I thought it was time I put something on done in the new program 1.5, so I decided to put this on as a wip as I have no idea how long it will take me. The head was modelled in 1.23b, because I started it some time ago, I have textured it in 1.5 in texturemaster cloning the texture from a photo. I haven’t been successful yet at producing a complete figure in Zspheres and so I am producing the hands separately. Even so it was still better being able to create the rest of the body in Zspheres. I used the splatter brush for the clouds which I found useful. The nominal building is to be the house that the prisoner, number 6 lived in, the image is just a test image. I have included an image of the figure parts.
For anybody not aware of what The Prisoner was, it was a TV series that was shown first in 1967, the story of a government secret agent who resigned. He would not give his reasons for resigning and was abducted unconscious to wake up in a house that interior wise looked like his own. Once he looked out of the window, he realised he was in a strange location that turned out to be what was known as the village. To all intents and purposes it was democratically run, but in reality that was a sham surface show. Everybody was monitored by cameras that were placed everywhere, in 1967 cameras in public places were generally unknown, not so now. Most people played the village game of pretence not so McGoohan as number 6, he was in the village but not of it. You never found out who ran the village and people of different nationalities were there. It has often been suggested that McGoohan was pointing to the dangers of a global big brother society where citizens are continually monitored and freedom only appears to exist. Frank Maher who was McGoohan’s stunt double and also played parts in some episodes lives in my street. He says that McGoohan started with the basic plot and then the series developed as it was being made. The episodes were not all pre-planned only the beginning was.
