The latest additions include several paintings and drawings plus

1) A 34 minute film presentation about a demolished Victorian iron railway bridge -- a study in industrial archaeology. The video is on Youtube and accessed by this link.

3) A review of the modelling of trees by computer, including fractal trees, L-systems, biology-based models of growth, and CGI applications such as SpeedTree, UE5 and Houdini.

4) A simple account of photogrammetry -- the process of determining 3D information from 2D photographs. It covers the principles of calculating object positions in a scene from overlapping photos. Also stitching images together into a parorama, and other aspects of computer vision..

5) Drawing in perspective: How simple objects appear when drawn accurately. This includes a section on how computer graphics software rotates an object, plus an account of non-linear perspective using the map projections. A supporting article describes spherical triangles,
