Animators complain that 2 Oscar nominees (Happy Feet and Monster House) use motion capture technology. Is Mocap is killing animation, or is it the logical heir to rotosco As you all know by now, there are only 3 nominees for Best Animated Feature Film at this year's Oscars, despite a crowded field in 2006. That's because the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) decided that Luc Besson's Arthur and the Minimoys (Arthur and the Invisibles in the U.S.) didn't contain enough animation to qualify for the category. (Quick note: according to AMPAS rules, a movie must have a minimum of 75% animated sequences in order to qualify as an animated film. Some wags wonder why 2003's Lord of the Rings: Return of the King wasn't considered an animated flick, since it had so many CGI sequences and characters.) There is another issue at stake. Several animators claim that, of the three movies that received a coveted Oscar nomination this year (Cars, Happy Feet, and

In this day and age, it seems that technology is taking over the world -- especially in the world of entertainment. The latest technologies aid in writing, producing, and making movies, so much so that entire movies can even be made through interactive media design. As this kind of technology becomes more popular, the number of interactive media design programs being offered in schools throughout the country are virtually multiplying. According to interactive media design professional Douglas Brull, interactive media design entails some sort of design element that one can interact with. "It could go anywhere from a poster to a website to an interactive DVD menu," he says. His alma mater is the Art Institutes International Minnesota, which defines interactive media design as a field that "requires talented people to combine sound, images, text, and animation in order to entertain and educate." The Art Institute also says that interactive media design is a "qu

3D First Person Architectural Visualizations for Interior Designers and Architects. 2D drawings and plans can be difficult to interpret, and seldom provide a clear picture of what a new development will look like. 3D first person visualizations of proposed schemes are a powerful way to communicate more effectively with planning committees, clients, and other stakeholders, providing a reliable, and photo-realistic impression of the proposed or completed development, in the context of its surroundings. Using 3D engine technology allows a first person viewpoint perspective to enable customers individual and full 6 degrees of freedom of movement to explore and experience the development or completed environment.

Still images can't provide a complete picture of what a development is going to be like when it's completed. Computer generated 3D images and animat

3D animation is a more advanced graphical presentation with the help of computer and digital displayers. Animations such as movies, presentations, walk through, cartoon films, television advertisements and web stuff (life on the Web or Internet) became popular after people tasted 3D graphics. In general Multimedia stuff such as 3D Illustration, AV Presentations, Digital Video, 3D Medical & Scientific Animations are very useful in real life application in respective environments. Computer Graphics and Animations 3D computer graphics / animations are different from 2D computer graphics / animations in that a 3D representation of geometric data is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images. The rendered images are used for later display or for real-time viewing. 3D graphics animations show the angle of camera or viewers, virtual shoot of aerial footage and put the virtual reality 3D model into it perfectly so the 3D animation looks absol

Introduction This tutorial quickly runs through the major features of Moho, without going into too much detail. The purpose here is more to give an overview of how Moho works, rather than to teach you how to use any specific features. In this tutorial, we will draw and animate a very simple object. Moho has several groups of tools, used for different types of tasks. Some of these tools are used to create new objects, and others are used to modify and animate existing objects. The basic Moho tool groups are: Draw, Fill, Bone, Layer, Camera, and Workspace. This tutorial introduces a few of the Draw, Fill, and Layer tools, while the following tutorials focus specifically on each of the tool groups. Drawing a Simple Shape Launch Moho by double-clicking the Moho icon, or selecting the Moho shortcut in the Start menu (Windows). When you create a new Moho project, the application starts off looking something like this: Select the Oval tool by clicking on it in the toolbar. In the tool options

Few people now some of the newer terms used in Internet protocol request and guides. CGI is one of the largest culprits. CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface and deals directly with how and why a website is displayed. CGI acts as a means for the server where the website is stored to more readily find and display the website. Compared to the HTTPD format that is far more common, CGI is faster and more reliable in every way. CGI uses smarter technology to bridge the gap between the server and someone trying to access a page. This gap has to do with the way the information is sent back and fourth to properly display the page. CGI acts as a single entity reaching out for the information. While HTTPD sends out several signals that bounce from place to place until the server is located. This is a very random way of locating websites and is the most common reason that a Cannot Find Server message is displayed. There may not be anything wrong with the server or the website itself, but the H
