Renderwiki

Found a cool site.

Renderwiki is a website on native renderers found in 3d applications like Mantra (Houdini), and Mental Ray (both as standalone and Maya Plugin).

The site is very informative because it deals with rendering on both a theoretical and production level.

Close to two months since we finished the short film, it's finally online.

Power Unleashed is a 4 minute short film for Roadrunner to showcase their special effects capabilities. Directed by Sid Maderazo, it is the story of a boy who aims to impress a girl through his powers, but unfortunately fails to do so as he still has to discover how to control it.
