Here's another hybrid BG—multiple hand-painted elements cast onto surfaces from "slide projectors" for a completely hand-painted 3d stage. 🏆 Shinji Kimura + CG lead Takuma Sakamoto 🏆
#Softimage had amazing UI for this, still unsurpassed!

With the newest shit tantrum #Adobe is throwing and artists now having to pick up the shards, little reminder for the love of whatever you believe in, keep your shit local and if you can, get away from products of mega corps it never ends well. #modo and #Softimage users know.. been there it sucked.

Though all of my current and previous computers were without exception too unterpowered for any professional work, I have nevertheless always played around with #3DGraphics. It started on the #Commodore64 with #GigaCAD and ended nowadays – of course – with #Blender3D. Inbetween the usual […]

In honor of an old 3D modeling program I loved, #Softimage XSI, I took the splash screen as inspiration.

Passes for Toon-rendered vehicles #TEKKONKINKREET scene 1 shot 92. Hard-surfaces give clean contours, but we would often add jitter to the ink lines (similarly, splotches to the "paint")

As 3DCG, primitive, but technique leverages a great feature of #Softimage (wish you were here) — texture mapping in camera space, using standard camera UI to adjust pos/rot and (here it comes) shift image plane (great for matching BG paintings with off center or out-of-bounds vanishing points).
Back when I had more time, I was making pictures like that for fun.
How I miss working with Softimage... but I have to say Blender is pretty fun software to use as well now

#TEKKONKINKREET scene 1 shot 92 — mini breakdown showing integration digital elements, rendered in #Softimage w my #ToonShader code. In post, camera shake and Foundry Tinderbox effect (splotches on characters and vehicles, reminiscent of oldschool cel paint splotches)

Welp... Windows update #24H2 destroyed #softimage #xsi on my system when it was running flawless. #RIP damn you windows. Oh and I don't love #Linux
Another 2004 experiment in hybrid cinematography — a crane/dolly shot. (Maybe these days we'd call it a drone shot 🤷) Never used this move in the movie, though we did many big aerial shots.

Rigging for our 1999 #Tekkonkinkreet CG pilot film resulted in one of those schematic views only visible through a microscope.
Remember this, @wjtang.bsky.social ?

From a #Tekkonkinkreet promo DVD, demo of our hybrid cinematography. Takuma Sakamoto and colleagues like Yusuke Tannawa (and the BG folks!) did most of the heavy lifting, but I got my hands plenty dirty too 😬

One of our early experiments in hybrid cinematography — a fisheye/dolly shot (using my toon rendering and fisheye code). Test is from July 2004, about two years before production was complete.

Photographic-style 3D render of the sleek 'KHNK' military peacekeeper robot that I designed, carrying a 'tankbuster' EMP rifle. There is a logo of the emblem of this product line of robots.

Something new to play with, the SoftImage Creative Environment from 1994. The most mind blowing 3D animation tool from 30 years ago!

I h8 these intrnl struggles of choosing prgms. I have a project in mind that I've been modelling so far. Started w/ #Softimage & bounced to #Maya, heck even #Lightwave. I wanted to get the nostalgia feel with #XSI but it crashed 1, to many for me. #Maya been stable & LW made me wanna pull my hair.
Blows me away how #softimage #xsi 2013 doesn't crash hardly as much as 2015. Once again #Autodesk #ADSK tactics on destroying the software back then. I would love to see ADSK just go bankrupt and gone. #AutodeskEvil #Maya #XSI #bringbacksoftimage
