I dont rate all movies as bad, but there are obviously bad ones. I dont rate
audiences as brain dead either.
When I think of what Bergman was doing with his output .... but in these
days of increasing population densities the force for mass standardisation
as opposed to individual creativity is huge. One only has to think of ECM's
sole charge director ... bringing entirely massive music because the money
trusted him to pick winners ... and for the most part he did. This is very
rare. Money prefers to play it safe and trusts committees ahead of genius
... and so there is zero impact, zero flare, total "recipe" .... being
produced for the most part.
Certainly the graphic power available today in CG is a total Renasance in
terms of people lifting the bar. And it's happening. And there is a trickle
down with the best being reworked by the least to lift the acts all round.
I dont agree that Schools destroy minds. In fact quite the opposite and am
sorry for any who feel they would have been better served by not attending.
For me my Art Schooling was a period that included art .... and I hold very
little higher. But it is trendy to denegrate ones teachers, futile, sad but
the knee jerk reaction for many.
Good luck with whatever you do Jean-Sebastien. In these days of freedom it
is not necessary that you do a masterpiece in this or that genre. If your
effort, your enjoyment is the programming for your software then you are a
very lucky person since you have found something that has taken your heart
and soul. Many dont ever find such a treasure for themselves.
I'm not sure about my own movie. My main work is quantum reality with regard
to visual awareness but I am not sure that I will publish. Of course my love
is CG ... the more I work with RealSoft the more fun it becomes for me.

Funny.
Yes most movies lack talent and genius, maybe to match their brain dead
audience.
Maybe the only explanation for the lack of good 3D animation is "3D
school that pretend to teach about 3D".
It is a known fact that school destroy the mind, imagination and the
ability to think differently.
Maybe 3D cg school is the problem, no more genius like Todd Rundgren.
My excuse for not doing anything interesting is : I have been working on
my sofware for 4 years.
After it is done, I hope my 3 animation projects will be completed as
fast as possible (no more excuses).
-Trapped inside my head (being trapped inside a nightmare) 12minutes
-Soleil perdu (thrill ride in a techno-greek-water world) stereoscopic
6minutes
-Envolee au paradis (about death, waiting in line for judgment robot,
paradise, hallucinations, God as extraterrestrial, doubt) 5minutes
All the modeling, textures and storyboard are finished for these 3
projects, need to resume work after CombadZ is finished.
Now Neico, you have the duty of producing result : )

The future for stereoscopy is where there is an inclination to do so
in a CG studio or where there are the cameras in a live studio. It
drops out the bottom of a CG production since all the parallax data is
already in place.
There has always been bad and very bad animation and movies ... and
music ... etc. There always will be. It is often money ruling the
production but mostly it's simply lack of talent. Talent, even on a
low low budget, can still fly high.
Now, where was I ... oh yeah ... my movie .... later gator!!

Robert Zemeckis is the guy who convinced the other directors to go
full CG.

Tim burton has finally abandoned stop motion (hope he use the same
talented animators)

James Cameron will bring stereoscopic 3D CG by force into your home with
3D full HD televisions.
Hope "standard-definition retards" will jump on the train this time.

I would have tough that with the democratization of 3dcg to the masses,
there would be quality productions (animations) by amateurs.
To this day, it's still not the case, only big studios produces some
decent result (most of them not).
Is 3Dcg too difficult compared to stop motion or hand drawing?
Is the youth too lazy or impatient to invest the time in making a short
animation?
There was more 3D cg animation 10 years ago by amateur than now.
All we see is an object rotating, 1 GI image, one walk cycle.
All these magnificent software + fast computers for nothing, only test
rig, test rendering, test material, test ...
Is 3D animation only for big studios?
Will Pixar make a movie one day with a decent story and interesting
characters?
Common Pixar, reading the RIB standard is more interesting than the
story of your movies.
Even I have not produced anything decent since 1994. 3D cg was the
promised land.
Photorealism has raised the bar too high for anyone to attempt
animation.
Animation doesn't need to look real. Avatar does not look real, it looks
better than reality.
