So much is going on in the way of real time interactive software and animations that I find just trying to get a good understanding of all the possibilities inherent in the many programs on the market is daunting. As a freelance 3d artist/visual poet working with different companies, understanding the technology is important to [...]

However; one my most recent assertions is that the devices (e.g. Consoles, PCs, Macs, etc) which used to historically be considered a “Platform” are far less so today. The real platform has become the Cloud and the Clouds associated services. As a result.. I’m going to be [...]

(alt title: Steve Jobs: the ultimate disrupting force in technology) I'm sure most of us have heard or read the news. I'm sure there are likely a million blogs or more talking about Steve Jobs passing. However; I'd like to add to them and make it just one more. Even if I am number 1,000,001. [...]

I see these kinds of phrases crop up from time to time and have to sit back for a moment in ‘shock and awe’. I read all kinds of slogans like this while driving, or cruising the internet; but as of late this particular one has been gnawing at me for awhile. The problem with [...]

The short yet rapidly innovative history of the film industry is full of stories about how many directors first explored film-making.

Those storytellers saw beyond the limits of what [...]

Like the snow material; while working on the game I needed a new material for one of the levels.  I wated crusted lava, but the one that comes with 3DS Max looks more like diseased alien skin than lava.  I wanted a hot cracked look.  So with the help of some online information, some slabs [...]
