Allez cuisine!

So, what will you be taking a big bite out of--maybe a shader apple?  You'll also need an esteemed panel of judges, preferably a prominent CG critic, an astrologer, and a beautiful actress who doesn't know anything about CG.  And don't forget to come up with an interesting secret ingredient, like "2D compositing" or "foie gras".

An eccentric CG authority had "realised his dream in a form never seen before" and specially constructed a production arena called "XSI Stadium" in his castle where visiting artists from "around the world" would compete against time to produce a finished shot in *one* work day. We have our masters and will be revealing them in a few days:

Modeling/Texturing - ???? ????????
Rigging and Technical Direction - ??????? ????
Animation and Face Robot - ???? ???????
Shading and Lighting - ???? ?????


This is the format for this year's XSI Master Class. The event will run from Sunday afternoon through Monday morning over an 8 hour period. Officially, there are 2 hours per production segment, but we're expecting (hoping for!) overflows and overlaps. We're going to demonstrate the logistics of working in a non-linear production pipeline and hopefully figure out how to pull it all together... before time runs out.

We have official sponsorship thanks to Boxx Workstations, a venue with food and drinks thanks to Jen and Softimage, and hopefully a nice crowd to support us and to get some education and entertainment thanks to the XSI Community.

Hope to see you there!
