most distinguished years for technology and production
announcements. My hat goes off to anyone who works in
this industry, as we're in it to make magic - digital
that is. Many thanks and congratulations to the studios,
artists, and partners who have contributed to keeping
the heroes in the skies and the planet from actually
blowing up, again... Best wishes to all and happy

Parasol Island,
30 days of work in 30 seconds. 14 full-CG shots.
"Numerous
smart compositing solutions, pipeline tools, and new
techniques developed for eyeon Fusion.
V-Ray
rendering and hardcore multipass compositing using only
native tools and macros, no plugins.
All the
volumetric effects were done in Fusion 6.3 in a fraction
of the time that any other 3D software would have
required!"
Cheers,

 Digital Media World Takes
eyeon Deeper
eyeon
Fusion 6.3 has new deep image volume tools for
controlling light and volumes. Fusion
supports AJA Kona 3G playback in 4K, and has tools
to help compositors working on distorted images
and mismatched stereo images.
Adjusting
3D scenes within Fusion's real time deep volume
system and integrating the volumes directly into
images with the World Position Pass tool are new
ways to control light samples, scattering,
asymmetry, and density. The volumes can be
generated inside Fusion or imported via
EXR.

Sponsoring The Renderosity Holiday
Dream Contest Remember lying
in bed as a child anticipating Santa's arrival?
With your excitement reaching a fever pitch, it
seemed nearly impossible to fall asleep. After
hours of stirring in your bed, you finally drift
away and dream of what awaits under your tree. You
ponder the past year - "Have I been naughty or
nice? Did Santa bring me what I
asked?"
As we get older, the holiday
may take on a different meaning for each of
us but it's still easy for us all to reach
deep into ourselves and once again dream like a
child.
What does a Holiday Dream
look like to you? Interpret it through
art.
eyeon
is sponsoring the contest, once again, with a
license of Fusion! Visit the Renderosity website
to read more about the contest details here.

 eyeon 'Faces Off' with
Breaking Bad: The End Of Gus
In
'Face Off', the final season four episode of AMC's
Breaking Bad, the notorious Gus character meets
his gruesome end via a homemade bomb detonated
inside a nursing home. Gus' death is revealed in a
single shot, showing first the explosion and then
actor Giancarlo Esposito's disfigured face, before
he collapses. Visual effects supervisor and
producer William Powloski of Velocity FX takes us
through the practical and digital work for the
stunning shot.
The
model was built in Lightwave, using Boujou
for tracking. The 3D components of the shot were
composited in Fusion.

 Virtually
Recreating Elizabethan London for
Anonymous
"When
you do something in 3D, you can never see it in
real time," Weigert suggests. "You have to wait
for the picture to render, then you have to wait
for all the frames to render to then put it into
comp and then to see the results. So we tried to
move away from that and do as much as we could
with projection techniques in Fusion, which was
the software of choice for this project. And we
together worked with eyeon to develop new tools,
one of which was full 3D water inside Fusion,
so we had almost real time feedback on our water
of the River Thames; we did 3D backgrounds with
projected images must faster. For instance, we'd
only render a still frame in the 3D package and
then re-projected that in Fusion. And we'd use
that and add camera moves."

 Stuff we
love...Line
'Line'
is a full CG student short film created by
Laurianne Proud'hon and Ludovic Ramisandraina for
their master thesis graduation in Arts et
Technologies de l'Image, at university Paris
8.
The
foot (at 00:46) is the only live action element of
their short film. The goal was to suggest human
presence through offscreen and sound design
work.
Laurianne
and Ludovic completed 99% of this film in CG using
primarily Fusion and Maya.
See
the finished project here. Congratulations!
