Hard Light Productions celebrates the first anniversary/birthday of its official opening on the seventh! With the community, we've amassed almost 300,000 hits, and we passed 60,000 posts in the Forums just last week.
What I want to ask all you forumites is - what has HLP been to you this past year? I know that when Thunder and I first had the idea of this place, we were definitely thinking small. The monstrosity wonder of a community that is now Hard Light was simple beyond my imagination - and now that I'm here, I wonder how I ever got along without you guys. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
So, what about you then? Have you gotten sucked into the Hard Light community too? Made new friends? Honed your skills? Gained entirely new ones you never knew you had? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Boy, I feel old... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Yes...yes..yes...yes...
Bah, you're just a youngin...

meh, it's alright, i guess (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Well, since we lack anything better, this lame attempt will have to do Setekh. I didn't know that you were one of the founders though. I guess that makes you Sheik Steak. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
Seriously, I've only been around since... um... whatever that little date thingy over there to the left says, but in that time I'd have to say I've learned stuff and I've met interesting people. The focus on space combat sims and 3d work sits well with me. As far as online communities go, it feels like coming home.
As for feeling old: imagine realizing you've past your tenth year in an online community. Imagine that your existence there predates your relationship with your wife. Now THAT is old, Young'un. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

have you ANY idea of how much trouble you're in?
assault on a police officer.
Theft of police property.
Illegal possesion of a firearm.
FIVE counts of attempted murder.
That comes to...
twenty-nine dollars and 14 cents.
cash, cheque or credit card?

What's old is when you're at some airport and you say a s/n, perhaps yours, or perhaps the name of someone like Setekh. Another person at the airport hears you and shouts your s/n, then runs over to you and you carry on like good friends; Then suddenly you say "Hey, you don't look like Setekh!" "What? I've never seen your before in my life!" "But I've seen YOU!" "Where?" "Every time you post on the forum, your picture is displayed below the post!" "But..but...It's an AWACS!" "That's right...I've seen it for 15 years and I know EXACTLY what it looks like...IMPOSTER!" "No, no! I really AM Setekh!"

Ah, but I haven't learned to use my rendering tools proplerly yet! And I have a 20-page paper due on the fourth! WAH!
This has only been here a year? I feel like I've been here a year! And my name isn't even associated with anything worthwhile here yet!

*groan* The GTC Cake?
Well, it's only a few hundred polys... maybe a thousand with the pipes...

You call that a cake? ...are you sure it's edible? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

What are you, some kinda pansy? Puts hair on your... well, everything, what with the nuclear reactor core! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
And it's a HLP cake! you don't eat it, you fly it or blow it up!

hehe, Setekh has exactly 7777 posts. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
I took a closer look at that cake and now that I think about it, it does look like some kind of futuristic nuclear fusion reactor. (or maybe a photon beam cannon) The stuff on the bottom looks kind of like a circular sidewalk or something, the texture of the cake is a metal one (aluminum I think) commonly used in real life, the top is a solenoid and of course, there's that beam thing coming out of the top of it.

Well, I've been around since almost the beginning, and I can say that I've probably seen the singular most dedicated modding community out there. There's been so many great ideas here it's impossible to count. Ah, I remember the good old VBB days, when we were all youngins *ducks from the thrown bar stool*
Anyway, it's good to be part of a great community.

Only a year?!? The community seems so much bigger than that. Looking at my date I see I joined in May... not that far from January. And then when I joined it seemed like a big community.
But yeah, it is a good community that pulls you in. It's the only forum I regularly visit (and spend my unemployed-mornings at)... and I don't even do modeling. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Possibly one of Setekh's early renders in which he made a light a primitive with steel texture by accident and it still shone brightly. Hence, hard light. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Going out on a limb 'Hard Light' has been used as word for solid projections/holograms. So the Hard Light Array is where the original crew got together to conjure up some creative projections of their own.

Bing! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) Well, almost. Correct in that we took the concept of 'Hard Light' being a solid hologram (we first heard about it from Rimmer in Red Dwarf). We thought that was cool and added the Productions on the end. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) (When I say 'we' I mean Thunder and I, way back in The Beginning. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif))
And, as for the bit on the Array, that's actually a bit younger than HLP itself - some six months after we opened HLP, I came up with the idea of the Array. I then catalogued all my renders into it and have done so ever since. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) The name 'Array' stemmed from me being an AWACS, but fit conveniently in with the idea of a render archive... so, I stuck with it. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Ah, yes, I remember when the Array was born. Way back in the day, when we still had to take Elysiums to school and Apollos to battle young man. I remember(and still have, I do believe) the Terran Pride Render.

well, the Silmarilion is not a novel, it's a lot of fluff by JRR Tolkien put together thanx to his son after his death, so it's obviously not an academic work (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
