Light posting tonight - other stuff and a bit tired

Working on some other stuff and also fighting off some low-grade thing that has been nosing around my immune system for the last week or two. Early evening. We went in to see a matin�e showing of the latest Transformers movie. That was a lot of fun and worth seeing on the big-screen to fully appreciate the CGI that went into it. A lot of throw-away sight gags that were only on the screen for a few seconds -- references to other movies, etc... Go and see it. One thing that surprised me was the level of sophistication of the models used for the Transformers. You can build a good human model from about 1,000 to 3,000 polygons (not counting bump, hair and surface maps). I would like to know the number of polygons used on even the smaller Transformers. Optimus Prime must be in the tens of thousands -- the Decepticons even higher. And I hope that Hasbro is licensing the car hood ornaments used -- I would love to get a nice subtle Autocon ornament to replace the plain vanilla Dodge on my truck... Off to the DaveCave(tm) to check email and then to an early bed...
