Hello,Here i am sharing with you the commercial project file, lets check out it may help you in max lighting.
Michael has been involved with visual effects since he was a young boy, when he created his first miniature shot – a still of a rocket to the moon – in the hallway of his parents’ home. He continued experimenting with photography and effects of all sorts until his college years – building projectors, remote camera systems, and experimenting with pyrotechnics (until his ability was outstripped by the explosive power of his concoctions and he wisely left further research to others).
Michael received a Bachelor’s degree in Business from California State University, Northridge, in 1966, and was promptly drafted into the Army. Following the Army, he worked as an investment manager in San Francisco. Michael then took a leave of absence to attend the Art Institute of San Francisco, receiving a B.A. in 1973. In 1975, after moving to Los Angeles, he received an M.F.A. from the California Institute of the Arts.
Michael began working in film on "China Syndrome" in 1977 to support his fine arts career. He was seduced by the film business in short order, finding in it a perfect environment for his creative side. He "cut his eye teeth" on films such as "Star Trek the Motion Picture" and "Bladerunner" before becoming a Visual Effects Supervisor.
INTERVIEW
Illuminate Hollywood 3D is a wholly owned company of Illuminate Hollywood, the leader in innovative technology services for film, television and advertising production and is focused on helping clients convert their productions to 3D. Illuminate 3D has successfully developed "front to back" digital 3D solutions for stereoscopic productions. Illuminate 3D offers 2D to 3D conversion, stereo3D finishing, full post production for stereoscopic titles, stereoscopic CGI effects, titles and motion graphics, 3D CGI modeling and animation, matte painting, motion tracking, rotoscoping and image stabilization services.
"When launching the new division of Illuminate Hollywood we wanted to hit the ground running with applications that work out of the box but are also flexible enough to integrate with our custom software," said Ron Sabatino, VP Head of Production at Illuminate Hollywood 3D.
Illuminate Hollywood 3D was setting up a 2D to 3D conversion facility with a known toolset of applications including Nuke, Maya and Fusion. When looking for a render management solution the main challenge was to find a system that had a mature and flexible python api.
I have worked with several other commercially available render managers and wanted a solution that was robust enough to quickly fulfill our current pipeline needs, said Chris Reid, Lead Pipeline Developer at Illuminate Hollywood 3D. I needed something that could grow and change as we grow and change, our choice had to seamlessly integrate with our in-house libraries and give the ability to create our own jobtypes and custom submissions as necessary. From experience I wanted something database driven and completely accessible by command line.
Being a pipeline developer, you know that you are always going to have to grow your tool set, continued Reid. So flexibility and the API were the most important things for me, but we also wanted a render manager that had a GUI interface that was usable by our artists. Something simple but robust enough for them to get the information they need easily. Qube! had all of those things right out of the box."
"Support from PipelineFX has been amazing, really the best ever for me," added Reid. "Responses to cases have been almost instantaneous. I’ll just throw something out there if I can’t find it quickly in the docs and someone will send me a couple lines of command line or something that I need right away. I’d definitely say PipelineFX support is top notch."
"Stereo work is taking the industry by storm and we are proud to be the render management platform of choice for the leaders in 2D/3D conversion," said Richard Lewis, CEO of PipelineFX. "Illuminate Hollywood 3D is building a flexible, high-performance pipeline and we are excited to be working with them as they grow their stereo conversion business."

Eningen, Germany – Feb 10, 2010 – Trinigy, an industry leading 3D game engine provider with offices in Germany, Austin, TX and Seoul, Korea, today announced that it has launched a new corporate strategy called “Vision on the Go” to support the development of games that can be played on the go. The new strategy will drive Trinigy’s development of mobile- and handheld-specific versions of its Vision Game Engine, as well as advance its WebVision technology for browser-based gaming. Trinigy will officially put the strategy into action at GDC 2011, where it will publicly display browser-based games built with WebVision, as well as privately demonstrate prototypes of games built for iOS and another soon-to-be-announced handheld gaming device.
Engineered for modularity and cross-platform performance, the Vision Engine’s mature technology has already been used to create graphically immersive 3D games on most major gaming platforms, including Windows® (DX9-11), Xbox360®, PlayStation®3, Nintendo Wii™, XBLA™, PSN™ and WiiWare™.
The new strategy – which unofficially began with the launch of Trinigy’s WebVision technology for browser-based game development last summer – now extends that same mature, flexible technology to developers working on games for smartphones, tablets and handheld devices. Development has already begun on an iOS version of the Vision Game Engine, as well as a version that supports a soon-to-be-announced handheld device.
“We’ve always believed that technology should enhance, not hinder, creativity in game making, which is why we’ve built such a modular, cross-platform technology,” said Felix Roeken, general manager at Trinigy. “Our mobile strategy is designed to offer developers of browser-based, mobile and handheld games the same performance, the same flexibility – the same limitless freedom – our technology and support provide to PC game and console game developers.”
To check out Trinigy’s WebVision, including games created with the technology, stop by the Trinigy booth at GDC (booth 1810). To schedule a private demonstration of the Vision Game Engine for mobile and handheld devices at GDC 2011, or to find out more information, contact sales@trinigy.net.
