SynthEyes 1212 adds multiple camera views


Andersson Technologies has released SynthEyes 1212, the latest update to its affordable camera-tracking software, adding support for multiple camera views.
(Actually, the update was released last week, but had passed us by until it popped up on MaxUnderground.)
Although the developer has been pumping out an update roughly every month of late, this looks to be a pretty significant one: as well as multi-camera support – which will obviously be of interest to anyone using SynthEyes for stereoscopic work – SynthEyes 1212 includes new features for forcibly straightening dolly moves, checking camera paths, and importing Lidar data.
Disk caching has also been improved, enabling large stereo shots to be brought over a studio’s network onto a faster local drive. According to the news release: “Both stereo images can be examined and tracked at once, and both sets of trackers monitored simultaneously with SynthEyes’s exclusive SimulTrack windows.”
SynthEyes 1212 is available now for Windows and OS X. The regular Pro edition of the software costs $599, and a cross-platform version, $699. An Intro version of the software, which lacks stereo support, costs $399.

Review: Dell Precision T5600 workstation


Core specifications

The T5600 is a dual-socket system supporting all of Intel’s latest Xeon E5 four, six and eight-core CPUs, thereby permitting configurations running between four and 16 cores. (For a discussion of the impact of multi-core processing on the CG industry, check out ‘The increasing core count’ in my review of the HP Z820.) It sports quad-channel memory per CPU and has eight memory slots, and can thus support up to 32GB of RAM if using unbuffered DIMMs, or 128GB of RAM if using 16GB registered DIMMs. Continue reading at CG Channel.

Carapace: Using Trace Lines



Epic Games has released Carapace, a neat little free tool for generating perspective grids.
Carapace enables users to create one, two and three-point perspective grids with simple clicking and dragging. The grids, which can support up to nine vanishing points, can then be pasted into Photoshop for use as guides.
The tool can also be used to create grids for existing reference images, by drawing trace lines on screen.
A pet project
Carapace was created by Senior Environment Artist Warren Marshall as part of the company’s ‘Epic Friday’ sessions. The monthly events enable artists to take a break from their regular jobs to work on pet projects.
Carapace is available now, for Windows only. You’ll need the .NET 4.0 framework installed to use it.

VIEW Conference annuncia il Game Design Bootcamp con JOSH HOLMES, Direttore Creativo di HALO 4


Mercoledì 17 ottobre presso Centro Congressi Torino Incontra, via Nino Costa 8, Torino

Costo: 100 €

Posti limitati per 30 partecipanti!!!


Presentazione:

Nel corso della giornata i partecipanti analizzeranno il processo di progettazione, costruzione e lancio di un gioco. Ogni squadra dovrà progettare un gioco di tipo convenzionale (un gioco di carte, un gioco da tavolo, ecc.) che possa essere giocato in meno di 15 minuti da un gruppo di massimo 5 giocatori. I giochi dovranno essere costruiti utilizzando i materiali forniti e dovranno seguire alcune semplici regole. Come avviene per ogni produzione, ci saranno senz’altro una serie di eventi inaspettati, con cui i partecipanti dovranno fare i conti. Una volta che la produzione sarà stata terminata, ciascuna squadra lancerà il suo gioco all’intero gruppo e seguirà una sessione di gioco in cui ciascuna squadra testerà i giochi ideati dagli altri. Ci saranno diversi vincitori – e conseguentemente diversi premi – per diversi tipi di categorie. Questo lavoro è fondamentale per comprendere l’importanza della collaborazione e di una veloce prototipazione nello sviluppo di un gioco, così come la necessità di adattarsi rapidamente a eventi imprevisti.

Categorie dei premi:

- Miglior lancio – alla squadra che avrà lanciato meglio il suo gioco (scelta dai voti dei gruppi);

- Gioco più innovativo – al gioco che presenta il concetto o i meccanismi più originali (scelto dai voti dei gruppi);

- People’s Choice – Miglior gioco in assoluto (scelto dai voti dei gruppi);

-  Editor’s Choice – Miglior gioco in assoluto (scelto dall’istruttore).

Ogni vincitore riceverà un trofeo e un premio speciale “Halo 4”.

to present exclusive footage of “Hotel Transylvania”

The VIEW Conference is proud to announce that award winning director Genndy Tartakovsky (“Dexter’s Laboratory,” “Samurai Jack,” “Star Wars: Clone Wars”) will present and discuss his feature film debut, Sony Pictures Animation’s 3D monster comedy Hotel Transylvania, for the first time in Italy during the 2012 conference, October 16 to 19 in Turin, Italy.
Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula’s lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free to be the monsters they are without humans to bother them. On one special weekend, Dracula has invited some of the world’s most famous monsters — Frankenstein and his wife, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more — to celebrate his daughter Mavis’ 118th birthday. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem — but his world could come crashing down when a human stumbles on the hotel for the first time and takes a shine to Mavis.
