Brazil 2 DVD with Gnomon Workshop
By Zeb on Friday, November 21 2008, 10:20 - Brazil 2.0 - 6507 views
After many weeks of hard work until September, I'm happy to announced the release of my first DVD with Gnomon Workshop The subject of interest is focused on creating materials with the rendering engine Brazil 2 for 3dsMax. The DVD would be helpfull as well for any Brazil 1 users and would be fit as well to be used along with Brazil Rio Edition (the free version of brazil)
I apologize in advance for my bad english which is coming with a really strong french accent 
Let me detail the content of the DVD. There are hours of lecture going through all the different materials and textures coming with Brazil 2, and an overview of the general workflow. And I added a practical example in order to experiment all the knowledge shared in the lecture. The exercise consisted to reproduce in CG a still life photography set that I did, you can see the final CG render below. The picture is highly perfectible, but the purpose of this practical example was mainly didactic.
Amazing 3d space interface
By Zeb on Monday, November 17 2008, 11:21 - Internet - 6115 views
Impossible to not think about the movie Minority Report when you see this demonstration of that amazing interface. I can't believe this technology is already out there and people start to implement it in systems. The perspective of using such an interface for graphic artist is simply mindbreaking for motion graphics as well as 3d artists. Can you imagine moving lights or scultping a model with this kind of worklfow... so amazing, right ?

What's Up ? Madagascar 2 and Monsters Vs Aliens

It's been a long time since I last updated this blog, I apologize for that and I will try to keep updating weekly from now on...
In the first place, I'd like to express my satisfaction about the election of Barack Obama in the country I live in, it makes me for confident and it profoundly moved me to follow the election night and speeches. Since 2003, so 5 years under the Bush administration, I can tell you that even for me a little French non-citizen it feels like a complete change of direction. I have not any huge expectation, but to see someone open to the dialog at the head of the US just made me feel a lot relieved. End of the policital chapter
Beside that, Madagascar Escape 2 Africa is done and will be released tomorrow November 7th. Of course I recommend you to get out to the theater with your family and watch it. That was a really entertaining movie, simple and without any pretentiousness, that I had the chance to see with my 2 years old daughter, it was her first movie ever on the big screen. She loved it, and so I did just by watching her dancing on the music of the ending credits, after she got scared by all the impressive shots or after she laughed intensely during the slapstick jokes. That was a truly moving moment to see my daughter having fun with a movie I contributed to.
