admin 19 03 07

Can’t afford a Cintiq? Get a DS and this amazing software that allows you to draw (ala photoshop with a tablet minus the pressure sensitivity). There is still no news of a commercial release for this software so keep your fingers crossed. Imagine sketching on the go with this!

3d morphable model face animation | youtube

admin 7 02 07

Amazing what technology can do these days. This video pretty much sums up where photorealism in CG is heading towards to. The question you can start asking, will there be a need for CG modelers to model photorealistic human models? Already, scanning human actors/actresses is a common thing in the film industry.

Extremely interesting indeed, just imagine what kind of impact this will have in the CG and film industry, even games as well. For more info on this new technology, head over to Volker Blanz’s website.

Topogun

admin 2 01 07

Check out this topology software, aptly named Topogun, it’s still in beta though. Nonetheless, take a look at some of the videos there, this piece of software might speed up existing character workflows a tad bit, especially in games production. Here’s a short description from the site:

TopoGun is a specialized retopologizing application. It contains two main modules: TopoGun:3D and TopoGun:2D.
You can import highres scanned models or just any other 3D model you wish to retopologize in TopoGun:3D and create a lores to midres animation ready mesh. TopoGun:2D handles the dispmap, normalmap and ambient occlusion map creation. Furthermore, you can divide the TopoGun:3D midres mesh in TopoGun:2D and “conform” it on your original highres model, recovering the full range of high frequency detail you initially had.
Another cool feature TopoGun:2D has is
the texture transfer from the highres model to the retopologized mesh.
