Aiko Studio is a company that specializes in 3D modeling, texturing, animation, rendering, and effects. In their latest video they generated a 3D computer model of a simple classroom. They did a flythrough of the classroom to get you focused on some details you might not usually focus on in a classroom. What caught my attention to this video is the realism that this video shows. The detail of this video is also spot on with its close up's and its use of different lighting. Aiko studio also has a making of the video that shows the different lighting patterns and the sequences in which the video was designed. It took Aiko Studio about 6 months to complete this video but they stated that this was an in between project and was not a full time job. They used 3D Max + V-Ray to complete this project. So go ahead and have a look at the video and check out more of their works on Vimeo.

I enjoy coming across short film movies. They seem to have an ambiance to them. The short 3D film Descendants fits this description. This film is a 14 minute animated short about the wish of attaining the unattainable and about the fact that something good can evolve from something evil. This film is definitely a aspirational piece of art and it even goes deep with it's philosophical core. An interesting fact about this film is that one of the characters voice over was done by Whoopi Goldberg which it's nice to see that she was interested in something like this. If your interesting in learning about the making of the film. Then check out Binary Alchemy where you can read all the details of this project. Leave a comment about the film. I would like to hear about what you think about the film.

3D usage has become the new thing for 2010 with it's over use in movies, 3D TV's and now we have 3D camera's. Sony has started joining the 3D momentum in their new camera the Cyber-shot TX9. This sleek new camera with it's svelte, pocket-friendly number that creates 3D panoramas automatically in one press and sweep motion will run you about $400 bucks. This camera is priced about right for the features that the TX9 offers. Here are some other features of this camera. It includes a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen, a 12.2 megapixel Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor, 10fps burst shooting, 1080i HD video recording, Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, and a Carl Zeiss 4x optical zoom lens. If you want to find out more about this camera check out Sony's site.

Here is a little short video talking about Sony's new camera's that are coming out and their features. The video is kinda shaking just an fyi.
