next gen mac pro: when?

Hey Apple freaks,

Im considering buying a new computer and wanted to see if anybody knows any rumors about wen the next generation of mac pro’s will see the day of light. I think the current gen came out in january.

I was hoping for intel i7 cpus and better gfx card options.

The vfx + IRL result

Hey guys.

I saw a funny thread a long time ago on CGtalk about extremely funny moments in the lives of CG artists. Seeing as we’re a diverse group of people, I think it would be in the interest of great laughs to share some of the funniest moments you’ve had in the industry, or outside of it. Ideas are, funny exchanges with relatives about your chosen career, awkward fellow workers, etc.

If theres an LOL thread already going, let me know. Ive never seen one.

100 anni di effetti speciali

Bell’idea quella di pubblicare un montaggio video che raggruppa i film più conosciuti con effetti speciali degli ultimi 100 anni.
Si parte del 1900 con The Enchanted Drawing fino ad arrivare al 2008 con Il curioso caso di Benjamin Button.

Il video pubblicato sul sito College Humor è interessante e divertente. Chissà quanto ci evolveremo ancora…

Tra l’elenco dei film menzionati ne mancano sicuramente alcuni, io avrei inserito Il Signore degli Anelli, Harry Potter e 300, voi?

ALEXANDER WANG SHOOTS THE PUMP.

The economic pallor that hung like a pitch black bum out over last September seems to have passed and fashion is thin white dukin it all over town. Alexander Wang rented out a gas station for 1,000 people and had Courtney Love and Santigold on hand to eat snickers and pocket 5hour Energies. Thom Browne turned his highwater business aesthetic into a spaceage sanitation uniform. And so on and so forth until the end of the week. The Great Recession must be winding down!!!!

2d tracking in a 3d space?

HI guys
I was wondering if their is a way to apply a 2d track to a 3d space
let me explain

I have a big panorama let say 8000×3000, i put it on a card and then a 3d scene, a camera, a constant and a scanline render to shoot the panorama in pal (768×576).
I set the constant to 768×576
no problem everithing is fine.

Now i have a plate with a blue screen that i need to track (nodal pan and zoom), i put a track node. The track works very well.
I put a transform node after the scanline render.
I link the tracker to the transform node

It works fine, the image follow the track but….

I have black area around the 768×576, which is normal because, i have set my constant to this value.

Is their a way to avoid this, to see around the scanline render, or to transform my 2d data
in a 3d space and put it on my camera

thx in advance

I put a merge after the scanline render that i connect to the plate.
