Vesti iz industrije

[Highlander]

Palo mi je na pamet da bi bilo dobro da imamo jednu ovakvu temu.

S vremena na vreme ću postovati neke zanimljivosti iz sveta kompjuterske grafike, a takođe očekujem da i ostali kažu ponešto o CG industriji koja se poslednjih godina izuzetno brzo razvija.

Da ne smaram više sa uvodnom pričom, slede vesti.

Prvi svetski 3D festival

...održaće se ove godine, od 19. do 23. novembra, u Singapuru, a okupiće svetske ličnosti iz sveta kompjuterske animacije, kao što su: Jeffrey Katzenberg (CEO, Dreamworks Animation), Jim Gianopulos (Chairman, 20th Century Fox), Dan Glickman (Predsednik, Motion Picture Association of America), Mark Zoradi (Predsednik, Walt Disney Motion Pictures), James Cameron (svi znamo ko je ) i mnoge druge.

Wall•E


WALL•E do sada zaradio oko 450 miliona dolara. Od toga u Americi samo 220 miliona.


DVD izdanje izlazi 18. novembra. Na njemu će se pored filma i slika naći i kratki animirani film Burn•E (to je onaj robot koji ostane zaključan napolju nakon Volijeve i Evine vožnje svemirom ).



Ovde imate nekoliko trejlera.

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs


Dobre vesti iz Bluesky Studios-a. 4. jula 2009. izlazi treći nastavak svima poznatog serijala Ice Age, koji je do sada zaradio oko 1,2 milijarde dolara!
Režiraće Carlos Saldanha, koji je takođe režirao i drugi deo, a učestvovao i na kreiranju prvog.
Potvrđeno je da će se Scrat pojaviti i u ovom delu.

Spoiler za radnja:

Dok traje ledeno doba, dinosaurusi nisu izumrli već žive ispod leda, u tropskim uslovima. Kada se led povuče, njihovo stanište će biti otkriveno. To je otprilike to, moraćemo da sačekamo jul za bolje informacije.

Moj doprinos.

Izasao je novi mudbox



New Sculpting Features and Enhancements
Mudbox 2009 software delivers incredible real-time performance, an expanded toolset, and larger default libraries of stamps and stencils. The following two videos demonstrate the new sculpting features of Mudbox 2009, including new sculpt brushes (Foamy, Grab, Flatten, Wax, Scrape, Repeat, Spray, and Imprint), real-time shadow effects, and how Mudbox has been rearchitected to handle higher-resolution meshes.

New Texture Painting Features and Enhancements
Mudbox 2009 software provides the ability to paint texture layers with new paint tools and work with custom stencils. This video demonstrates the new texture painting features of Mudbox 2009, including paint layers, painting different channels (Diffuse, Bump, Reflection, Specularity), paint tools, projection painting, and paint using stamps.

User Interface Enhancements
This video demonstrates the new interface enhancements of Mudbox 2009, including a welcome screen featuring one-minute tutorials to speed learning, enhanced tool trays, Viewport filters (Ambient Occlusion, Depth of Field, Tonemapper), the ability to save material and lighting settings as presets, and a new map extraction interface.

New Rendering Features and Enhancements
The video demonstrates new rendering features, including Nvidia® CgFX shader toolkit support, real-time lighting with shadows, maximized workspace, camera bookmarks, material presets, image-based lighting, and viewport filters.

Izasla nova maya

Maya 2009

Kako jece jedan, najgora verzija do sada (puna bugova)

Features:


Accelerated Modeling and Mapping
Autodesk® Maya® 2009 software delivers a significantly streamlined poly modeling workflow. This video will introduce you to the key tools you need to familiarize yourself with in order to take advantage of this workflow, beginning with the software’s powerful, new selection features, which now includes true soft select, drag-selection, camera-based selection culling and more. You’ll also learn how to take advantage of the improved symmetrical modeling functionality, merge vertices tool, average normal move and other new features. Finally, you’ll see a demonstration of key new UV layout and unfolding options such as Preserve UVs and interactive Unfold and Relax UVs.


Maya Assets
With Maya Assets, complex data can be effectively organized, shared, referenced, and presented. In this video you’ll learn how to encapsulate a set of nodes into a container so that they can be treated from a user’s perspective as if they were a single node. We’ll then demonstrate the feature’s flexible referencing options, and show you how to create customized Maya Assets libraries.


