Hi there,
been working studiously on a few things recently, the results of which are up and about!
Anything new other than that to mention? Well, people seem a bit freaked out by Facebook places. I must admit that I am abit unsure as to its fucntion other than for advertisers to be able to target people when they are near their respective stores. But then I guess that it can only be good for the economy. I might give it a bash in the next few days.
Has anyone heard of Diaspora?

Its an open source "privacy aware" version of Facebook. Some are touting it as a Facebook killer. Any truth in that do we think? I'm not really convinced. i like the sound of it, but will Facebook really be the new Roman empire? I doubt it. It will probably just be another thing I log into as well as twitter (Facebook killer) and LinkedIn, Stumble Digg, FourSquare etc etc etc.
So, my exciting stuff? well, 2 things, a new showreel of my character animation and also, a nifty little video that I have done of Manchester after some sort of attack. I am also working on a VFX shot whereby Manchester gets a facelift Blade Runner style.
Showreel

just wondering why the smoke in a city's fire or explosion do not move? not even a tiny bit?
ReplyDeleteor i just don't see it , would look cool. here is one approach on how to do it..

just noticed i didn't described here how i was doing it in detail. the idea is that blobmesh is generated by some spheres, which are animated, and they are slowly moving and rotating. frame by frame blob mesh is generated, which is rendered (blob mesh - implicit surfaces, soft bodies, or whatever name u have in your software)
It does move, but I agree not enough. Some people see it, some don't. The turorial can be found on video co-pilot.
ReplyDeleteI used the liquify tool in after effects.
It was a testeras I'm going to be doing some post on a short sci-fi movie.
Point taken and cheers for the comment!
