Primitive B needs to be split, and half will return to the current bucket while half will be handled in a future bucket. Primitive C is in the current bucket because its bounding box touches it, but once split, both child primitives will fall into future buckets. Primitive D will be diced and shaded in the current bucket, but some of the micropolygons generated will be held for sampling until the next bucket is processed. Eventually, there are no more primitives in the current bucket’s list. They all have either been sampled or transferred to future buckets.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • Loren Carpenter, Inventor and President of Cinematrix, Is a Pioneer in the Field of Computer Graphics
    Loren Carpenter BIO February 1994 Loren Carpenter, inventor and President of Cinematrix, is a pioneer in the field of computer graphics. He received his formal education in computer science at the University of Washington in Seattle. From 1966 to 1980 he was employed by The Boeing Company in a variety of capacities, primarily software engineering and research. While there, he advanced the state of the art in image synthesis with now standard algorithms for synthesizing images of sculpted surfaces and fractal geometry. His 1980 film Vol Libre, the world’s first fractal movie, received much acclaim along with employment possibilities countrywide. He chose Lucasfilm. His fractal technique and others were usedGenesis in the sequence Starin Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. It was such a popular sequence that Paramount used it in most of the other Star Trek movies. The Lucasfilm computer division produced sequences for several movies:Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Young Sherlock Holmes, andReturn of the Jedl, plus several animated short films. In 1986, the group spun off to form its own business, Pixar. Loren continues to be Senior Scientist for the company, solving interesting problems and generally improving the state of the art. Pixar is now producing the first completely computer animated feature length motion picture with the support of Disney, a logical step after winning the Academy Award for best animatedTin short Toy for in 1989. In 1993, Loren received a Scientific and Technical Academy Award for his fundamental contributions to the motion picture industry through the invention and development of the RenderMan image synthesis software system.

  • The World of Interactive Media Systems and Applications Mobile, Cloud-Based Analytics, and User Engagement Are a Must
    The world of interactive media systems and applications Mobile, cloud-based analytics, and user engagement are a must Sam B. Siewert December 10, 2013 Digital media is rapidly integrating with interactive systems and social networking. For example, television is now an experience that includes social networking for many viewers, who either use their smartphones on an ad-hoc basis or by using a device or social-networking tool provided by the cable or telecommunications network or content provider. Cable TV master facilities (headends) and digital artists need to evolve quickly to meet this growing demand to keep their content and services relevant. This article describes tools and methods for Linux® servers for digital media and interactive systems. Digital video and data-in-motion analytics have evolved quickly as cable systems have gone digital (nationwide and globally), as digital cinema has become ubiquitous with new features such as 3D, and as mobile digital media access has become available for smartphones and tablets. Just over a decade ago, most cable providers offered digital cable as well as high-definition and on-demand programming. The trend continues with social networking integration with digital cable and with Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS), which provides Internet service over a cable modem. At the same time, Netflix, Hulu, Gaikai (a Sony subsidiary), NVIDIA Cloud, Gamasutra, and many other purely Internet-based content and interactive on-demand services or development networks have emerged (see Related topics for more). Cinema has evolved so that globally and in the United States, with the 3D Digital Cinema Initiative, most cinema is now entirely digital, and film is truly a thing of the past, along with vinyl records and tape.

  • Press Release
    Press release CaixaForum Madrid From 21 March to 22 June 2014 Press release CaixaForum Madrid hosts the first presentation in Spain of a show devoted to the history of a studio that revolutionised the world of animated film “The art challenges the technology. Technology inspires the art.” That is how John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer at Pixar Animation Studios, sums up the spirit of the US company that marked a turning-point in the film world with its innovations in computer animation. This is a medium that is at once extraordinarily liberating and extraordinarily challenging, since everything, down to the smallest detail, must be created from nothing. Pixar: 25 Years of Animation casts its spotlight on the challenges posed by computer animation, based on some of the most memorable films created by the studio. Taking three key elements in the creation of animated films –the characters, the stories and the worlds that are created– the exhibition reveals the entire production process, from initial idea to the creation of worlds full of sounds, textures, music and light. Pixar: 25 Years of Animation traces the company’s most outstanding technical and artistic achievements since its first shorts in the 1980s, whilst also enabling visitors to discover more about the production process behind the first 12 Pixar feature films through 402 pieces, including drawings, “colorscripts”, models, videos and installations. Pixar: 25 Years of Animation . Organised and produced by : Pixar Animation Studios in cooperation with ”la Caixa” Foundation. Curator : Elyse Klaidman, Director, Pixar University and Archive at Pixar Animation Studios. Place : CaixaForum Madrid (Paseo del Prado, 36).
