, and I don't believe it has to be so. The more we think about the subject the more playful and interesting computer animation becomes, the medium feels to me like a recently opened Pandora's box which is still being examined, understood and tamed.
David OReilly
|Preproduction Character Sketches
OReilly's outlook, that the software is a Pandora's box waiting to be explored, is hugely relieving. I used to be a man who clung to rules. I worked the way I was told and followed the rules at every turn; and I was never happy. But this has never been the case with drawing or painting, those mediums always felt expressive and exploratory. The complexities of CG require rules, but for a long time, I'd been a slave to those rules. So, with this project, I decided to just see where things went (I know I've said this before). I started with a quick character sketch based on the director's description and preferences to help define a solid art direction. Instantly, the director was on-board, so it was time to open Pandora's box and start making things. This usually is where the problems start...
One of the main problems with 3d animation is that it takes so long to learn and then to use, from constructing a world to rendering it. There are many knock on effects of this, mainly it prevents people from attempting to use it and employ it artistically, the process is very discouraging for the individual to go ahead and make their film. Simple changes can take hours to do, and very often the process is so rigid it doesn't allow any changes at all.
David OReilly
These problems are hugely stressful and discouraging as an independent animator. The time waiting for renders to tick by takes its toll and it is rare for Maya to feel like a creative medium. So, the time constraint of this project actually led me to a new way of working which is incredibly exciting. Rather than rendering using conventional techniques, I used hardware rendering, which captures the scene directly as it appears on my computer. You move the character or lights and they react instantly. What you see on screen is what you get. Obviously, you sacrifice a lot of visual fidelity but the payoff is refreshing, flexibility. The addition restraints actually lead you to be more creative. It seems like a really obvious workflow now, but no one had ever mentioned it to me as a viable way of film making.
This new approach of instant feedback film making was incredible (although I feel dumb for discovering it so late.) The one caveat however, is aesthetic understanding. A few years ago, I would have struggled to make a scene look good in hardware rendering. It's a bit like watching Blue Peter as a kid. The presenter would make something out of egg boxes and paper-mache and it looked great, but when you gave it a go, it looked like shit. Therefore, you need a certain level of visual understanding in order to make things work.
So, I got to work making some really simple characters and objects. Because the aesthetics were cruder, I had a lot more room for imperfection. I didn't have to spend 20 hours refining the vertices or adjusting edges. Once I had a few assets in software, I started testing out how to implement my art direction. Rather than using UV layouts and textures, I used vertex colouring to paint each face of a model. Again, it's a simple approach but instantly worked. These early tests were inspired by the amazing Eran Hall. Bold, simple colouring to make characters feel almost 2d.
This approach then transitions across to the production of the environment. The environment of the film was an abstracted void space, so it was open to interpretation. Hardware rendering made this super easy. I could model things, vertex paint them, light them etc and instantly see the results. It forced me to try out new techniques, bodging ideas together to make the visuals I wanted. For example, rather than using a glow (as seen on the table) I just vertex painted some geometry with transparency. A lot of the projects I work on involve hyper-real CG, which means spending crazy amounts of time test rendering. This time, things came together pretty quickly. It all felt so much more natural and uncluttered.
And then it was time to rig...I stuck to my rule of economy. I kept the rig simple, partly because of time, but also because I didn't want the headache associated with slow, complex controls. The low poly nature of the character allowed for really nice deformations as well as simple animation using blendshapes. I had animated on 2's for a previous project and wanted to use the same technique. It felt natural to the aesthetic quality of film and also is becoming a personal preference.
I can't show the film online, and unfortunately, some unforeseen circumstances affected the project and the deadline became even shorter, so the final film was more a complex previs than a fully animated sequence. However, as an exercise, this was huge. The restraints and pressures that came along with this project forced me to analyse my work in the best way possible. I'm guilty of just making things because I think it might please someone or because I assume that's how things are made, so this allowed me to almost step outside of my own head and reassess my whole body of work.
|Wireframe Character and Rig
Lately, I've been working on a lot of non-CG projects which have led me to think about my future work. I've still not made my own personal film since graduation (and I'm not necessarily in a rush to do so) but when I do, this will be the route I explore. David OReilly's idea of software as a Pandora's box reawakens excitement for the medium. In addition, the realisation that my drawings are most expressive of me gives me a new route to explore. Lots of this stuff all sounds so obvious, and that's precisely why I wanted to discuss it here. Most of my life has been spent just doing what was expected. Perhaps this came from education or just my own mindset. It is only now that I start to question it all. Perhaps it is the reintroduction of traditional artwork that brings back this sense of exploration. But whatever it is, I'm on board and I'm keen to see where it all goes.

