Framestore’s Deathly Hallows animation

The crucial origin of the ‘Deathly Hallows’ is told inside the latest Harry Potter film via a three minute animated sequence directed by Ben Hibon and created by Framestore. In it, we learn of the story of the Three Brothers and their encounter with Death. Here’s my inteview at fxguide with Framestore sequence supervisor Dale Newton.

python panel list

I would like to create a list knob in a panel.
I am using the nukescripts.PythonPanel Class; Looking in the python api doc I found most knob type but none is doing what I want.

I would like to have a list similar to the file list in file open/save the browser where I can multi-select elements.

Thanks

Digital Domain Holdings acquires In-Three

Digital Domain Holdings acquires In-Three
Nov 19, 2010
Digital Domain Holdings reached an agreement to acquire 3D stereo studio In-Three, Inc., developer of the Dimensionalization® process that converts 2D films into high quality, 3D stereo imagery.

Digital Domain Holdings CEO John Textor said, "In-Three has been a pioneer in the research and development of stereoscopic technology. This partnership adds large-scale production to In-Three’s world-class technology, while creating new jobs in the state of Florida."

Digital Domain studios in California and Vancouver recently completed production on Walt Disney Studios’ TRON: Legacy, which was generated and produced in stereoscopic 3D. In-Three completed 3D stereo work on Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, which grossed over $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

The In-Three team will be based out of Digital Domain Holdings’ headquarters in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

Metal Flakes – Vray

Anyone know a good way of creating realistic metal flakes in a vray shader. Basically metallic car paint. I have a pretty good layered vray material for car paint, I just need to add a flake layer and Im not sure how to approach.

Thanks!

Film Reel Nov 2010

Hi guys,

I had a week off, and got bored and updated my reel. 🙂

It now includes work from:
Narnia
Robin Hood
Kick Ass
Fantastic Mr Fox
Where the Wild Things Are

I need a tiny bit of feedback about one shot though.
The Robin Hood boat shot, I feel it might be a bit too long.
I didn’t comp the cg, but I had to replace the fronts on the main boats because of lens flares (pretty tricky).
So should I just leave out the Final Comp part (it’s also not great quality) and just show the breakdown of removing the lens flares?
What do you guys think?
Thanks.

Safety at the screen

I know this is seen as a really dull subject… but it is very important and commonly overlooked. I have been on a course for 2 years now (spending most of my time starring at the screen) and the effects are starting to take their toll!
I would really appreciate any insight into realistic health & safety practices which occur in the workplace… I can’t imagine everyone has a rest every 30mins?!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers
