Tas_mania,
the world before and the world after?

[Tas_mania]

Hey thanks OMG appreciate your comment.

the world before and the world after?

I think you are right level_0
In the future (after I have long gone) people will have an almost empty landscape to themselves.

Wow, Tas_mania that's extraordinary

Fascinating to see your G'MIC effects so well combined with awesome 3D effects that I assume are the Mandelbulber

[Nidhogg]

Cool video Tas_mania, your car has gone through many paint jobs and traversed across many beautiful landscapes.

[lylejk]

Really cool, Tas. You must be a 5th dimensional creature living in a 3D world, that is for sure. lol

[Tas_mania]

your car has gone through many paint jobs and traversed across many beautiful landscapes.

Thanks Nidhogg. If I do another car video I'm thing more GTA3 using different filters on cars and backgrounds.

Thanks for the compliment lyle, you got the 'creature' part right

[Tas_mania]

Teapot.

Sorry I didn't notice your comment. One of the side effects of being an aging hippy is you miss a lot of stuff.
Nowadays when I'm doing maintenance jobs I spend half the time looking for my tools

Waiting for that GTA 3 madness mandelbrot movie from you Tas
Vice City was my favorite.

I've started on it. I looked at a game engine called Godot that looked promising but it's export options are limited to a game
Now I'm making a sports utility in Blender. I always put off learning it cause it's so damned intimidating. I can see it has animation abilities and interestingly you can import a fractal into it for 3d printing.
MadMax was an Australian movie and it would go really well with GTA Vice City, but they are getting closer to reality now.

I've used some GTA sequences before but they drive on the RHS of the road so I horizontally flipped the clip
I'm using an appimage of Blender 2.92 that works perfectly

[Nidhogg]

That's cool. Yeah, Mad Max movies are in the top tier of my greatest movies list for sure. Crossed my mind when you begun the desert drive series. Some of the vehicles in Mad Max have very high madness level
If you flip the clip make sure you don't run into road signs.

Just learned how to make a depth map in Blender, but I don't want to memorize too much new information at a time,
or I will forget how to do the real work.

See you around, have a nice weekend.

Congratulations, Tas- you have known how to combine so many different techniques and you handle them really well. Imagination and creativity are not lacking. I really like the result you have achieved and the car/train thread to unite the different sequences. The colors are very attractive and the animation is very nice to see.
Thanks for sharing your video. I liked it a lot.

Thanks Issabella I'm still learning I hope.

Nidhogg.
When I was young I hitchhiked a lot in Australia. In central Queensland I got a lift with some pot smokers. The accelerator cable broke on their car so I sat on the roof holding the broken cable with pliers. I realised if the driver hit the brakes I would be thrown forwards onto the road so I kept the speed very slow. The pot smokers didn't realise how slow they were going
We got to a wrecking yard and they found a replacement cable. I also rode a freight train at night on that trip which I wanted to do after reading Jack Kerouac On The Road.
