My friend Jay posted has a very fancy car but that’s not what this is about today ;-)
Jay posted a really cool video showing his “Lenticular 3d models” on Youtube.
I am not too sure how he does it exactly but that’s really cool. I wonder how this would work with animation…..

3dworld magazine
Following the release of his new book “Realistic Architectural visualization with 3ds max and mental ray”, my friend Jamie Cardoso was asked to write an article about Mental Ray for the january edition of “3d world” (issue 126).
I didn’t get a chance to read it yet but knowing Jamie, this is probably a very thorough article demonstrating the abilities of Mental Ray when used in Visualization.

My ex-classmate Rok Andic posted his great shortfilm online. It is quite refreshing to see an AM shortfilm done with a custom rig and a customized soundtrack. The idea is very original which makes it delightful to watch.
Check it out!

Turf planet
This is just crazy, my friend Ales Mav still hasn’t found a job after nearly one year looking for work in London! I just don’t get this!
For a start Ales is one of those very nice and humble chaps you seldom meet. Ales and I were classmates at AM and he had been one of those rare A+ student from class1 to 6. Several of his shots got featured on the animation mentor showreel, his short film “Daphne’s new broom” got selected and awarded at several festivals, he keeps adding great new shots to his showreel month after month, he won last month 11 seconds club competition and he even started a new shortfilm “Turf Planet” , quitely, by himself.
Please! Give this man a job!!!!!!

Some time ago my friend Sebastien created a 66 pages comic Tintin/Dragons Balls spoof titled “Pinpin et les Estragons balls”. Unfortunately it is only in french but even if you don’t understand the language you might still be seduced by the action and the funny drawings. Here are the first 4 pages

My friend Hichem just posted his short film on internet. If you haven’t seen it yet on the Animation Mentor showreel, have a look!
It’s funny and managed to get few laughs from top Pixar animators during Annecy this year.

I have a real detachement towards music for some reason.
I don’t own any music CDs, MP3 player or even mp3 files. Right or wrong I am blaming this on 10 years of classical music training. Contemporary musicians for me are people like Olivier Messiaen and Pierre Boulez. Those guys really defined the recent trends.
Partner in skateboarding crime when we were kids ( I have to look for some pictures ;-) ). Vincil from Ummo is a good friend of mine which music I enjoy listening to.
If you haven’t heard about him yet then I wonder what you know about electronic music.
His music is the shit man! ;-) Go and enjoy the few tracks he has on his Myspace page. I am hoping to be able to work with him for my next coming short.
