cgR – Episode #006 – Siggraph ’09 (the Players) Pt1
“…they bought everything under the sun, so now they have to get rid of their toxic assets…”
Hey guys and gals, apologies for the wait. Been updating my audio gear just for you. Just so that you can listen to us with ease. This whole site is just for you. So if you want to blame someone for the wait, blame yourselves. Its all your fault. 
But in all seriousness… sorry.
Though you may find this episode sounds a little nicer (obviously there are things I hate about it) but here is some good news. Its only going to get better.
Anyway this episode was a mammoth 2 hour extravaganza, talking about one thing (we decided for your listening pleasure, to split the discussion into two episodes.). The one event in the 3d calendar that everyone has their eyes on. No Matter where on the planet you may reside, Siggraph is the santa’s grotto of 3d.
Although there are other (just as intriguing) aspects to Siggraph. This episode we will be focusing on the updates of the software creators, otherwise known as the players.
Now I know Siggraph is over a month old. But like I said we had issues and we had always planned to cover the event.
This is really a jam packed show and I wont be able to do it justice to list what happened and what we talked about, so im not even gonna try. Your just gonna have to listen to it. One thing we lightly touched on that really requires a link is a talk done on TED last year about Benjamin Button.
Also there are a few corrections i will be making in next show about some of the stuff we…. I said. So don’t get your panties in a twist if i have said something out of turn… ie Face Robot used to be 100k a license..when in fact it is $94,995 for the creation/animation tools and $14,995 just for the animation suite.
On a side note, I just wanted to say I this is Eugene’s first official episode. He did a great job don’t you think.
Welcome aboard mate.
The second part of this talk will be published next Monday.

Speaking of Collada:
I just wrote a Wings3D Collada plugin for exporting which is included with Wings 1.1.14. Importing will take a bit longer to complete.
Cheers-

I knew that research said that 97 % of weblogreaders just read and only 3 % responds, but it is good to see the reasons why those who don’t do this! Thanks and keep up the good work!
