December 18th? That's my Bday ^^
thanks
what course in college that specialized in this kind of job?
FUCK! i cant wait for this Avatar movie. December 18 baby!
It's kinda extraordinary to believe that Avatar was released 5 years ago…
in fact Avatar used Lightwave 3D for it's production
where do i buy a virtual camera?
All I can say is technology like this is freakin brilliant.
Great Inspiration.
HOLY CAWH! That's insane! I was thinking 2011, or 12.
yes
autodesk made 3ds max…..?
Those students sitting in their desks, if only they knew how amazing this movie would be XD
Wait… Avatar is made from 3Ds Max
good and nice software
An autodesk university?
Weta Digital are badass
Wow OMG
I am always so amazed when i watch this video at how far technology has come. I use Maya to make silly cartoons but this is stuff is just fantastic way out my capabilities
great stuff. .
pretty good, for example the movie 2012 was made with 3d max
This technology is just awesome.
wat
CGI ^^, but the movement are perfomed by real actor
and my friend works at disney so i put that as my profile picture as a joke 😛
well it would be my friend if it would let me owned the things i made
and didn't charge over 1000 dollars for each addon. i don't like gold diggers
Because you're looking at the unrendered version of the animation in the software, like at 4:48. 3D/CGI software has to calculate all of the lighting & shading, textureing, ambient occlusion settings in the scene and the software cant do this in realtime during the animating process, so these shots you're seeing havent been fully rendered yet.
no i believe in opensource… because you can do what you want there are no rules on there software and they don't own every thing you make… so im not wasting my money on things i can get for free 😉
BOOOOO YOU SUCK AUTODESK
Holy cow does time fly……Avatar was released in 2009.
It's funny he mentions titanic and the academy award… the key product used on that was LightWave. Avatar's previs and VAD was done in LightWave.
Still not the point… My computer is still not nearly powerful enough; Its not just multi-core processing. My measly i5 can barely handle Maya dynamics
the one you see is the low poly character. so that it could render in real time. after that there will increase the polys for more detail character that you see on TV. i am a 3d artist my self.
