#Add depth …
The quality on film is good enough for Sony Pictures to be using 3DS for over 4
MINUTES of on-screen animation in William Gibson's first film… "Johnny
Mnemonic" starring Keonu Reeves. They're rendering to 1600 horizontal lines of
resolution and using a gausian interpolation technique (the same one used in
Jurrasic Park) to blow it up before printing to 35mm film.
BTW, they chose 3DS to do this over Alias w/Renderman because they felt the 3DS
output was comparable to Rman but with MUCH faster rendering time.
The film will be released for Thanksgiving.