Animation Layers
A powerful new animation layering paradigm in Maya 2009 built on technology from Autodesk® MotionBuilder® software, gives you more flexibility as you non-destructively create and edit animation. In this movie we’ll show you how to take advantage of this time-saving featureset: focusing particularly on blending, merging, grouping and re-ordering of animation layers; plus we’ll show you how to override or add to preceding layers.


Rendering and Stereoscopic Content Creation
Maya 2009 includes tools developed specifically for the creation of stereoscopic content. In this video we’ll introduce you to the in-viewport stereoscopic viewer and the default stereo camera rig. We’ll also discuss the new streamlined workflow for getting that rig information into Autodesk® Toxik™ software and how to get the best results from your multi-camera renders in the mental ray® rendering software.
The workflow improvements between Toxik 2009 and Maya 2009 stem largely from the updated Maya Render Pass system. In this movie we’ll give you an overview of this system and then take a look at the new IPR for mental ray enhancements, including support for the rendering of smooth meshes in mental ray and IPR for mental ray.


Maya nParticles
Maya 2009 introduces the second module built on the highly acclaimed Maya Nucleus unified simulation framework: nParticles. This new Maya Unlimited toolset gives you a precise, efficient workflow for simulating a wide range of complex effects including liquids, clouds, smoke, spray and dust. In this video we’ll specifically look at the stickiness functionality for nParticles and nCloth, nDynamic presets, the fill volume for nParticles feature, nParticle to nCloth interaction, nParticle to nParticle collisions, liquid simulation, as well as blobby and cloud hardware display.

Autodesk kupio SoftImage, tj. kompaniju Avid koja proizvodi dotični program.

Izgleda da su rešili da budu monopolisti, jer sad kada imaju i XSI, nijedan drugi program ne može ni da im prismrdi!

Šta znam, juče sam tek video... A dve nedelje posle baš i nije mnogo kasno.

Pixar objavio nekoliko slika iz novog kratkog animiranog filma.
http://cghub.com/blog/view/4-new-pub...s-short-burn-e
Deluje lepo i zanimljivo. Videćemo 18. novembra, kada bi trebalo da se pojavi.

Još jedan naslov koji obećava je Coraline.
http://cghub.com/blog/view/laika-s-c...-sneak-preview

Sad nešto ne radi YouTube, ali ću postaviti linkove ka trejlerima čim bude struje.

Up. Novi Pixarov dugometražni film. Treba da se pojavi krajem maja 2009.

Kako se pravio Wall-E.
http://cghub.com/blog/view/new-wall-...duction-photos

Nije valjda da niste videli kratki film Oktapodi? Sram vas bilo!
http://oktapodi.com/

Prvi dugometražni animirani film baziran na priči iz Resident Evil serije igara je Degeneration. Ovo ne bi trebalo da bude loše, verovatno izgleda slično Final Fantasy-ju. Koliko sam uspeo da vidim iz trejlera, režija je mnogo dobra, ali animacija i likovi baš i nisu na nivou na kom bi trebalo da budu...

Napravio sam grešku u prethodnom postu, tj. odvalio sam. 18. novembar je davno prošao i Burn-E se izgleda može naći na netu...

Obećah trejlere za Coraline, pa evo ih:

Zamalo da otvorim novu temu, sa istim naslovom, čak vidim da sam i identično počeo prvu poruku, a onda sam imao deža-vi i na svu sreću uradio pretragu

Da pokušamo ponovo, a ovog puta se nadam da tema neće uginuti tako brzo

Da ponovim, ovde možemo stavljati vesti o novim verzijama softvera, mogućnostima, novim tehnologijama, metodama koje se koriste u filmskoj industriji, zanimljive demo-reels ili čak radove, akcije i popuste na programe i sve što vam padne na pamet a moglo bi biti korisno drugima.

Ja ću (početi)nastaviti sa jednom takvom akcijom, naime, Daz3D daje besplatno svoja 3 najpoznatija programa još neko vreme, pa ako nekoga interesuje, trebalo bi da požuri sa downloadom. U ponudi su Daz Studio Pro 4, Bryce 7 Pro i Hexagon 2.5, koji zajedno vrede nešto više od 800 dolara, prema regularnim cenama.
Lično, mislim da Daz Pro, iako najskuplji, najmanje vredi u ovom paketu, jer je worthless posing piece of sh**, za koji će vam kasnije trebati modeli koji se kupuju (mada ne znam šta sve ide u ovom besplatnom paketu), ali hej, to sam samo ja, možda se nekome to sviđa. Definitivno ću isprobati Bryce, mada već imam neku predstavu o čemu se radi, i Hexagon, gde želim da isprobam sculpting alate.