Gouache Doodles
And then there were more gouache doodles. And god said unto him, "Give it a rest fella..." There will probably more gouache soon. I've got a little bit of free time from work commitments, so hoping to post some older freelance work on the blog tonight. Just a few bits and bobs from some interesting CG projects.

Sweet And Sour Pork
15 minutes
3/4 pound pork, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 egg white
2 green onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1" pieces
1/2 large onion, cut into wedges
1 Roma tomato, cut into eight wedges
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 to 1/2 cup white sugar (depending on how sweet you like the sauce)
1/3 to 1/2 cup rice vinegar (depending on how sour your like the sauce)
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 cup pineapple chunks with natural juice, preferably not syrup
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water
2 green onions cut diagonally in 1 inch pieces (for garnish)
How to make it
Place salt, sugar, soy sauce, egg white, chopped green onions, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Whisk together until egg white is slightly foamy. Add pork cut into 1 inch cubes. Marinate for at least one hour stirring often.
Put about 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Heat over medium high heat. Add onions and green pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are cooked through, but still crisp. Remove from the pan. Put the vegetables to the side with the tomato.
Make the sweet/sour sauce: In a saucepan, mix water, salt, sugar, vinegar, ketchup and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer. Set aside. Make a slurry of cornstarch with 1/4 cup water. Set aside. (A slurry is a combination of cornstarch and cool water. It is a common thickener for Chinese cuisine.)
Coat the pork with cornstarch, and fry in ta few tablespoons of oil until evenly browned. Drain on paper towels.
Wipe out the frying pan. Add a tablespoon of oil. Combine the vegetables and pork including the tomato wedges. Heat thoroughly.
Reheat the sauce adding in the pineapple. When simmering, add the slurry and simmer until thickened.
Place pork and vegetables in a serving dish. Pour sauce and pineapple on top. Serve very hot over white rice. Garnish pork with green onions

Shepard Fairey took a break from the turntables to hang with Weezer's Brian Bell, while beauty echoed beauty elsewhere in the gallery...
SHEPARD FAIREY's Echo Park hotspot, SUBLIMINAL PROJECTS played host to the opening of a show of new works by comrades-in-arms ANDREAS GUERRERO and ALBERT REYES on Saturday nite, proving to be the undisputed bright spot of an otherwise gloomy weekend in the Southland. Showcasing his typical demented teenage Hessian detention room drawing style, Reyes produced an unfailingly funny array of new offerings and prints featuring subjects as diverse as Obama, Ghandi, Woody Allen, and Iron Maiden muse Eddie. Guerrero, conversely, consturcted much of his skull-centric imagery from layers of collaged currency which appeared to be angular homages to Damien Hirst's Calavera spin paintings. Above all, the show proved that Subliminal's dedication to presenting good emerging art at great prices will make it one of the last galleries standing when this bleak economic crisis finally runs its long, dark, demonic course.

ST buddy SHEPARD FAIREY has teamed up with his STUDIO NUMBER ONE (creaters of the "Hope For Haiti" CD cover) designers CLEON PETERSON and CASEY RYDER to create a new poster for HAITI relief based on a photo by TAO RUSPOLI. The $50 signed and numbered edition goes on sale at an unannounced time on Friday, February 5th at Obeygiant.com, with all proceeds from the sales going to ARTISTS FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE:
"Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ), established in early 2009, is a fundraising effort founded by Paul Haggis and friends that encourages peace and social justice and addresses issues of poverty and enfranchisement in communities around the world. Over the past year, APJ has directed its efforts to raising enough funds to fully sponsor three schools in Haiti in support of the initiatives of Father Rick Frechette and his team. These schools aren't just a place to learn but provide for a hot meal, clean water and a chance at the future to children who desperately need it. Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, APJ has focused its efforts on raising much needed dollars for emergency aid in the ravaged country that is only a few hours from our shores."
Supertouch buddy LANCE ARMSTRONG has added his custom SHEPARD FAIREY-designed TREK Madone cycle into rotation as he rides in the 100th edition of the legendary GIRO D'ITALIA race in support of teammate LEVI LEIPHEIMER. With a matching Shepard Fairey-designed brain bucket to boot, Lance is sporting a coordinated ensemble that even Bruno would give an enthusiastic "Ach ja."
*Watch live feed of the Giro daily HERE...
As if LANCE ARMSTRONG's Supertouch-curated custom SHEPARD FAIREY-designed TREK MADONE road cycle wasn't enough to snap necks at this month's GIRO D'ITALIA race, helmet company GIRO has just created a matching lid to up the ante. Incorporating swaths of graphics from Shep's race bike the helmet might just see the light of day on store shelves as an incredibly limited-edition run with proceeds from sales going to benefit LIVESTRONG. Keep an eye on ST for more updates in the coming week, including the chance to win one of the coveted brain buckets...
