Basically. At least if the client has seen the look somewhere before they might actually know what they want! :-)



Moore's Law? Hah! Moore's Revenge!


Touché.

See, Eric knows that any look achieved in a big budget film, requiring
a
dozen R&D guys writing custom software costing millions of dollars
over
16 months... will, within a week of the film's release, be expected
for
him to replicate on a 10 day solo project for a local telephone
company
commercial.

Moore's Law? Hah! Moore's Revenge!

That looks great!

How are they doing the shading on those big wave water crash spray
things?  It's like particle-cloud-meets-ambient-occlusion-and-SSS...
like ILM's splash-spray shots during the capsizing of Poseidon.

Can we get close to that look yet w XSI particles?  I'm sure there's
a
cheated way to pull that off that doesn't involve raytracing or
volumic
shaders.  Anyone hear of any fast shaders for that?

-Eric
