I'd love to see that also.....although, I woulda thought Geiger would be a
bit beyond most 3D packages...given how bizarre the feller is.

any keywords in the message makes it difficult to find it on googlegroups
grrr :-)
Apparantly according to Erik Dehkhoda who's working on the Alptraum short
its not that difficult, though his versions are missing the "filth" effect
of Gigers originals. Wanted to check this other guys site out again as he
had some hints that might be useful. Trouble is so far he seems to be the
only guy who's attempted a 3D version of a Giger painting with any great
success, most might try the Alien or Eggs but thats about it.
I'm sure LW is quite capable of it though, Bryce can kinda do it, LW 7 with
bump displacement would / should be easy with subdivision, I'll try it in 3D
one day... one day...
btw im gonna do my Seattle Eric and point out its Giger not Geiger, sorry

fumes probably messed up his lungs, vibrations from the airbrush for 20
years messing up his hands (gets me painfully after just a few weeks
airbrushing so 20 years probably did him a lot of damage), coupled with the
fact that he's getting on a bit now, I'm surprised he's still alive :-) He
gave up his painting saying he was bored of it now, and wanted to
concentrate on his sculptures and toy versions of some of his artwork, so
will probably have a lot of guys doing the work for him, though he'll still
get his hands dirty if things aren't being done how he wants. his mind is
still as sharp as it always was though. But I wish he'd give up on the
scribble cartoonish pictures he sometimes does now, look very scrappy, but
heh he can still sell them for thousands so they can't be that bad :-)
Course now he doesn't paint anymore, there's a space in the art world for a
replacement *grins* and it sure as hell wont be my closest competition T.
Partington, who's site appears to have vanished suddenly for no reason
*grins* hehe, I think I'll just book myself a trip to Europe and go visit
him, maybe being cheeky will come in handy, see about buying some originals
too, could do with one of those up above the fireplace :-)

Didn't 2 of Giger's girlfriends commit suicide?
FRANK封 PANUCCI
At least one of them did. According to a magazine article from many years ago,
she had no family, so Giger claimed the body. He took it to a museum and had
the flesh stripped away by carpet beetles normally used to clean the bones of
zoological specimens. The skeleton was mounted and displayed in Giger's living
room, bullet hole in the skull and everything.
It that's not totally made up, it's, like, the coolest thing ever. The article
was in HEAVY METAL, which is well-known for journalistic integrity.

depression which she suffered from a lot, I think she's in the documentry
that they filmed around the time of her last exhibition (she used to be an
actress but got bored of it at some point), they were together for about 9
years and we're very much in love apparantly, so what Frank said about what
he did with the body afterwards could well be true (he did do a second
celebration of the four in memory of her, that might be part of it) we all
know Love makes people do crazy things :-) Course he couldn't have been that
hurt about losing her since he started seeing that Mia Bonzanigo (say that
name fast 10 times while drunk hehe) in 78.
Btw, Gigers two most famous paintings other than his Alien work, the two
female faces are of Li Tobler - No. 250 Li I, & No 251 Li II. I've only got
a print of the first one, looks great on the wall, seen quite a bit in
nightclub scenes in movies (it of pointless trivia for ya :-)

even though its a little far fetched I wouldn't rule it out completely,
Ok, just checked up on that second celebration of the four thing, looks like
the article you mentioned could well be true, sounds like it covers what
went on with this...
------------------------------------------
The Second Celebration of the four at Ueli Steinle's Ugly-Club in
Richterswil in 1976 was for me a considerably more serious event, since it
was intended to celebrate an homage to my late, longtime lover Li, and to
consecrate a specially laid out chamber for her.

Well, I haven't been there, so I can't say how it looks like inside. But I'm
sure that if you could have been married there she wouldn't be your "ex" now
;)
Some other bit of pointless trivia. In a sci-fi museum in some other town,
there is an original Alien from the 1979 film. And I saw this one. Not very
impressive. Those things weren't built to last. I don't even know if it's
still there...

costume in the movie to give it the eiwwy appearance didn't help too from
what I've read, they had to keep repainting it after every shot, then cover
it again with the stuff, I am very surprised the original is still around,
the full size one I saw was most likely made from the mold and not the
actual costume, it looked far too impressive to be the real thing hehe,
