A BD OBJECT ART CAVE BASED ON A PHOTO OF PETER LIEPA, TAKEN IN 1986.  
  
I GOT THIS IDEA WHEN I REALIZED WHAT IS THE PROBABLE WORD FOR 'P' IN dustin'S BD ALPHABET SERIES. BUT THIS ISN'T REALLY AN ALTERNATIVE CAVE FOR P BUT JUST A SIMPLE ART CAVE TRIBUTE :)  
  
AS USUALLY WITH MY ART CAVES, VOODOO ROCKFORDS ARE AGAIN OMITTED. THE IMAGE QUALITY WOULD BE BETTER WITH THEM INCLUDED BUT THE CAVE WON'T BE PLAYABLE.

THANKS GUYS! :) THE SOURCE IMAGE IS INDEED THE SAME THAN IN arno'S PAGE BUT I ALSO FOUND IT ON OTHER LIEPA INTERVIEWS AND SOME OTHER BD PAGES. IT FEELS LIKE LIEPA LIKES THE PHOTO SO I HOPE HE WON'T MIND USING IT AS BASIS FOR THIS CAVE. WE'LL SEE ABOUT IT IF arno REALLY IS GOING TO LINK THE DEMO VIDEO TO HIM :D   
  
I'M PRETTY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTING CAVE BUT FINDING THE BEST COLOR COMBINATION WASN'T TRIVIAL. THE FIRST RESULTS WEREN'T THIS GOOD. IT'S ALSO INTERESTING THAT THIS IS NOT THE MATHEMATICALLY BEST COMBINATION AND I FOUND BUT SOME TECHNICALLY BETTER COMBINATIONS USED ENTIRELY DIFFERENT COLOR PALETTE AND THE RESULT WASN'T AS GOOD AS THIS WHEN JUDGED BY HUMAN VISUAL PERCEPTION. IT'S ALWAYS INTERESTING TO START ART CAVE PROJECTS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW HOW THE FIRST RESULT WILL LOOK LIKE AND HOW IT EVOLVES. AND YOU NEVER CAN BE SURE IF YOU ALREADY FOUND THE BEST COMBINATION OR IS THERE BETTER ONE LURKING SOMEWHERE IN THE SEARCH SPACE :)  
  
enrico, THERE'S A LITTLE PUZZLE AT THE END. I DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING; ALL I DID WAS THAT I CHOSE THE EXIT TO BE ONE OF THE TITANIUM WALLS SO THE PUZZLE IS ALL NATURAL :)

WELL, I HAVE A FEELING THAT MY PREVIOUS COMMENT DID NOT EVEN GET CLOSE TO BE ADEQUATE TO THIS CAVE. BUT ALSO I THINK, NO COMMENT COULD EVER BE. IT'S JUST BRILLIANT, TO SAY THE LEAST!

HERE'S THE REACTION FROM PETER LIEPA TO THE YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THIS CAVE:  
  
-------------------------------  
  
HI arno,  
  
NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU. ONLY 15 YEARS AGO?  
  
MY REACTION TO THE CAVE IS A MIX OF  "HA HA", "YIKES!" AND "OMG!".  
  
THE ORIGINAL BD DEVELOPMENT DISKS HAVE BEEN DIGITALLY ARCHIVED BEFORE THEY FULLY DISINTEGRATE, AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL ALL END UP IN THE CANADIAN SCIENCE AT TECHNOLOGY MUSEUM (LIKE THE FINAL SCENE OF RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK).  
  
BEST REGARDS TO YOU AND YOUR PLAYER COMMUNITY,  
  
PETER
