I do quite a bit of parametric modelling and I see how something like this could be made. Find the angles of the sun at specific times, project planes at a fixed distance and angle matching around your cylinder, sketch the time number you want on each plane with a fixed pitch and then project-cut back through the cylinder. Would be a pain in the ass though. And a pretty tough 3d print without soluble supports, given all those tiny tiny interior walls and cavities.
That’s a cool project, it’d be interesting to see a time-lapse video through full daylight hours (with a couple extra frames at the intervals when the numbers are clearest).
For anyone who’s interested, Hatsumi-sensei’s school is called Bujinkan Taijutsu and is practised in Japan, the US, New Zealand and other places. It’s a serious self-defense style and students train without mats, because if you need it to defend yourself, you’ll probably be on concrete. It comprises kicks, punches, throws, joint locks, weapons and poking opponents in the most painful nerves.
You’d be surprised how hard it is to hit anything with a throwing star.
I knew a guy who trained in ninjitsu in highschool. I trained in Kung Fu for a few years before I met him. We used to spar after school and he was ridiculously hard to fight. All of his moves were deceptive. Even simple kicks and blocks were meant to decieve. As a result I was constantly trying to predict his actual motive instead of just fighting him straight-up. It’s a really neat style that seems to be very effective against other trained martial artists. Idk how it would fare against an untrained street fighter, but I’d guess that it is just as effective in that situation too.
It wasn’t until the age of eighteen, when he was given access to the clan’s ancient scrolls, that Kawakami finally realized the purpose behind his decades of training
Am I the only one that while looking at those pictures it screams make it a museum and clearly you’ll make a profit? Even if it were in red numbers at the end?
No license fees, most content could be reruns of shows that they did while explaining how it was made in those rooms, no rent money and on top of that the generation that grew up with that content are the ones that have jobs right now and clearly they would pay for the tour that won’t need many employees since it’s probably a medium size building?
I’d go on a road trip and pay just to see that building if it became a museum. I imagine all the cool things like the wall or any remaining items have either been vandalized, renovated, or just flat out removed, sadly.
I wasn't gonna cry until I saw the drawings on the walls - that's a piece of animation history right there, and something you just can't recreate in a new space. If you framed some of that sheet rock and saved it for a generation or two, the cash from the collectors auction you'd get for it would probably pay enough to bring back Space Ghost.
That might be it. I was thinking it could the a spike in voltage that shorted the traces. But nothing else got damaged in the house, so it is less likely.
