Standard 3D window captures

Goldstein window captures




Tux, floating in front of the Earth, holding a Utah Teapot.

I made this as a profile image for social media accounts, in 2007. The world represents global unity (ie. scientific progress), Tux (the Linux mascot) represents open-source, while the Utah Teapot represents 3D graphics, gaming and virtual reality.


Tux, floating in front of the Earth, holding a pink Stanford Bunny.

This was intended as the replacement, using the Stanford Bunny instead - rendered with Standard 3D.


A large, shiny, pink, Stanford Bunny, floating in front of the Earth.

Aww, fuck it.


The logic of emotion.

This diagram representing the logic of emotion was created in 1997.


The logic of emotion.

This diagram representing the logic of emotion dates from 2003. It was created using the Pov-Ray ray tracer, because the scene file made it easy to align and colour the text.


The logic of emotion.

A 2022 update, with "frustration" instead of "annoyance", "laughing" instead of "laughter", and Verdana instead of Arial. It's also been antialiased by resizing a larger image.


A fish like image editing accident.

This fish like image was created from a desktop screenshot, and transformed in numerous ways using the GIMP image editor.


Mandelbrot Set image at 100% zoom.

An image captured by a Mandelbrot Set viewer I wrote in 2005.


The sun, with halo.

Just a photograph of the sun taken with my Nikon D90. I used a cropped and resized version for several social media banner images.


Totalitarianism symbols diagram.

Most people associate totalitarianism first and foremost with violence, but it's actually based primarily on deception. Whether it be pre-medieval, medieval, neo-medieval, or modern I.T. based, control of information is the aim, through some kind of supposedly benign dictatorship.

This is a diagram of the three main stages of totalitarianism: traditional monotheism, Communism/neo-Nazism, and corporate software (including social media). The logos are arranged from left to right in chronological order.

The religions/corporations/platforms are: Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Catholicism, Islam, Protestantism, (radical/academic) Feminism, Marxism, Bolshevism (Fabianism/Leninism/Stalinism/Maoism), Nazism, Globalism, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, Tencent, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, WeChat and Tiktok.

Nb. (Early) Christianity is actually a form of Science Fiction (whether or not Jesus really existed). It was deviously co-opted by Catholics, Muslims and Protestants during the Satanic and Middle Ages.

There's also a LibreOffice Draw file.


Globalism logo.

As I was designing the previous image, I searched for a globalism logo, and found nothing official, so I decided to make my own. It's a combination of the United Nations and European Union flags, in classic Communist red, white and black.

There's also a LibreOffice Draw file, with both red and yellow stars, and a Scalable Vector Graphics file.
