Timeline of CGI

The wikipedia page about CGI. The image is from Elephants Dream, the first CGI short movie released as completely open source.

Peugeot design contest

The Peugeot design contest (cause we like design).

3D from 2D image - IV

... or else, my way.

This video is part of an ad (Lifedrops) for KINO. It is created with Flint from 3-5 photos in about 40 hours (I will need a product like this for sure).
- First, each part of the photo was isolated (floor, walls, etc).
- Some painting and distortion was the next step.
- Then, a suitable geometry was constructed for each element in the scene (a simple plane was the majority) and positioned.
- The isolated pieces were mapped to the corresponding geometries and voila.

3D from 2D image - III

An alternative to Carnegie Mellon's research by Microsoft.

3D from 2D image - I

Carnegie Mellon researchers teach computers to perceive 3 Dimensions in 2D images.

Java raytracer - I

A Java raytracer. It does not work - as is - on the PS3 so, no benchmarks yet. I will recheck after the Linux installation on my PS3.

"One hundred years of tradition in an artform should not be thrown out the window when new technology comes along. In recent times the tools used to create animation have changed dramatically, but the principles of the art haven't. Animators still care about the same things: Poses, Timing, Arcs, and Spacing."
