Bruno 的 Utah Teapot 文章

Bruno 最近寫了一篇關於他在 SIGGRAPH 2008,自 Pixar 那排隊拿到的 Walking Teapot 的文章,建議去瞧瞧。

重點是,他拍得照片挺漂亮的 :)

PS. 今年我好像沒有拿到 Pixar 會場發的 walking teapot,雖然有那麼點兒小遺憾,不過這種東西,有就是運氣好,沒有其實也不會怎麼樣,就只好期待下次囉~~

鹿橋山莊之「與大師有約」

原來預計這個週六要參加鎧尹發起的讀書會,突如其來的 CG Professor Retreat,把行程整個打亂了。由陳炳宇教授與 Phoebe 主辦,以休閒聚會為名,邀請了台灣的圖學教授們,一同聚集在鹿橋山莊,由太極的黃董來作客。我們這一匹國防役(八位)也被抓過去參加。

颱風天,為期二天一夜。

鹿橋山莊位處偏僻的小山丘,入口處是條極其窄的小路,就像回鄉下老奶奶家會經過的路一樣,彎彎曲曲,小巷子兩旁不時有樹枝叉出來,滿地落葉的羊腸小徑。喔…就是羊腸小徑,這個突然想到的詞兒,非常的貼切。

來了很多位教授,即使是在這麼一個颱風天。我運氣非常的好,因為歐陽明教授的徒子徒孫在台灣圖學界不少,所以有不少位教授都是我的學長,所以我自然地就可以融入交談,或至少不會怕生,敢與他們同坐聊天。事實上呢,我非常喜歡我這樣的一個態度。我是這麼想的,如果我自己是一位年長的長輩或教授,我一定非常希望小夥子們可以非常自然地和我聊天,不要因為我年紀大而不敢,因為不過就是聊天嘛,能和不同年紀,不同背景,不同的生長背景的人,自在的聊天,是件多麼讚的事 。

同時也見到了阿茂與小黃他們倆的指導教授,還真的是非常安靜的一位教授吶,李教授真的和傳言一樣,是一位不擅長社交的教授,不過他是一位好教授,這件事實並不會因為不擅長社交而有所影響。

聽教授們聊『教授一職的升遷制度』,才體認到教授真是不好當呀。助理教授,副教授,正教授,還有特聘教授與終身特聘。然後還有所謂的每幾年就來個評比,評比不過的話,得被叫去約談。然後呢…很菜的教授,就得被抓去開一些必修課,像是「作業系統」或是「組合語言」這種,根本不是你專攻的課程,也是得硬著頭皮去開課…教授一職挺不容易的吶。不過好像也挺好玩的就是了 :)

雖然在行前就被通知,我們這群人要代表太極影音,給個正式但輕鬆的 talk,分享我們在太極做了些什麼,遇到了些什麼問題,然後進而拋出一些可以產學合作的研究來。因為大家實在太隨興了,所以就免啦。對於還沒準備好的我來說,實在是個好消息吶。不過我非常開心,可以在這個時候和阿茂聊聊一些 rendering / lighting 的事,得知他在 lighting 部門看到的問題與想法,十足珍貴。我們雖然閒聊了一下,沒有什麼明確的結論出來,不過我隱約覺得,未來我們就會有某種不錯的解決方案出來。

「與大師有約」,同時也是我們這八位國防役的一次一同出遊,雖然沒做到什麼事,也沒有玩到小黃專程帶下去的 Wii,更沒有在那邊過夜,喝酒配下酒菜,不過呢!!!誰說不可以有下次這類的活動的? 就來自太極出遊不就行了?

啊…如果有個康樂股長就好了~

又見 3D 軟體的比較

今年(2007)五月,我寫了一篇常見 3D 軟體的比較,那是一篇原文刊登在 CGSociety 的 CGWiki 上頭的文章,換句話說,那是一篇集眾人之力(Wiki 嘛),合寫出來的比較清單,也因為這樣,它一直持續有所更新,像是距離我上次看,又新增了 TruespaceSilo,而且很多小地方也有所更動。說不上這一些更動都是正面或正確的,因為不乏會有對某個軟體的狂熱份子出現,或是某個軟體在這個 wiki 上的活躍人口遠大於其它軟體,就會產生某種程度上的偏頗。

3D applications 2007 comparisons table by Benoît Saint-Moulin在前幾天,上 wikipedia 看一些 3D 軟體的發展歷史時(ex, Maya, Softimage, Blender),發現到了在  TDT3D 上頭的一篇 3D applications 2007 comparisons table。這是一篇由一個人,目前是一位教授 3D 軟體的講師,過去十年來都在 CG 產業打滾,列表上的軟體清單都是自己用了很久,且在近 12 個月來,一一安裝最新的版本,然後在每個軟體上頭做同樣的事情與測試,才產生出來的一篇文章。個人覺得更有看頭,不失為另一份可以拿來參考的好文章。

看 CGTalk 上的 Renderman for Maya 對上 Mental Ray

Advanced RenderMan @ 博客來Rendering with Mental Ray @ 博客來工作上的需求,google 了好一陣子,想看看有沒有人利用 Renderman 做出很棒的插畫風格,結果連結到 在 CGTalk 上看到一則 Renderman for Maya VS. Mental Ray 的討論串
