random updates
4am I feel the weight of the world looming. Can't sleep so I'll blog a bit on new surfing discoveries... like -
2 new trailer updates to Innocence the sequel to Ghost in the Shell. I don't really care for the lack luster audio track and the obvious 3d animation screams "i don't belong" but we'll see. It doesn't look like a production the author intended, he's usually a bit more mysterious than this.
Speaking of 3d, lightwave.. yes that once and mighty app i used long ago before the great wars, is now version 8! Gah.. looking at this stuff just makes my brain hurt.
2Advanced has been one of the most influential websites ever created. It has sparked copies and furious flash development all in the race to push the envelope of website design. CGTalk talks to the creators.
More talk on the WETA evangelion live action connection out there. Not much new but did find a nice collection of evas.
Rendered but should be semi-ok for work is CG Chicks What's up with That? Nice article.. girls just render better i figure. Look if yer gonna stare at the pc for hours on end creating something.. cg chicks isnt all that bad.
Last Samurai was a great movie and i honestly thought there was no digital effects in the flick, well none noticeable at least.
If you ever get the itch of "oh i can do that..." or want to mess with 3d but don't really have a clue and just wanna mess around... go get Zbrush! And if yer still hungry check out dogwaffle a pretty cool paint application with what feels like a new take on creating digital art.. it animates too. And lastly, check out Expression sometime for more in experimental art apps. Its one of my favs.
Ooo I love motion graphics.. check out these movie main title openings. Very cool. Must read motion graphics knowledge... want.. need.
Cool look at Halo2. Maybe its time i actually picked Halo eh?
Serious Sam lightwave 3d objects!
