I’m continuing my Portal theme with a new wallpaper today that I finally got some time to complete. The render is of the ever watching camera of GLaDOS, the infamously insane Aperture Science computer. I modeled a higher poly model to make it appear as realistic as possible. I don’t know about you, but that red glow is a little creepy!

A new wallpaper today, inspired from the game Portal. Towards the end of the game you get a look at some of the computer screens that have the Aperture labs logo on them. The great thing is they have some slight phasing happening as well.

I thought this would make an awesome wallpaper. But I wanted to be as precise as possible. The phasing was PVR captured off my flat panel TV. I just ran an audio signal through the composite port on the TV and got some really clean digitized phasing to use in this wallpaper.

As of Monday night at 10 PM, Star Trek: The Experience closed it’s doors forever at the Las Vegas Hilton. Approximately 1,500 fans came to watch the decommissioning of the attraction. It will most certainly be missed. Lets hope CBS and Cedar Fair are successful in finding a new home for the Experience to start new memories and missions. This is so incredibly sad.

“Captain Boutte returned to the podium one final time with his closing remarks, and as he held aloft a signed baseball that represented the cast and crew of Star Trek The Experience, he reminded us all of the optimism and hope that Star Trek represents by quoting Mr. Spock in Star Trek II, saying “there are always…possibilities.”
