Check out this interesting interview with Ben Burden Smith of Mainframe Entertainment, which discusses motion capturing Tony Hawk and other local Vancouver skaters for “Tony Hawk in Boom Boom Sabotage“.

I can’t wait to see this film!

I stumbled upon some fascinating research papers and projects relating to graphics programming, animation, simulation and sketch-based interfaces on Michiel van de Panne’s site.

I found Sketching Character Motions and the Ski Stunt Simulator to be particularly interesting. The Ski Stunt Simulator reminded me of Brad Quick’s Dirt Bike.

Holy Crap! Autodesk acquires Alias.

This is big news, but $185 million doesn’t sound like a lot of money.

When I started working at CodeBaby a few years ago, they were working towards building a community like this, but it never panned out. They decided to focus their efforts on creating 3d virtual assistants.

It’s exciting to see IMVU giving it a go. It looks promising and works well. It was built using Pixomatic, a software 3d rendering technology from Rad Game Tools.
