Hi Nick,

that looks fantastic! The Neanderthal head is quite shuddersome...
the eyes have that 'follow you around the room' quality. If he started talking, I think I'd probably run away screaming.

Is that Oren Nayar and Naki?

So when are we going to start up that Toronto user-group? ;)

This is really cool! I am trying it out myself. Still encountering some problems with getting the table to integrate into the background more....
This is good fun :)

[Shademaster]

I fiddled with the settings some more and achieved a seamless blend into the background with these material settings for the table mat:

I really like this! I think I am going to do some sort of animation with a character walking over the table or something :), this is one of the reasons you learn CG, to let people see you can 'make it real' . :buttrock:

Holy Crap!!!
That is looking frikken awesome. I love the animation idea and can't wait to see it.

Actually, I meant to set it to Oren-Nayer, but its phong...

And yes, thats good-old Naki; good SLA-spotting!

Thanks for posting the c4d file, Chris. It made getting going much easier!

Yes, we should start a C4D user group in TO. I could even host it at U. of T...

I see from your email that you are working for Bruce Mau now: Cool! Did you have anything to do with the hoardings at the MaRS construction site? I heard they were a Mau project, and i walk by it every day...

If you happen to be at Siggraph this year, I'm giving a presentation that includes use of C4D in a visualization context:

Best,

Hey Nick

That would be fantastic... I studied at UofT (I even considered applying for the BMed Comm program!!) and now I jog through University College to Queen's park in the morning. I have a small apartment on Oxford St., just outside of Kensington market.

heh :p thanks!
I have been with BMD for a couple years now. So far it has been an amazing, exhilarating, and totally exhausting experience. I worked on the hoarding with a female co-worker... the final art
for that thing weighed in at 30GB! It is going to be a really wonderful space.

EMOCAP... that sounds very interesting. Are you and your colleagues doing all of this in Cinema, or is there a lot of proprietary code as well? Unfortunately I am not attending SIG this year :( Will you be conducting any lectures in T.O? I'd love to audit!
