Nice breakdown was interesting to read, nice models too. I missed the show but think I'll download it.
Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Poly wise its mainly quads, I had a few nightmares where models were coming to me with 9 sided polys+(someone needed shooting). Some we had to let go thru as (time contraints) but renderman turns them into quads on rendering thru the smoothing algorythm, but its not ideal really as it puts more work on the renderer...

A Very Political show, but very much tamer than I remember Spitting Image to be... Maybe it has hard hitting for the 80's.
Anyway sad to see you didnt get a credit, but the models all looked good and renderman did its job well.
Good Work mate well done. Get you CV off to Pixar now

It was in either the Sun or the Star on Saturday, I was reading it in a cafe when my car was getting repaired, otherwise I would scan it in and post it up, the main pic was of posh, it also had Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis and Sly.

I hate all that fuss crap. I dont mind watching the 'making ofs' on dvds etc but I didnt wanna be in one. I was only in the room next to Mark Reeve the character designer, and he kept saying to do it because he was doing the concept while I was modeling. The camera guy was pissed off cos I declined. Stiil most of the models shown were again the ones I did. You can see the Amy Winehouse prints on Marks desk too ( I did those as well) Also the rest of the studio in London declined apart from Steve Corren the VFX supervisor, they shot the other stuff at ITV and manchester
Im there in spirit like Obi Wan lol
cheers

Yeah about time!!
I found out yesterday that I will actually get a credit this week!! Its all down to ITVs air time so they are getting thru the crew slowly but surely. Seems a bit tight to me as it will look like I worked on one show only....anyway look out for Jason Edwards on the 4th 'credits card'
cheers
