3D World and Claymation Style

The August 2007 3D World Magazine has some interesting headline articles.
Chris Bullen looks at realistic interiors and Pete Draper returns to the badlands. But the one that will be making me get a copy is Matt Roussel's rendering technique to simulate clay. The turorial looks at both texturing and lighting this style using Cinema 4D. It will be interesting to see how it looks compaired to my attempts and programmes like the Island of Innis Cool.

Animated Adventures Exhibition

For those who want to see how animation is made there is the Animated Adventures Exhibition in Liverpool's World Museum. The exhibition looks into the whole of the creative process and is on from now till August. Visitors can experiment with lighting, sound and character creation.

Exhibitors include Timothy Albee, Aardman Annimation, Banjax, Evan Cagle, D7 Studios, Michael Sormann and Richard Vaucher.

Aardman was given high praises this month in 3D World Magazine which also contains tutorials on animals and fur, a free copy of Curvy 3D and reviews of Ghost Rider and the latest news and events.
