    I claim this base in the name of Thunder Chicken!

    Tinkering around to see if I can make a cloth mesh flap in the breeze. Or at least transform the mesh vertices in a more organic way than a simple translational/rotational/scaling transformation of the mesh group. 72 triangles shouldn't be too bad...:rolleyes:

    I wish it didn't look like an ISIS battle flag from a distance, might need to switch up the texture.

    A few years ago I made some animations in Python of schools of fish and various other sea creatures. I coded a schooling algorithm where the fish would form schools, staying together but avoiding contact, chasing food, etc.. Thinking that that code might allow AI formation flight.

    It was obligatory to get a Russian Pepsi bottle in 1990. This was just a few years after Pepsi started selling in Russia and the famous photo of a Russian Tu-95 crewmember putting a bottle up in his window during an intercept by a U.S. fighter was in recent memory.

    Souvenir pins were sold everywhere. Several of the folks in my group were exploring the market in the old fortress of Zagorsk and we looked at the prices and pulled out fistfuls of U.S. dollars, each of us buying a full set of pins, which made the babushka running the stand very happy. The ice cream stand next door similarly did very well.
