Integrating C4D into AE/ Tutorial / Aetuts+
"The more you get into After Effects, the more you realize how cool it is to bring in stuff from outside the program. This tutorial shows how take a scene from Cinema 4D and bring it over into AE. After effects is a compositing program and this is a perfect example of how to take a basic animation and add some "after effect" ae tuts+ (Eddie Bogdanov)

Reality beats fiction beats reality / Drone Controllers
Actually this is a simulation but could be reality!
Tomorrow's most efficient warriors will be teenaged geeks not even knowing
if they are scoring on bots or real people...
Surprisingly Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody's lyrics fit perfectly with the subjet.
Starting with:
Is this the real life
Is this just fantasy
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see..

3D ETHICS
Speaking of ethics in 3D might call for a (pre) historical review on how it started and progressed throughout time, probably as a specific quest in occidental art.
But this would and will be treated elsewhere in another chapter (history).
Our concern here is, specifically, digital 3D which started as soon as the third dimension became accessible, quite a short time ago.
Since then, not only the progression went on fast and faster, but it went through the exact same pattern as analogical creation.
The aim (well, in fact one of them) was, is and will be realistic rendering up to a point where it would be impossible to distinguish a photographic image from a digital construction.
There we are!
Digital constructions became a source of inspiration and model for real (albeit totally analogic) people.
Plastic surgery (pun included) has many positive aspects and will be considered in another chapter.
It also generates monsters...
Not the freakish dismorphophobic people but actors, actresses regarded as the acme of aesthetics, beauty, et c.
One can hardly find today non-modified people.
Seeing them in a historical movie would be like watching Julius Caesar with a cell phone!
When 3D artists create characters, they are trying to have them look natural yet enhansed.
They are, of course, free to design whatever they like.
It becomes awkward when real people are remodelled to ressemble digital character.
It will become monstruous when 3D artist will take as models those who have been so deeply unnaturally modified.

On the way to flat displays for caves / A VR Geek Blog
“It’s always been our dream to make a projector-free LCD flat panel CAVE,” DeFanti says. “The trick was to get the form of the huge StarCAVE into the space of a living room. We took a speculative leap by overlapping 9 panels, and it turned out better than we thought.” Sébastien "Cb" Kuntz