Where your brain could end up without one of these lids...
Creating SHEPARD FAIREY's new TREK MADONE racing cycle for LANCE ARMSTRONG's run in this month's GIRO D'ITALIA was no easy task. Luckily, Trek artist SHANE SIEDSCHLAG is nice with a blade and a decal sheet...
When pressed about Shep's new bike in Rome today, Lance told an AP reporter: "I'm a fan of his artwork. I collect his artwork. The bike that he did for this race I think is pretty stunning."
ITALY///SNEEK PEEK: LANCE ARMSTRONG'S SHEPARD FAIREY & KENNY SCHARF ART BIKES FOR THE GIRO d'ITALIA 2009
Here we have the very first sneek peek at LANCE ARMSTRONG's newly completed Supertouch-curated TREK art bikes for his run in the upcoming GIRO d'ITALIA by artists SHEPARD FAIREY and KENNY SCHARF. The world's most prestigious cycling stage race after the legendary Tour de France, the Giro is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2009, coincidentally the first year Lance has ever entered the race. Lending their formidable creative talents to the challenge, Shepard and Kenny created two vastly different and utterly unique cycles to draw attention to Lance's upcoming NIKE-backed "STAGES" anti-cancer art show benefiting LIVESTRONG that will debut on July 16th in Paris at GALERIE EMMANUEL PERROTIN during the TDF. Getting up on Lance's "daily driver" Trek Madone road bike, Shepard Fairey created a vibrant homage to Lance's cancer fighting foundation while including ancient patterning in homage of Italy's rich architectural details. NYC Pop Art legend Kenny Scharf took a totally different approach to Lance's Trek TTX time trial cycle and created the "lightspeed" space bike that will hopefully hurtle Tex across the finish line in record time. Both bikes will be auctioned off on October 2nd (10/2 marks the date of Lance's original cancer diagnosis) at the NYC stop of the "Stages" art tour with all proceeds going to benefit Livestrong. Look for detailed official photos of both bikes here on ST in the next few days. Meanwhile, ENJOY THE PEEK: Read More
It was only a matter of time, Supertouch's own SHEPARD FAIREY's iconic OBAMA campaign artwork finally made its way to SOUTH PARK last nite where the Big O received the typical Matt & Tre makeover on the season's latest episode. Watch it HERE...
By Abby Goodnough, NYTimes
BOSTON — This may be the only place in America where Shepard Fairey, the street artist whose omnipresent portrait of Barack Obama has become a touchstone, is not fully feeling the love.
Mr. Fairey appeared in two municipal courts here this week to fight a cascade of vandalism charges accusing him of pasting his work on public and private property from the Back Bay to Roxbury. While this is not his first encounter with the police — Mr. Fairey has been arrested more than a dozen times for posting his art on whatever surface catches his eye — it appears to be his biggest legal tangle to date.
By Wednesday, Mr. Fairey, who lives in Los Angeles, had pleaded not guilty to one misdemeanor and 13 felony charges; his lawyer said the police were pursuing 19 more counts.
In a statement Tuesday, Mr. Fairey accused the police of "gratuitous piling on" and suggested he was being punished for advocating that public space "should be filled with more than just commercial advertising." On the advice of his lawyer, Jeffrey Wiesner, he declined an interview request.
Mr. Fairey's court appearances came a month after he was arrested on Feb. 6 as he arrived at the opening-night party for his retrospective at the Institute of Contemporary Art. His cab was approaching the museum when the police stopped it, handcuffed him and took him to jail overnight. Click HERE to continue reading…
A wise man once said "writing about art is like dancing about architecture," but in a world where oceans of self-aggrandizing "artspeak" usually says much about an author's ego and little to nothing about artwork itself, Supertouch's own resident legendary art writer CARLO McCORMICK is the exception to the rule. This month finds him penning an incredibly astute piece on SHEPARD FAIREY for ART IN AMERICA from the rarified perspective of a genuinely street-level art world insider more at home on the Bowery than in Chelsea. At a time when the slow-moving mainstream art world and its legion of stiff-jointed scribes are playing years of painful catch-up on the "street art" game, this is a must-read:
By Carlo McCormick | Art in America
In a thank-you note written by Barack Obama to street artist Shepard Fairey for the pictorial provocateur's singular contribution to branding his campaign for the presidency, the then senator wrote: "The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe that they can help change the status-quo. Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign."
High praise indeed from such a highly regarded public figure. But what it ultimately says—that there is a cultural equivalence between fine art shown in established venues and artistic expressions put up illegally on private or government property—represents a tacit sanction of street art from the leader of the free world that is a dramatic shift in the perceived role of art as a radical tool of social intervention.
