3D Gaming: Decide for yourself

Apparently, this article may have been based on fictitious negative comments as part of an industry battle. If anyone wants to send us one, we'll test it out and report back!

Paper cut-out animation

Here is an awesome example of paper cut-out animation. This might be a great inspiration for some of our animators here at the Media Arts Lab; specifically, the idea of using joints on characters as a way to simplify motion animation.

3D Lens

I'm a huge fan of the idea of 3D images and movies, but I recognize that 3D in its current form is a sensational gimmick (that opinion does not reflect the views of the Jacob Burns Film Center Media Arts Lab). At Ohio State University, researchers have developed a single lens that allows for 3D capture.

Guillermo del Toro

Guillermo del Toro, (Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy) is doing a new video game called inSANE

This will be part of a 3 game horror series. Im very excited to see a game which should have incredible visual style.

I just hope it will be fun to play.

A.I.

This is part of my scary series, the first was the robots that move things in the warehouse. This one is about robots who can have lifelike skin that can detect chemicals and feelings.

Oh yeah, and it can also absorb solar power.


Hey Russ... your epidermis is showing.
