Mattepainting Toolkit: Creating Photoreal Environments in Maya via Multiple Camera Projections

By Autodesk, Matte Painting, Mattepainting Toolkit, Maya

The clip below was shot was modeled, textured, and rendered with the help of the Glyph Software Mattepainting Toolkit. The Mattepainting Toolkit is a newly released plugin suite for Autodesk Maya that allows artists to efficiently manage multiple camera projections for the creation of photoreal environments.

The toolkit has been developed by Michael Breymann who identified a need to more efficiently model and render scenes that rely heavily on reprojected matte paintings.

For more information take a look at glyphfx.com/mptk.html, Michael provides series of videos looking at how the toolkit can facilitate the creation of a full-CG environment for a feature film – from a first look it certainly looks impressive and we like the way it has developed out of a specific identified need.

London Aerial Tour – Panoramas taken from a Helicopter

By Aerial Panoramas, Panorama

Google may rule the roads with their panoramic images but the true panoramic artists have taken to the skies to show how it should be done. VR Web Design are currently the only company in the UK offering helicopter based HD aerial virtual tours fronted by known photographer Tom Mills the results are simply amazing.

The short clip below provides a preview:

Panoramic imagery on the web has come a long way since the early QuickTime VR days, take a look at the London Aerial Tour to see the current cutting edge.

Final Call – International Conference on Theory, Data Handling and Modelling in GeoSpatial Information Science, Hong Kong

By call for papers, Conferences

We have a final call for papers in geographic/urban visualisation – the deadline for abstracts has passed but as we are running a workshop send them to us via the contact page and we will sort out the initial submission process.

The Joint International Conference on Theory, Data Handling and Modelling in GeoSpatial Information Science will be held on May 26th to 28th 2010 in Hong Kong.

This conference will be a notable event in the international community of Geo-spatial information Science (GISc) in 2010, organized by: Commission II of the International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) and Commission of Geographic Information Science and Commission of Modelling Geographical Systems of the International Geographical Union (IGU). The conference will join together the Symposium of Technical Commission II of ISPRS, the Symposium on Spatial Data Handling and the Conference on Modelling Geographical Systems from IGU.

ISPRS is a society regrouping scientific societies from more than 100 countries working in domains related to photogrammetry, remote sensing and geographical information science. 2010 will be a special year for the society as it will be celebrating its centenary anniversary. The ISPRS Technical Commission II Symposium is organised every four years alternately with the ISPRS Congress and is among the major events in ISPRS calendar regrouping leading scholars from the GISc and related communities. Last editions of the symposium were held in Ottawa, Canada (2002) and Vienna, Austria (2006) jointly with SDH.

You can find the submission guidelines and template from here.

Also take a look at the new Geovisualisation and Virtual Reality site (its hosted here in CASA) where you can sign up to become a member.
