Globosome FMX trailer

Alex — Tue, 08 May 2012 16:39:30 +0000

German CG artist and director Sascha Geddert (Fallen, Der Traum vom Fliegen)
has posted online the trailer for his upcoming short film, Globosome.
The video is also the official trailer for the FMX 2012 conference.

“In the vastness of space, there’s a a small speck of rock inhabited by the most peculiar lifeforms: Dark little dots that start to replicate fast and begin to show signs of intelligence. “Globosome” tells the story of the rise and fall of these little creatures.
This film is inspired by the special times we’re living through on our own planet. We’re at the crossroads.
The question is what makes humans actually different from bacteria in a petri dish.
Surely we have culture, science and art but what does remain of these achievements if you look at our world from a global perspective.
The Film will be released in Summer 2012.”

V-Ray 2.0 sneak peek: Physically correct dispersion support in the V-Ray material.

V-Ray 2.0 sneak peek: V-Ray Lens Effects - Glare. Lens Effects can be correctly calculated based on your V-Ray camera lens setup.

V-Ray 2.0 sneak peek: VRayDistanceTex. In many ways similar to VRayDirt, but calculated before the raytracing, so unlike VRayDirt this texture can be used to control displacement, fur length etc.
