Balut is not cool, but Zimmern is
I love a bunch of crazy food dishes - but I just can't hang with balut. It may have been about 2 years ago that my friends and I were talking about it. Gilbert said his dad used to eat it; with a beer - as a snack.
That week, one of the other artists brought it to the studio for us to try. Gib said he wouldn't eat it. I was gonna try, but I couldn't get past the smell of it - - smelled like the chicken/duck barn we had growing up. Others tried it (briefly)... then last year - a guy comes on TV with a show about all kinds of wild stuff to eat.
Andrew Zimmern is a gastronomical superhero.
This year, his show - BIZARRE FOODS - just got a cool new animated intro (although I liked the tentacles of S1:
see title by Motion504).
http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Bizarre_FoodsYou can get the whole first season on DVD now!! (And apparently there's a book coming)

Mothers Day: 3D Flower
As an experiment, John Haley put together a 3D flower for a mothers day promo, and with it, a procedural texture. Of course, you could always scan a real petal of a flower, then map it to the geometry, but in CINEMA4D it is really easy to create a detailed texture, then modify it (either numerically or through BodyPaint 3D)...
