+<TITLE>Bill Spitzak Artwork</TITLE>
+
+<p>At one time I had some notion that I could be a science
+fiction illustrator.  I managed to paint a few things and sell them at
+science fiction conventions.  My most productive period was around
+1985.
+
+<p><a href=dragonsegg.jpg><img align=left src=dragonseggicon.jpg></a>
+DragonsEgg (a neutron star, spinning 5x per second.  The plume of
+exhaust is being bent by tidal forces)
+
+<p><a href=liar.jpg><img align=left src=liaricon.jpg></a>
+The Liar ship from RingWorld
+
+<p><a href=ringworld.jpg><img align=left src=ringworldicon.jpg></a>
+The Liar after crashing on RingWorld
+
+<p><a href=longshot.jpg><img align=left src=longshoticon.jpg></a>
+The Longshot from RingWorld (I did a bunch of RingWorld
+paintings).  This won me an award for "Best Amateur Spaceship" at the
+Boskone sf convention in Boston 1985
+
+<p><a href=movie.jpg><img align=left src=movieicon.jpg></a>This illustration has
+the distinction of making me more money than any other.  It sold for
+$125.
+
+<p><a href=osprey.jpg><img align=left src=ospreyicon.jpg></a>
+"The Osprey"  A sort of coast-guard cutter for the asteroid belt.
+This was a preproduction design I did for a no-budget movie that never
+got made.
+
+<p><a href=warpod.jpg><img align=left src=warpodicon.jpg></a>Preproduction
+painting for another no-budget movie "Warpod".  The actual movie would
+not have had any destroyed buildings.
+
+<p><a href=vatican.jpg><img align=left src=vaticanicon.jpg></a>The
+Pope's spaceship.
+
+<p><a href=winged.jpg><img align=left src=wingedicon.jpg></a>CGI of a space
+station made for a USC student film called "Winged", directed by Val
+Keller.  Over 70 effects shots in this 35mm production.
+
+<p>More to come

+
+<br>At Digital Domain I also spent a lot of time making this water.
+
+<p>For clarification, a lot of other people worked on this water too!
+Perhaps as many as 50 or 60!
+
+<p>Contrary to popular belief, <i>the ship is not CG</i>.  It is a
+miniature, 1/20 scale (about 45 feet long), and easily the most
+detailed model of the Titanic ever made.  It was produced by the
+Digital Domain model shop, with many outside contractors (1/8 scale
+and 1/4 scale sections of the ship were also produced for filming in
+real water).  This model survives, and will be on permanent display
+<i>somewhere</i>, though noone seems to know where as of yet.
+
+<p>The people on the ship, the water, the smoke and steam,
+the seagulls, and some of the rigging is CG.  They are rendered
+with Pixar's RenderMan.  The people were modelled and animated using
+SoftImage, the other items with Side Effects's Prisms.  The sky is a
+painted photograph, run through "pan and tile" to pan with the scene.
+
+<p>The water is produced using Arete's RenderWorld software, with many
+modifications that I worked on with them to add reflections and
+texture mapping to the surface.  The "foam" is live action footage
+shot from straight overhead of the Lane Victory, a WWII victory ship.
+These images were scaled and duplicated several times to adjust for
+the fact that the Titanic was three times faster and twice as long,
+and texture-mapped onto the water surface.  The spray against the ship
+is a Prisms particle system, enhanced sometimes (though not in this
+shot) with live action shot with high-pressure hoses in a swimming
+pool.
+
+<p>Though not used in this shot or other "hero" shots, the Titanic was
+modelled and rendered using LightWave for "set extensions", in
+particular to make the hull below the full-size set.  LightWave was
+also used to produce a very detailed and accurate "simulation" of the
+Titanic sinking, unfortunately only a small portion of this simulation
+is seen in the final cut.

+<h1>4-D transforms to move center of ellipse gradients</h1>
+
+<p>Demo that it should be possible to calculate a 4-D transform such as
+used by OpenGL to produce an elliptical gradient with arbitrary center
+point.
+
+<p>A 4-D transform is a 4x4 matrix. It is multiplied by the vector
+x,y,0,1 to produce the values X*W,Y*W,z*W,W. Dividing the first 2 by
+the last W value produces the output X,Y.
+
+<p>This example is just distorting an image, producing artifacts due
+to the input pixels and due to the algorithim being unprepared for
+such extreme distortions. In the actual implementation the matrix
+would be inverted and used to produce an input x,y. sqrt(x*x+y*y)
+would produce the index into the gradient map. This inverted matrix
+can be calculated directly from the ellipse and center point
+information without too much difficulty. Transforms of the pattern can
+be achieved by multiplying the matrix by another matrix, so that the
+resulting shading calculation is exactly the same speed.
+
+<p>Here is the source image. This is best thought of as a 2x2 square
+centered on the origin. The circle has a radius of 1:
+
+<p><img src=circle0.png>
+
+<p>This shows that a 4-D transform still produces a circle, but the
+center point can be moved (if you can turn off the visibility of the
+red channel you can see just the circle and not be distracted by the
+perspective of the rectangle):

+<p><img src=circle1.png>
+
+<p>This shows that with more extreme transformations the center can be
+moved quite close to the edge without making it not be a circle. In
+the actual implementation the output image would be smooth since it is
+directly calculated, not looked up from an image:

+<p>Example showing a more typical ellipse with slight offset of the
+center, and that rotations of the ellipse axis are also gotten from
+this:
