Hey! it has been a time since I posted stuff. But I started a project to do a print poster for a charity association which is specialized to save our local open air bath. You can check out the association webpage (http://www.naps-ev.de/).
Anyway they are planing an event to make it possible to swim at night with an illuminated open air bath. Live Musik, Fun.... etc.
So I thought I modle a moon with his little lamp and a floating tire... ready to swim at night =)...
Maybe I post the whole poster in another post (whow one sentence three times post)...
Ok hier is my moon comments and crits are welcome... I have also a thread running on (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=92&t=523077)
ok enough words ... here it is:
That is why I posted this Thread on cgtalk.com ...
For this scenario I have a LW scene with three cameras shooting a 4,5mx3mx2,5m room.
Camera24: 640x480 Focal Length 24mm
Camera35: 640x480 Focal Length 35mm
Camer600x300: 600x300 Focal Length 35 mm
I set up the scene this way:
to shoot from the front...
and from the left...
Here are the results... nothing fancy with surfacing and lightning because this should only be a camera perspective test...
Camera 24: front+left
Camera35: front+left
Camera600300: front + left
unfurtunatly this is not realy what I have expected or in better words what I would like to see in the end...
Because when I think about having a guy walking in there... with this camera view I have not overview over the scene... and it doesn't realy feel as I would be a part of it... =(...
Next Pixar Project (Film) is going to be called WALL · E and it is the next one after Ratatouille. This was anounced in disney' Letter To Shareholders . I am excited to see first trailers/teaser... But WALL · E is expected to be in the movies in June 2006 =)
Whow now it 2007... That is great let's see what it brings. I hope I find the time to write more often. To paint some pictures and to be able to investigate more in my hobby 3D. I neglect my 3D art last year very shameful and I really gone spent more Time on it. Well it is the 2nd of January and I really wanna do. let's see what this year brings. That was a kind of New Year's resolution, I guess, although I really don't believe in stuff like this. I admitted it to the journal now it is written down and locked... =)...
But thinks like this does not come from words... so I stop writing fire up my fav. app. and do something... instead of writing about it.
By the way: Everyone whow reads this and is (or is not) in the same position would like to share there New Year's resolution is very welcome to do so.
It might be interesting to see if what others expect from themselves or from year 2007.
Happy New Year....

I found a little tutorial or more a description of how a certain facial expression is animated for Pixar's Incredbles Movie. I found this on VNOG Blog who is actualy an Pixar Animator. Here he share's some very nice information about a scene where Dash takes a suprised face reaction.
See the Blog here and the Tutorial with original movie sequence
This is 10 Frame step by step.... thanks to Victor Navone for sharing...
Does anyone know what this means (TMNT). Oh yes I see, this is going to be another movie post. TMNT stands for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, remember? Whow... I loved them they had a couple of movies back in the years and they also had a TV series...
AND now they are back!
this is realy amazing I loved to watch them on TV when I was young. So I have to see it...
Yesterday I managed to watch CARS. I know I am late but it was worth it...And I was blasted... I love their style of visualising things. But most of all it is the whole package. They have a nice, cute story which is realy catching. And a long the fantastic story they were able to give the cars a heard and a soul. The face expressions and everything was turning cold metal to warm personalities. Everything reminded of cars the lanscape had a shape of cars even some little flying cars were littel bugs. This movie is definitely a must seen for old and young ones... Especially those who like CGI... ;)
hey... another post about a movie. This one is dedictaed to the Pirates of the caribbean movie. It is the second part of the sequal and it comes with a lot more cg effects than part one. Main effects where produced by ILM - Industrial Light and Magic . They developed a new motion capturing technique which does not have to have special lightning or other enviroments. The new technique allows "actors" to play there role ones and the captured data can be used - so no bluescreen room sessions are needed.
This is a big advantage compared to KING KONG and Lord of the Rings where Serkis played the his role ones with the other actors and after that the same scene where recorded in bluescreen envirement for mo-cap.
here you can find a detailed article
Beside the mo-cap davy jones is a cg-character which was commented by the critiques as very good make up and etc. So surfacing was done excellent. One of the tools which have been used is ZBRUSH.
Here is an ZBRUSH interview with ILM
AND some HIGH-RES-Pics
for all people who are interessted in cg effects this is a musst seen. And the end is open for part 3....
