Astro-viz folks, It appears the spammers have figured out how to by-pass the "captchas" - those wiggly images of text that you must type in to create an...

Hi Mark, I'm not sure when I am scheduled to talk on the 4th, but I am will be arriving from Reno, so I hope I am scheduled late. If not, perhaps I could be...

Folks, I often think this email group is underused. Perhaps we are just too busy. Today, I saw the Mira animation, and after digging, found that it was done by...
I just saw that animation today and thought it was really beautiful! Unrelated, I signed up for the Viz day at Adler next month - who else on the list is going...
Frank, Thanks for the nod on the animation. It was the most fun artist's concept type work I've gotten to do in a while! This particular science result really...
On the conversational side of things, have people been watching "The Universe" on the History Channel? I think it could stimulate some significant discussions...
... I've seen two so far - SNR & alien galaxies ... Goodness yes, I completely agree. I think the pacing was worse in the SNR segment, galaxies didn't feel...
Re http://www.galex.caltech.edu/MEDIA/2007-04/video.html ... Y'know, I thought it was cool even before I read that it was done with software I'd helped write....
Hello, I just recently found out about this group and joined. I'd been looking to improve the background star fields in the SVS visualizations and finally had...
... Pretty! Your strategy for making the Milky Way visible works really well and produces a very appealing look; I may have to borrow it. :) I've done this...
Cool. I only had a chance for a quick look, but I'll be back again. I created a similar B,V to RGB process a while back, so I'd love to learn what you did. I...
Hi all, ... This is beautiful work. One thing that I did for our real-time stars was to actually use the MK classification in the HIPPARCOS catalog. I don't...
Tom, That's pretty fantastic, and in fact is exactly an image resource I've been trying to find for some time myself! We've had up a gallery of full-sky...
I plan to use these for our solar and geospace vis work but figured making them generally available could generate some good feedback for future improvements....
... Duplication is a good bet. The bright stars look blown out, with solid cores, as if the Gaussian peak was much higher than 1.0 and got clipped. (Compare...

Tom, Again I have to say this is fantastic. We will make (credited) use of this in our in-house short feature "The Infrared Sky" as the missing piece to let us...
... Say, have you tried other star profiles (PSFs) besides Gaussians? We've been using exponentials, as in exp(-abs(r)/r0) rather than exp(-r^2/r0^2), as I...

... It's beautiful. Betelgeuse is orange, Rigel and the Pleiades are blue. The only thing I might tweak is the PSF of the brightest stars--I kinda liked the...
... Another way to get solid cores is to allow the filter peak to scale above 1.0 and then clip it. I think this is closer to the way detectors saturate. I've...

... I use a combination of Gaussian and exponential profiles. The Gaussian, clipped at 1.0, gives the core look, but the exponential provides the wings. I...
