Maybe it's jealousy that Leo is doing so well but him in that chair really bugs me when the guests get these tiny kitchen chairs. I almost expect Leo to elevate hydraulically above everyone and have the camera just tilt down occasionally to remind you there are guests in the studio. I'm sure ther...

@BridgeMTM I don't mean to point out the obvious but isn't this more a problem of language than interpreting evidence? We distinguish various forms of life by species to help us categorise the effect of evolution over time. Removing this need to map out evolution in a way that's easy for us to di...

@CmptrPrgmr That's different. You're putting more polygons into one object so that will use more memory and if you use hypernurbs that again is generating more polys. Just the other day I 1000 cars cloned in an animation and it was rendering using about 1gb memory, no more than 1 car. If i put th...

The swiping looks really awful. That would drive me mad. I thought about waiting for the touch screen but you've convinced me the el cheapo Kindle is the purest reader and apart from crappy file support, the best to live with.

@aastevens70 It worked so well, its dead.

Here in the UK this is more of a curiosity than anything else, it not being available here. I wonder if we'll ever get it. It's really a lot smoother than I thought considering nothing had time to be cached properly.

@KoukiR That's really not a lot at all. In fact that's a very low poly count. I think there is some issue with the graphics program. Also you can sidestep the detail problems altogether with a program like zbrush where tens of millions of polygons aren't an issue at all in real-time due to the wa...

@iTzAmpliFy It's actually a very simple animation. Cinema 4D takes care of all the dynamics. This is something anyone could do on their first day with cinema. There's no real hard work here. Just put the elements in the scene, assign dynamic tags and hit play. The rest is video editing to drag ou...

@JamesManes I couldn't call it original with it being a direct copy of the MS phone interface. Now the Phone UI, that' has some originality where its designed to be used by finger swipes. It has no place on the desktop where it'll be used by a mouse or trackpad. Like I say, it's there for no othe...

@Yony42 You're trying to paint a picture where science puts stickers on Monkeys and no blood is spilt. The real truth is that animals are often harmed, suffer and die in experiments all in the name of us learning more about them, ourselves or how safe a product is. That's what people are reacting...

Nice comment about the project settings. I learned a little trick in there too. If you set the dynamics speed from 100 to something like 10 or even lower, you can fix simulation problems, especially with cloth as theres just more processing going on in the same amount of time. Then use the skip f...

@IceTehFurz An assumption I didn't actually mean to make about you. Just one in general. But really to have variety in each sequence would have meant rendering a new sequence with slightly different settings for each run. That would have turned into a massive render job. Maybe I'm just weird liki...

Wow some harsh comments. I tell you what I liked, that you took the time to put everything into a real VFX sequence and not just another demo of an explosion on a flat plane that we see over and over. Hardly anyone messing around with graphics is trying to make finished pieces which is what we sh...

@AMDX8 My thoughts exactly and I think a lot of other AMD fans are thinking the same. Almost unreal how many bad decisions AMD made with Bulldozer and as a long time fan its painful to just look at the Bulldozer reviews.

Man that sure puts my PC to shame. What I could do with this setup! Absolutely amazing score even today. I wish I could afford it.
