Hey there. As promised here is the second installment of our Siggraph 2009 Players roundup. (It’s actually a little bit earlier for UK residents).

We being exactly where we left off. This episode focuses on XSI, Mudbox, Cinema 4D, Blender and more.

Again a lot of topics are covered, including the eternal question, will Maya/Max/XSI merge into one? Personally I’m still split. To me, they show no signs of deserting their cornerstone 3d apps but then again look at what was included. Not a lot of new feature development from what i can tell (at least from 3ds Max and Maya). So maybe those guys and gals are working on something new…. who knows.

We also talked about a company known as Alioscopy Inc. I heard it got quite a lot of buzz on the Siggraph floor which is not surprising given its eye catching 3d monitors. Imagine 3d monitors without the glasses? Ultimate dream or Limited dream? David Lynch seems to think its pretty decent. Check out the video below.

Also just to let a few of you know, and to not keep you in the dark, we are also going to take a small break. It wont be for long, we are hoping to be back around the 15th with a brand new *relevant* show, but it could go over that so don’t build your hopes up (I doubt many of you will). If it does stretch out I think I have a few bits here and their that might be interesting to listen to, albeit non-relevant chit-chat(the chances are they will be from last years audio tests), but if you are really looking for something from us, send us an email.

And that also goes for the show. If you want to get in touch, maybe add your opinion about a topic we have discussed in the past. Or talk about something with complete anonymity then feel free to email us at feedback@cgroundup.com

So we hope you enjoy the show and hopefully we wont be gone too long.

    zbrush has cavity masking which works like the dry brush in mudbox. the cavity mask can also be exported as greyscale texture which uyou can use for all sorts of things in photoshop.
