#CG | Hem fet Consell General a 📍 Vilassar de Mar, on hem treballat al voltant del Projecte Mètode. Avui ha sigut el torn del 4t element del mètode: la llei i la promesa. ⚜️

També hem debatut sobre el replantejament de l'acte públic de l'AGO 📢 i sobre què creiem imprescindible per construir espais segur, així com quin paper poden tenir els punts liles en l’assoliment d’aquests. 🟣

Directors cant approve the ground sculpt until they see the lookdev (trying to avoid adding 'large scale displacement' here), they cant approve the lookdev until they see how it looks with dressing (grass/pebbles, etc).... but we cant do final dress until we have final modelling & lookdev!

Lol, chicken and the egg here! So whats the solution? 🤔 Sadly this company uses a 'conventional' pipeline and not a more modern dynamic pipeline!!

We did what we needed, over delivered and made it look good, probably taught them all kinds of basics on how to get CG projects done and everyone was happy.

We never heard from them again after that project. I dunno, they probably became big CG commercial producers or something afterwards. :)

It quickly was determined they had *no* idea what they were talking about or doing, and further discovered they had gotten this project through a contact at Microsoft, intended on doing it themselves, but didn't know how and then came to us. And didn't want Microsoft to know it was us executing and not them

One was frat boyish and the other explained all things with sound effects and gestures. so we called them "Sparky and Sonic Boy" behind their backs.

One of the strangest CGI project I've worked on was footage that played during the installation of Windows 95 on you computer. Animating and moving Windows logo elements. I assume it played millions of times, but probably watched by no one as they walked away and waited for the OS to install.

Two "producers" approached Rhythm and Hues with the project, as if it was a very prestigious thing and asked us all kinds of questions like "what format would you make it in?"
