More and more info is cropping up what no doubt is going to be one of the most interesting movies of the year – for us geeks, anyway. not only did another trailer for Tron:Legacy emerge last week, but today I also stumbled upon some bits from the film’s score. Composed by Daft Punk, it […]
Adobe + WordPress = Alliance of Evil
Doesn’t anyone else think it’s weird, that a company that makes a good deal of money by selling software for creating web stuff, seems to have no clue on how to maintain their own pages? I mean, we all know that it’s a colorful patchwork of thrown together sub-systems and most of us by now […]
SIGGRAPH Madness – Day Two – not so mad
Mmh, this second day doesn’t really offer any exciting news, but I’ve got to write something, so let’s see what we have. First, SideFX now officially presented Houdini 11. Considering that they had an announcement already almost 2 months ago, the Wow-factor isn’t that great. I also wasn’t particularly convinced by their sample videos, but […]
SIGGRAPH Madness – Day One
It’s that time of year again… Everybody is going to SIGGRAPH and pushing out new versions of their 3D software and users have to decide which way to go. That has been getting more difficult from year to year in the past already with prices dropping and even "small" programs becoming so feature reach that […]
Tons of Info in just 1.3 MegaBytes
Today’s again one of those wonderful days when the After Effects Error Code Database gets an update. Yepp, I’ve added a few more of those buggers and amazingly enough there’s always something new and unseen coming up. I have also straightened out most posts that were containing specific information on directories to point to the […]
Weep for the Future, Na’ Toth!*
*"Babylon 5", season 2, ep. 2 "Revelations" G’Kar (played by the unforgettable Andreas Katsulas who died much too soon…) would probably say something similar, if he would be confronted with the current state of the motion design industry. The level of ignorance, stupidity and laziness of some young kids is just as scary as seeing […]
Everything is new at Le Cirque…
Just an accidental find this afternoon: Le Cirque du Soleil has a completely restructured website! While the design idea of the "infinite arena"/ white room is a bit dated, and certainly it’s not the most fancy use of Flash and JavaScript, it has resolved one of the biggest problems of the old site: There was […]
Points of Departure/ Revelations
In the good old times, when we still had VHS tapes and the Internet was in its infancy, I actually went to some local comic book and collectibles shop to pick up my Babylon 5 cassettes they imported from Great Britain. I always got sweaty hands taking my newly acquired treasures home, including the one […]
Warp 3.0
As hinted yesterday, things are looking okay with WordPress 3.0, so I decided to take the plunge and updated this blog to this new and shiny version. After 2 years, I have also decided to allow comments, so people can fire back. I just hope that doesn’t mean I will be drowning in spam and […]
3 times scary….
As I’ve written in some past ramblings, WordPress always scares me with how odd and insensible some things are actually structured in the underlying code that also drives this blog. This always makes my knees all wobbly when a new version comes out and I need to update. There’s always the chance that some new […]
