MAC, those tests were done between Nerf battles... Ludovic had the fastest machines at the time... he always completed the tests first...
For the Olive test scene, indeed it was used for twister, imported as an .mi file... when changing frames took a minute. It was a cute animation though. ________________________________ From: olivier jeannel [[email protected]] Sent: July-25-14 4:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Friday Flashback #182 Sounds like a must see :) Le 25/07/2014 21:59, Jason S a écrit : It was made by Gunnar Henson, and I think I still have a VHS of that.. (how could I easily digitize?) The olive bounced around on a tropical bar with a 'drink mixer stick' trying to catapult itself into a martini glass, misses the glass, and bounces into an indegenous mask mounted on the wall gobbling it up, then saying 'Martini Mamboubou' or something like that.

When I finished CG school and got hired at Softimage as QA(1998), these were some of the tests that weren’t scripted yet and we had to do those on all three platforms(Win,Unix,Alpha) every morning and then approve the build. This screenshot was the back of a creature that we had to loft with nurbs and yes, the PPGs went through several designs. Stephen, another memorable test scenes is the bouncing martini olive which was mainly used to test Twister! ;) Any image of this somewhere?
