#nixie tube

My little title sequence for my latest font, now with music and sound design. (and completely re-rendered for vertical video)

Normally I grab a half finished musical composition to use in shorts, but this one I wrote from scratch.

Project time tube.

Still into the process of making all the required parts.

This shot shows what has been finished till now.

3D modeled some nixie tube eyes for robot designing purposes

I did a multi light, only I used 32-bit renders in After Effects.

Saw an OC with a cool nixie tube / broken halo effect I wanted to see if I could reproduce in Blender.

Pretty happy with how this one came out. 😇

Character reference under the fold

Demon chee (which I believe belongs to @Sunshot_Pup on Twitter).

Unfortunately I'm yet to find the artist. Please note me if you know.

My first exposure to these was the countdown timer used in the UI of Final Fantasy VII during timed sequences.

A cold-cathode "Nixie" tube. In the 1950s if you wanted to display a digit, there were no LEDs or LCDs available yet to use. But with 170 volts or so, you could bring one of these gorgeous neon babies to life, and illuminate one of the ten numerically-shaped cathode wires inside.

Announcing Métropole Nouveau

I read somewhere that another name for Art-Nouveau was le style Jules Verne, which inspired this retrofuture animation.

The technology displayed here is a Nixie tube, which were pretty common in the 50s and 60s for numerical displays. They were the direct precursor to the VFD's used in older hifi gear. Ive imagined what one might have looked like if they were made in the Art-Nouveau era, with the older style font, and a blobier, more hand blown, tube.

See the font here!

Still in the process of making. Brass and Steel have been hand cut into shape. Using old school technology. No CNC is involved.

A time consuming fabrication process. Spent almost a year, cutting all those parts from raw Materials.

A total of 428 will end up in this tube clock.

Made an unreadable clock!

A Nixie Tube clock and a shoe! Not much else to say...
