However; there are several things that have occurred over the past few years that have led up to my position here that I’d like to share with everyone. You can then draw your own conclusions. I almost titled this: Why – we need you for [...]

Tremendous changes has been “unleashed” in the $60 billion gaming industry over the past few years. The players, the games, the business models, the game delivery mechanisms, the platforms, the market size, and the way players interact with games have all changed. And through it all, the PC -- the most open and innovative of all the gaming platforms – is experiencing a renaissance, as the platform of choice for developers who wish to better control their own destinies.

Imagine you are placed in an animated movie production environment where multiple applications run concurrently to solve a problem, and each application is using fork-join process parallelism during its run. You are asked why the overall run is not scaling well with the number of cores on the system! Clearly, at this point understanding system [...]

This year Caltech hosted the Humanity+ conference. I had been given a press pass to attend, but for a variety of reasons, plus perhaps a bit of stay at home fever on my part I chose to send my avator to the conference instead, no, actually I streamed it instead. I sat transfixed in front [...]

Lately I’ve been contemplating the best way to approach the generation of what you might think of as “AI assets” – that is, the data that makes your AI tick (whatever that might be). It seems to me that a similar debate exists in the animation community...

I have been a user of 3DS Max since the DOS version when it was called 3D Studio. Now that we have purchased the 2011 version I would like to add my two cents to the 3D modeling world regarding 3DS Max 2011. The more I use the new version the happier I am, however [...]

When I went to what seemed like a much smaller Siggraph this year, (but that is another blog) a number of people were talking about the film/entertainment industry here in California and how industry jobs have been leaving for other states and countries for a variety of reasons.
