Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Tessellation allows you to add geometry to any model and have it render in real-time via the addition of height and vector displacement maps. This is made possible with Direct X 11, which iClone 6 will support! In a real-time environment, it's hard to create detailed surfaces without raising polygon count significantly. However, the appearance of surface details can be accomplished via height or vector displacement maps, which create the illusion of texture on a surface by applying a pre-generated image map to it. This means that you can simulate a surface with more depth and detail without requiring the higher polygon count that would normally be required.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
The Dragon V2 is remarkable in a number of ways, but its reusability is what SpaceX founder Elon Musk says will change the economics of space travel. After docking with the ISS, the Dragon V2 is designed to return to Earth and touch down anywhere on land with the accuracy of a helicopter. Then, the ship will just need refueling and it’ll be ready for another mission. Click for Video and more details.

The opening credits of Ghost in the Shell are a stunning visual masterpiece -- so when a team of artists decided to create 39 live-action still frames recreating shots from the opening, this was a major undertaking.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Graphic designer Ash Thorp has worked on Amazing Spiderman 2, X-Men: First Class andPerson of Interest, but this was a pure labor of love. He assembled a team of 30 artists to recreate the beautiful shots from the GitS opening, but he's not involved with Dreamworks' in-development live-action remake. Click to see more.

“The Stargate universe is one that we missed terribly, and we cannot wait to get going on imagining new adventures and situations for the trilogy. This story is very close to our hearts, and getting the chance to revisit this world is in many ways like a long lost child that has found its way back home,” Emmerich and Devlin said in a joint statement.

Today Google officially announced at the inaugural Code conference that they have built their very own prototype self-driving car. It is designed to be used in urban settings at up to 25mph. It has foam bumpers and an electric motor and, for now at least, the Google signature spinning LiDAR on top. But what really sets it apart is what it doesn’t have; no steering wheel, accelerator nor brake pedal. Click to see more.

Tara Sorensen, Head of Kids Programming at Amazon Studios: : "We're not asking them to sit in front of the television and tie them to a block of programming [like with standard broadcast television]. They can pause it. They can rewatch it. It offers up a nice amount of flexibility, so I don't think it's just about keeping them in front of a 'screen' for us."

Journalists and society-at-large do #Amazon and viewers a huge disservice by tagging kid-centric content as '#binge-viewing' as if putting the viewer in control of what he/she watches is a bad thing--not to mention that it has nothing to do with what Amazon is trying to accomplish with their programming for preschoolers. Creators working with Amazon have intentionally tried to step out of their adult bias and look through eyes of preschoolers. Their goal is to create engaging content that triggers curiosity and creativity. This is the same approach I advocate for storytelling and central to the persona development and audience profiling in the courses & workshops we teach via Fielding's Masters program. The fact that Amazon streaming allows for viewer controlled consumption encourages other activities because there is no #FOMO by playing through scheduled broadcasts. Seriously, how is this even remotely negative? When will we get over blaming the audience for exercising choice in content consumption? I get how this is disruptive to current business models and how media companies might not be thrilled at having to be more creative to earn attention and loyalty, but consumers should be celebrating not labeling and journalists should get on board.
