In terms of Gee whiz stuff, Some of the best stuff I have seen recently
is the tracking of human models, wired to Onyx, that allows for real time
caricature movement of a Shaded 3-D Object. Soon, imagine rendering
complex 3-D creatures and producing naturalistic motions by allowing a
dancer/actor to input movement in real time. Prehaps the son of the
Raptor, (the Brontosauraus), will allow realtime throughput for a variety
of uses…simulations, games, Special Effects. What better input for
motion can you have than the real thing? Great article in New Media this
month…"Hollywood Production Digital Style" Put the biz in great
perspective. Amiga/Toaster touted as the Can Do machine. GREAT Pic of
Conti's new series Hercules with an Aqua-Nymph. The concepts about real
time motion capture are explained well,too.
