The Matrix things, I was just screwing around.

The bottle-label is for a render I was trying to do, but the MAX-default wood procedurals sucked and I discovered it's nearly impossible to make anything look gold in MAX, so I gave up.

Nice work I must say, the "you are here" element of the Matrix code is particularly nice... a full screen - true to the movies - version of that code with the same "you are here" on it would make a good desktop :nod:

I take it you mean the font I used?

The readme in with it said something along the lines of "Made from characters copied and traced from screen-shots of the movie", so I just took that to be true.

Meh, live and learn.

Oh no, it's not the font - the font seems ok, but.. well look:

The one on the left is part of yours - and on the right part of a Matrix desktop (you've no idea how hard it was to find some actual shots of the code...). Anyway you can see the difference. There's a bit more to it but you see what I mean.

Dammit.

I had two code fonts, and the other one was the right one.

Anyway, I've redone it, but the JPEG has practically no compression and it's like 980kb IIRC:

I'm not happy with the Blonde and Brunette text, but it's the best I could come up with.

And yes, I did just copy-paste all the code over and over again. No ****ing way am I typing all that **** out.

an0n: need random letter generator?

Nah. I prefer doing things the semi-hard way. If you change alot of that text back to a normal font it says things like "Virtu loves to take it in the ass" and "I wonder if that loading program can make a naked trinity".

.....

Why didn't I expect that kind of stuff coming from you?

Perhaps because I am both stupid and tired.
