tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31602 Loc: Seattle, WA	A while back, I remember seeing a web page where a guy had done some high-rez 3D animations using Tux, the Linux mascot. I seem to recall that one of them had Tux walking on the beach, for example. I remember these animations pretty distinctly because the Tux model he used was very authentic-looking with respect to the actual Linux mascot logo. I can't find the web page any more, but I'm interested in using that mesh if it's available. Does anyone remember the page I'm talking about and can help me find it again? _________________________ Tony Fabris

You know, based on the amount of time I spent banging on Google trying to find this site, I'm wondering if I'm better off just asking the BBS for all my links. Get quicker results that way. _________________________ Tony Fabris

andy carpal tunnel Registered: 10/06/1999 Posts: 5916 Loc: Wivenhoe, Essex, UK	To be fair to Google, searching for 3d tux returns the "correct" site as the second item in the results. _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31602 Loc: Seattle, WA	I tried about a thousand permutations of TUX, 3D, LINUX, PENGUIN, ANIMATION, MOVIE, MESH, and BEACH. It always seemed to return a bunch of links about 3D rendering software running under Linux. But the combination "3D TUX" was not one of the permutations I thought to try. _________________________ Tony Fabris

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31602 Loc: Seattle, WA	Okay, here's a COMPLETELY UNRELATED question that I just happen to be posting in the same thread. The "www.povray.org" site is down, and I need to get a 3.5x version of PovRay. The ftp.povray.org site is up but it only contains 3.1x of PovRay. Anyone know where else I can get a PovRay 3.5x binary for Windows? All the pages in the Google results seem to point back to povray.org, which is down at the moment. _________________________ Tony Fabris
