What's New?

24th January 2010

I've just added a reading list for students of computer graphics who wish to improve their visual literacy. The list is composed of books I've found especially useful over the years. The list is here.

I've uploaded a new tutorial on how we light CG in a modern VFX pipeline. I've used some simple examples to show how you can do this yourself if you have a decent digital camera, a tripod and a Christmas tree bauble. The tutorial is here.

I've added an article on how the production pipeline in VFX house works. The idea is to show who does what during each stage of a film's production and to show how each of the departments relates to each other. If you are thinking of applying for work in a large VFX company knowing how it all fits together is probably quite useful. The article is here.

It's taken quite a while but I've finally finished the redesign and updated all the old tutorials and articles to fit into the new scheme. As you can see if you've visited before there are some changes to the menus. Tutorials remains unchanged, though I will be adding a new lighting tutorial soon I hope. I've added an Articles section where I'm going to post pieces of writing often culled from the lectures I've been giving to students over the last few years as well as at Double Negative. The Resources area features scripts I've written and so on. The new Projects page will feature my own personal work featuring short films, interactive art and photography. There's also an RSS feed for the site now which will keep you updated when anything new happens here. Hope you like the new look and the new content as it gets posted.
