Random Thoughts 5 - READ RULES IN FIRST POST
Great game today. Wasn't allowed to talk with the players, but I realized huge they were. John Wall looks like a giant to me and than I see Nene and he's like a giant giant lol. Great win even though I was like the only Wiz fan in the building haha. Great experience.
I just realized it's been 20 years since "Toy Story" was released... it's crazy how far CG animation and effects have come since then XD
I mean, one person using modern animation software can crank out 10 minutes of footage with that level of visual quality in a couple of months (though, of course, the Pixar team was heading into unknown territory while an animator today probably has tons of experience with an existing animation suite). Machinima mixed with tools like Source Filmmaker can also make things even easier, at the cost of originality.

I also liked the sequels though. Concerning the Animation, 3D is actually easier to do than 2D, from using modern animation software. so... 2D > 3D. Lion King > Frozen

General question, should I be proud that I made a pretty good mod for this game Project M? I mean I added stages, characters, music, created a new character "skin" and looking to release it. This would probably fit for gaming, but do you guys feel I can seek a career in this? There is a development team that's looking for people like myself.

That's why i said it's with effort. However other 3D animations look like carp tbh.
Which movies in particular?

The Lego Movie was totally in CGI if I'm not mistaken. Everything in this movie looks so realistic, so far one of the best 3D animation I've seen. The stop motion feeling it gave makes it even better.
But, in my opinion, drawn animations looks a lot better than any CGI. It is just visually more attractive to me.

I think the Lego movie is part CGI and part stop motion, nevertheless it blends in together so well!
I like the way the Peanuts movie look, that was stop motion wasn't it? If you want an example of bad CGI in films that's not an independent movie, it'll be: Food Fight!, Kis Vuks: A Fox Tale, Mars Needs Moms.

If you liked doing it, then absolutely. You know you've got a good career if you're good at it and you enjoy it; as long as it pays decently you're all set.

If that's how you see it, I am perfectly fine with it as well. I just wanted to give my thoughts.
Anyone been to scout camp? I recalled mine like 1 year ago in Gunung Salak. It's nice with the cool air and greenery, but Gunung Salak is an airplane graveyard-lots of airplanes disappeared here, crashed, with most or all lives onboard lost.
At night, thick fog comes down from the peak reducing visibility to near zero. Couple THAT with the above and my tendency to hallucinate, and it's a scary place.
Got fog tips though:
1. Avoid entering areas known for thick fog alone. Inform someone you can trust if you must.
2. If fog is too thick, hold and wait for it to pass. Too thick if visibility drops to near zero or below. 2-4m. Beyond that is thin.
3. If it's thin enough to see through, move at a reduced pace.
