I remember seeing the video a while back... and thinking how interesting of a change it would be if someone were to adopt the same visual style in a video game.
(Radiohead vid, not this one)

Do you have an alternate link for the movie? The site is so slow.

Yea, saw the film a while ago. I think it was posted on cgtalk. Really an awesome idea, really creative.

not picked up Killer7 yet then Soul?

I've seen screenshots of Killer7 and I don't like the type of lighting they've chosen. It's this weird hybrid of faceted and cell shading.

Global Illumination is really what makes it work, I think.

I like the cubist tragedy video.. well right up till the end with the piccaso painting infact all after teh mesh smooth was dumb in my opinion, but everyting before it completely entertaining,

the radiohead video i thought was "ok" at best stiff animation, the main model looked like a straight body scan that had had an optimize modifier ran on it, i did injoy the parts where his face reduced polys as he sang but it was just done 2 real quick times, all the videos breaking and falling apart, and reforming as newer ones did not impress me, oh and the guys singing just makes me want to push him in mud

[/ QUOTE ] hahaha, I worked on that game. At Mondo Media we did the cinematics for Activision. The characters didn't have mouths, so we could get away with no lipsynch. That was a fun job.

But I really like the insider-humor of that clip. Something a struggling modeler would get a kick out of.

This is really nicely done. It makes me jealous and want to work on a short.
I notice her fixup kit was called 'Maxa'. I wonder what the makers of a certain 3D app. feel about the underlying connotation of a broken undo? ;-P

hawken

rhinokey: thing is, public isn't as picky as us

Sean McBride

hahahaha oh my god. By modelers, for modelers. Great stuff. I love this.

Michael Knubben

Daz: i actually thought of it as a merging of two products, sort of to nail both of them in one go.

Daz

oh yeah so it is

Rhinokey

what ap only has one level for undo anyways? i was wondering that when i watched this
