Softimage Protest film

[Superpositivo]

I like the idea, Paul!

The Autodesk HQ at the end remembers me something like the monolith from "2001: A Space Odyssey", though...

I also think that the wider public will enjoy watching it, even though they have no interest in 'CGI geeks grumbling about software'
I think it needs to appeal on more than 1 level, and be a celebration of our work too.

Right, I agree with that.

(from Doeke Wartena)

Atm, it's a mess. I need everyone that's on the list to clear his own row. That is, removing the number in front. Fill in your skills, add your email, county and city.
After it is more complete i will send you guys invites to the teamwork project site.


Don't wait to long with filling it in, i will make the document private in a few days. Also i will make a google docs folder for the project by then.


If your not on the list but you want to help then add yourself.

I want to join in, even if it means a single model. How can I do that?

My skills as generalist : Modeling, shading, Rigging and ICE tools, Animation, Rendering(MR only), Compositing.

Where will take place the discussions about the making of this short movie? there shoukd be different sections: story, storyboard, etc.

I have just added myself and my colleague. We both use softimage for few years now (since the 5.0 version).
If he has to input his details himself please let me know. Dusko Bajic and Nenad Cocic (me).

I think this is a great idea and if we can help in a smallest way it would be great.

I am more technical oriented:
3D---modeling, rendering, animation (not so good with characters), little bit of ice, and work as a composite artist in After Effects much longer then in 3D.
He is more creative oriented, primary skill is drawing and illustration (various styles) but have lots of experience using SI also (mostly modeling, texturing, rendering and character animation)

the list is growing with some amazing additions *not me lol ,

Oh, count me in! I can model, rig (using gear) and animate. I'd love to join in. Fair hand at ICE and lighting /rendering. Might have access to Arnold soon. If it's for non commercial purposes. I can talk to the guys at solid.

Is there still anything to be "in" in?
A small progress report or at least an indication this is still going somewhere would be nice... ;)

Im not on leading team but im assigned to help, so i can answer to that^^

Progress so far:

-60+ ppl signed (Only a few are active ).
-Our project is housed on teamwork.com (like a forum connected to email and drive).
-Month ago or so we managed to elect a main scenario.
-We have so far like 25 character posts.
-We created a F.A.Q. To help ppl "get in to the track" faster.
-We focus now in the main body of the shortfilm "where all the threatened 3d chars around the globe wake up, and go to the same place via instinct (or just because they read bad news)".
-We have like 10 small shot proposals that use some of the availiable chars.
-Some ideas are under construction - aprooved with a scenemaster.

-Atm those few, active ppl, work on aprooved shots . That icludess sharing - characters, scenes, assets, knowledje etc.
Also when possible we do some skype meetings. There are ppl that still post, more chars and shot scenarios.

***We will need animators, that can do weights, envelops, rigs, animations, soon.
***We will need ppl that can create artistic enviroments.
***Ppl that can draw concept art are also needed.

The document to sign is still here (sign in the white part under the last guy and wait for an invite):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... _web#gid=0

We need more pationate ppl with more free time. Signatures are only good for petitions, we need action. Dont hop in if you are just one more obzerver. Thanx^^

And thats the end of it cofee is still hot
