A proposal for building a telescope using a number of cylindrical/parabolic mirrors instead of spherical/parabolic mirrors

This is a proposal born from many years frustration working with brain-dead CAD systems that seem to be designed with the vendor's interests in mind rather than the user's.

The technique for changing the colours of text in the windows command window is insane, here are some notes to help you cope

These are some doom2 “wads” I created years ago, you'll need a full version of doom2 to play them

Scripts for working with image masks for use with the enblend program for image blending with multiresolution splines.

Fisheye images are a way of representing a photograph with an angle of view greater than 180°. Stereographic is a conformal cartographic representation that has similar properties but with less dramatic distortion.

Hugin is an collection of Open Source tools with an easy to use graphical interface for stitching montages of images and creating immersive panoramas

This 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.

This 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.

A tool for assembling six JPEG cube faces into a QuickTime QTVR .mov file

Panoramic images from the 1963 book of partial cylindrical panoramas ‘MOSCOW’, rendered in PTViewer

Some interactive software for designing architectural profiles such as architraves, cornices etc..

A simple test of merging bracketed photos into a single high dynamic range picture of a stained-glass window

This is a panorama of the Tensile1 structure assembled from lots of photographs and displayed in PTViewer

This is a very old collection of VRML models
