Someone asked offline so here it is.
I guess I could do some movies too if anyone is interested?


When you see the car in person its much much cooler than any picture can convey. Partially is that its just such a large vehicle.

sure, let me borrow it for a while, i'll make a movie:D
seriously though you could probably make a few bucks renting it out for music videos. i doubt movies though, cause they would wanna trash it up.

Yah, but I'm a wiz with bondo.

nice pics! thanks!
but do you have some pics with better quality?

Very nice Tony. One of my favourite colours for a Múrcielago. You have made many of us very envious and jealous of you. As for the vids that would be excellent if you could do that. Not many owners do this and it is really appreciated of those who do.

Thanks.

Ok,

So, I'll post some better quality pics and do some movies too.

I'm going to Vegas for a few days so it'll probably take a week.
:cool:

A week to get to Vegas? :p j/k, Have a good trip mate and I can't wait to see the vids.

Thanks again.

enjoy your trip!

and... can´t wait for your pics!!

Where was that photo taken, because there are some other nice cars in the background :) I like it.

at a well known dealer somewhere in america..
i know that background from car ebay auctions

I see... My nearest exotic dealer is H R Owen, but I dont think they have anything like that!

yea the english have themself some good sportscars so you don´t have so many italian cars

You see a fair few... Loads of Ferraris, 360's mainly in my area.

he wanted to post some better pics...

The backround in the picture is Motorcars in Springfield MO. (a Lamborghini owned franchise I beleive.) They also sell Ferraris and misc other exotic cars.

That is good. :D

why can´t there be such a dealer at my town ? :D

I have to go all the way to HR Owen to get that experience. :(

Actually not so close. Springfield MO. is not my town... I live in Dallas. I have to fly there.

You flew there? Good idea! I will fly to HR Owen!

but i told you that i´ll need our helicoptre tomorrow :D

I will get a new one, only £100,800,000!!!! :D

well.. so put on the money printing machine :D

have you seen that the donkey´s are shitting gold ?

If you kick them hard then the make rubies and diamonds!

:eek:
i don´t kick any animals :D

when they are made of diamonds like them it doesn't matter :D it only hurts your foot. :D

:xelicon:
i don´t kick our statues :D

why not? we can just buy another 2 to replace it. :)

hm
a whole statue made of diamonds..
that would go beyond the scope of our money

nope... have you seen the mine :D

oh hrhr dammn big cellar

I was shooting the squirell miners with a ray-gun yesterday...:devil:

squirrel miner?

I enslaved all the squirells in the forest, so now they mine diamonds.

:confused: you´re crazy :D :D :D

I know I said I'd post more pics and movies. I will. Sorry for taking so long. I got some excellent movie ideas, I just need time.

In the mean time here is one pic.

Tony!

You are a lucky person to own one(Murci..)
But im sure you worked a lot or got a great idea...or something else...( can I ask what you do for living?)

Just wanted to say that I bought a car like you the same color:cool: ....from Autoart!!!
at the scale1:18:p

And for those of you who don't have that kind of money? GO buy yourself a small one
it's better to look at VS in a magazine!!!

I wish for all of us... a video of your car.

tanks

hey tony thanks for the nice pic!

you´re living in a nice area as you can see on the pic!

I'm president of a computer game company in Dallas. We make a popular strategy game called "Age of Empires". Recently we were acquired by Microsoft. (www.EnsembleStudios.com)

Thanks..

The things we look for in Game artists (in order of importance)...
1) Traditional art skills such as figure drawing.
2) Tool skills, specifically Max (3D Studio): Modeling, Animation, Textures
3) Personality fit: Good team skills, good attitude, leadership skills are a plus for aspiring art leads.
4) Passion for playing computer games: If you dont love the end product your in the wrong business.

Hope that helps.

RE the Star Wars games: We licensed our technology to Lucas Arts. That means we gave them most of Age of Empires to start with. They began by replacing all the Medieval art with Star Wars art. The end game is very differet but still familiar. In the end we were not happy enough with their game and decided not to have our company logo (Ensemble Studios) put on the box. It is a good game, just not a great game.

well the last point is for me :D
third maybe,too

what job couöd you offer me now :D

I would be very happy to come out of retirement and consult for you, I have done that sort of thing for years before I retired. :)

thank you very much tony. Now all i gotta do is get better with 3d studio max. but those programs are really expensive:( oh and what type of education should i have.

Business, economics, maths, for businessmen. But depending on your career you take different courses. All things like 3d studio cost a lot.

It really doesn't matter if you learn your 3D skills with 3D Studio or some other cheaper modeling/animating software. Once you have the skills they translate easily from tool to tool. The key thing is for you to find out whether you enjoy it and whether that passion is enough to drive you to become excllent at it.

All but one of our artists went to art school for traditional training. There are very good art schools such as "Art School" and "Sheridan". They are hard to get into, but if you can get in you can make a good living as an artist. However, many very good artists come from lesser known and less expensive schools.

Our one artist that didn't receive formal training as an artist used to be a lawyer. So thats an option too. :)

How many Harvarders? Now over here they do not care about what uni you went to.

Not I. You a Harvard grad, JSB?

I went to a school call the University of Texas. "HOOK'EM HORNS!!"


But I dropped out. So I'm not setting a very good example.

Well that just shows you can be successful with no Degree. I studied at Cambridge.

it´s a pitty here in germany
even with a excellent school finish it´s not sure you get a job!
i donßt know if you guys know anything of the unemployment rate here in germany but i´t will soon hit 11%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(

wow! :eek:

yea that´s really horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

11% Ouch. Thats tough.

During the dot com boom I thinnk we (US) were south of 3%. Now, we just hit a five year high at 6%.

6% is fine but 11% just thin about that every tenth person you see in munich city has no job...

Holy shit that isn't good at all dude- especially when you consider how very talented Germans are indeed- perhaps you guys in Germany who can't get jobs should emigrate to somewhere that you can- for example- one of the Biology teachers at Moss1O6GTi's school couldn't get work in Germany so she emigrated to New Zealand and found a job with ease :)

if it would be so easy...
we germans often don´t want to relocate when we look for a job.
and many speak a bad english (like me :( )
well i´m now 18 years old and it´s my last year at school.
i have no clue what i´ll do when i finished school.
i´m not sure if i want to study something.
maybe i´ll move to england for half a year or a year to improve my english!!!
but i´m scared because i don´t know anybody there.
maybe i could also go to america!

hey someone here who would accomodate me for some time? :D


well i just read in the newspaper that the unemployment rate is only 10% well still enough!

Tony, congratulations, and Happy Birthday! I am extremely interested in your work. I have been programming video games since grade 2, until "education" got in the way. As of the new year, I am getting back on track. I love video games and computer rendered graphics.

Hey, DNovo. Since you seem to have a lot of Murcielago pics, can you hook me up with an ice blue one? There are a couple on your website, but no really good ones. Well, if you got one please help me out and post it. If not, thanks any way, and you've got a great site. :)
