Google Maps Typography

alpha-map450.jpg

Over the course of several months beginning October 2008 to April 2009 I’ve spent some of my spare time between commercial projects searching Google Maps hoping to discover land formations or buildings resembling letter forms. These are the results of my findings limited within the state of Victoria, Australia.

2 Simple UI questions

ey there, I have 2 little questions regarding the UI which have been bothering me.

The first, regarding the usage of a tablet, one I use my Wacom with nuke, unlike when using my mouse, when I right click to enter the menu if I use my wacom it will automatically pick the last used node. it will only let me browse the menu if I leave my finger on the button. any way to fix this?

2nd problem is when I decide to work with floating windows, sometimes my node graph will freeze and I’ll have to maximize and minimize the viewer, any apparent reason for that? I am working with a Quadro card if that helps.

Thanks A lot in advance, Uri.

Stock Blood footage

Hi, I’m working on a project with a lot of gunshot wounds with plenty of blood splash/spray.

Im looking around for some stock footage I might be able to purchase/download with lots of blood spatter from plenty of different angles.

Can anyone recommend me a stock footage package or point me in the right direction?

Thanks
