2002-03-13 23:11:54This is a panorama of the Tensile1 structure assembled from lots of photographs and displayed in PTViewer
2002-03-13 23:11:54These are the pictures taken before and during the Gatecrasher Summer Sound System 2001 event. They are mainly photos of the Kayam, No-Fit-State and MT66 tent structures. The event was located at Turweston aerodrome.
2001-06-13 23:11:54The 20-pole Kayam concert tent is about 7,500m² (80,730 ft²), blue and has an internal span of 40m (131 ft). This was the main stage the Summer Sound System.
2001-06-13 23:11:54The MT66 structure is a larger system than the Kayam with a span of 66m (217 ft), though this six-pole installation had a smaller internal area (5,010m², 53,930 ft²) than the Kayam. This isn't the largest structural system of it's kind, the Tensile1/Valhalla tent is bigger.
2001-06-13 23:11:54The No-Fit-State structure is much smaller than other structures like the kayam, valhalla or MT66, it's only 36m (118 ft) diameter. Though with a purple interior, a silver exterior and no visible support, it's unique.
2001-06-13 23:11:54A proposal for building a telescope using a number of cylindrical/parabolic mirrors instead of spherical/parabolic mirrors
2001-02-05 23:11:54This is some software I'm writing to create cutting patterns for 3d surfaces. This is similar to Patterner for Windows except that instead of just outputting an outline for cutting, it outputs a series of full-colour images for printing based on any source image. For example, using this program I can pre-print all the panels of a complex shape like a tent so that the structure has a photograph printed over the entire surface.
2001-01-12 23:11:54Image patterner is capable of mapping an image onto any rectangular mesh surface, not just a sphere
2001-01-12 23:11:54This is a perl script for taking a spherical panorama image (or a spherical globe map) and slicing it into segments suitable for sticking together into a 3d sphere.

2001-01-12 23:11:54Tensile1 ‘The worlds biggest mobile tent’ was used here in Sheffield for Gatecrasher's New Years Eve millenium party. I took pictures every day as the structure went-up, during and after the event.
2000-01-13 23:11:54I'm interested in Panoramic photography and viewers – Plus anything related like mapping panoramas onto structures or maps onto objects.