Emblazoned in our collective mind's eye as a defining icon of optimism and change, Fairey's Obama Hope poster, certainly one of his most endearing and personable images, is such a signature work that the original collage was recently acquired by the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, and related images graced the covers of Time and Esquire. It is, however, not a fleeting pop-culture sensation but simply the latest crossover hit in a long line of underground classics.
Fairey has made such an indelible mark on our visual landscape that it is difficult to avoid the platitudes we might otherwise eschew in the discourse of contemporary art. As he comes under greater scrutiny from the art establishment with a major retrospective of his work, now on view at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art, it is worth noting that his renown has grown organically from the streets and a global youth culture that the mainstream art world has only a vague grasp of. Click HERE to continue reading...
To officially launch the LIVESTRONG "Stages" benefit art show (full details below) powered by NIKE that will debut during LANCE ARMSTRONG's run in this year's TOUR DE FRANCE, an epic kickoff celebration was held on Saturday nite at Nike's MONTALBAN THEATER in the heart of Hollywood.Read More

Stars watch as Christ the King topples Rice
Deborah N. Harris & Maurice Wingate
But Christ the King proved to be king of the hill as it upset Rice, 60-52, despite a furious late rally by the top-ranked Rice squad in the game's final minutes.
Christ the King seemed to be more in tuned with the game than Rice was in its early going, so much so that by the 1:55 mark of the first quarter, the Royals had exploded to a 13-4 lead.
It was a lead that the Royals would not relinquish for the rest of the contest, as the team was relentless from all points on the floor - perimeter to the paint.
At the 6:31 mark of the second quarter, the squads were still at the same point-differential, 15-6. On a basket by Dominykas Milka, the Royals were up by 11 points. Attempting to prevent another basket, Rice's Kadeem Jack made his second block of the game with 5:12 remaining in the first half on a shot by Christ the King's Omar Calhoun. However, the Royals still regained the 11-point margin on another bucket.
Rice became a bit rattled with the early CTK surge and turned up the defense. However, Royals forward Maurice Barrow (16 points) got off a jumper and drew the foul with 2:28 remaining before the close of the first half. Though Barrow missed the extra opportunity, the Royals went up, 21-8.
Jermaine Sanders (20 points) fought to get some offense flowing for Rice with a turnaround bucket in the paint and later with a 3-pointer to make the score, 25-15, with about 25 seconds to go. However, at the buzzer, Terrance "T.J." Curry (15 points) drained a 3-pointer of his own to give his squad a 28-15 lift at the close of the half.
"(Curry) played great defensively and made shots," CTK head coach Joe Arbitello said.
Usual Raiders scoring contributor, Jack, could not get a decent shot down and struggled to aid Sanders on the offensive end, as CTK played man-to-man defense for the entire game.
"I thought our team defense (gave us the edge), throughout (the game)," Arbitello said.
Calhoun, who added 11 points, echoed his coach's sentiments.
"Being aggressive on defense full court allowed us to push the tempo early and get some easy baskets," he said.
In the third quarter, Jack started off strong in the paint on the defensive end, swatting away a few more CTK shot attempts. But, Jack, who seemed to lose confidence in his offensive abilities, was still not putting points on the board or in the record books. Christ the King had surged on a 13-5 run from the start of the third period that put the Royals up by 21 points, 41-20, by the 2:22 mark.
After another 3-pointer by Calhoun, Christ the King pushed the lead to 27 points, 49-22, in the opening minutes of the fourth.
Jack, who was offensively quiet during the first three quarters, quickly answered with his first field goal of the contest around the 6:30 mark and brought the game within 25 points. Raiders' forward Shane Southwell aided in the 11-0 run that Jack sparked, resulting in Rice closing the gap a bit to 49-33.
But the Royals quickly responded with a few unanswered baskets by Curry and Calhoun, and the lead was again 20, at 53-33.
By the 1:33 mark of the fourth quarter, Rice's ability to stage a late comeback became evident as the squad brought the game within 10 points. The run, which included a spectacular four-point play by Sanders and a few Rice baskets in transition, made the score 55-45.
Down the stretch, Rice was able to close the margin to as little as six points, 58-52, on another 3-pointer by Sanders with 12.7 seconds remaining in regulation. But the contest came to a close on a full-court outlet pass by Christ the King to seal it with a lay-in.
Jack, who finally warmed up in the last phase, scored all 10 of his points in the fourth quarter.
Among those in attendance at the game were Louisville and Florida head coaches Rick Pitino and Billy Donovan. Former New York Knicks basketball player Walt "Clyde" Frazier served as an announcer, while current Knicks center David Lee and some NY Knicks dancers were also in attendance. Deejay Funkmaster Flex provided music for the excited crowd, while hip-hop artists Fabolous, who performed at halftime, and The Game were also said to be present.
