Shervin Shoughian from Image Engine did a great demo of their work on District 9. They had some great tricks for image relighting using point geometry. Take a CG position pass (an XYZ render), convert it to point geometry and interactively update lighting effects in your comp by moving lights around in Nuke’s 3D environment.

Any ideas of examples on doing this?

KATIE GALLAGHER SAVES REPUTATION FOR CAT PEOPLE.
Posted in: Anna Sui, Cats, fashion, Gallery, Katie Gallagher, ThreeAsFour
Katie Gallagher, an up and coming fashion designer, sheds new light on cat people by being more than just crazy. When her cat Thomas isn’t perched on her head, the designer is creating a new wave noir look that is far too dark for her feline enthusiasts. Having worked with Anna Sui and ThreeAsFour, her cache of experience and eccentricities might make you think twice about the man wearing a cat on his head seen at Union Square. Check out some flicks of her S/S 2010 collection after the jump.

IN FLAGRANTI’S DISCO UNICORN FETISH FANTASY.
Posted in: Codek Records, Disco, Gallery, In Flagranti, Music
In our pornographic, disco-unicorn-fetish fantasies we actually are In Flagranti. All 9 of us clad in animal skin, powdered like donuts, and baying at a giant disco ball like a turgid pagan moon. But in reality, we have to put on the record and stare at the album cover just like everyone else. Not the worst thing ever, but if somehow we could trade it all in to live out our Never-Ending-Story-meets-Larry-Levan- in-a-pile-of-illicit-substances fantasy and still hold down a life, then you know…..we probably would. Til then, check out In Flagranti’s amazing albums and their covers out on Codek Records.

What do vfx companies do when they have no projects happening? I’ve been listening to a couple of interviews and a guy from Weta said to keep staff on and skills up when there’s no projects happening they get their writers to publish novels based on lotrs and get the sculptures and model makers to produce limited edition sculptures to sell to the fans.
Another company said that they keep their staff on as an R&D team and develop plugin’s for programs.
Good thinking I say. Anyone have any other stories of what companies do to keep on their staff during the lay periods?
Might give me an idea as a freelance nuker twiddling my thumb on what to do to keep my skill sets up while waiting for companies to get projects to happen…:scorching:happydevi
