The Prodigy: Warrior’s Dance
Posted in: Corin Hardy, Motiongraphics, prodigy, Sergio Damele, Stop-motion, Stranieri, video musicale, Video Musicali, videoclipPer il video del nuovo singolo dei Prodigy, ‘Warrior’s Dance’, il regista Corin Hardy ha trasformato pacchetti di sigarette in forme umane per poi dar loro vita. Le scene di live action sono state girate in due giorni in un pub a Londra nel distretto di Hackney, mentre ci sono volute quattro settimane per l’animazione a passo uno. La scena delle noccioline è l’unica generata al computer.
Corin Hardy ha dichiarato di amare le favole dei fratelli Grimm, che gli hanno ispirato l’idea per questo video, e di realizzare pacchetti di sigaretti umani da quando aveva quattordici anni. E pensare che non fuma.

Network Sim / Sim Cluster
Posted in: RealflowI was wondering If any of you have messed around with network simulation for realflow, What methods you have used, and what got you the best results.
All I have found Is this:
http://www.realflowforum.com/view_topic.php?id=2418&p=1
Summary: The basic theory is that you run the simulation on multiple computers with a lower resolution and a slightly different seed values. Then bring in all the particle caches and mesh them together.
I am planning to develop a script/program to automate this process but before I do I wanted to find out some more current information and ask around. If you are interested in such a script, what are some of the things that you would like to be included.
Here are the features that I am Planning:
Settings to Pick which machines on network to simulate from
Automated/Manual Input of seed values
Test Sequence to Approximate Speed of Machines
Automated / Manual Distribution of load
Automated moving of files and Centralization of Caches
Automated Alert System (cell phone / email : Errors, Completion, Restart)
At Completion Start Realflow on Main Workstation with files loaded and ready to mesh
Who's in charge here?
