BBH is live
I had some fun with the globe and sheep animations, especially with the R&D part.
Technically, pretty much everyone I knew was invited: Maya, Houdini, After Effects, MEL, Illustrator Javascript, Flash, JSFL, Python, Lightwave, Blender.
Some clever mix of 3D and video was used for the sheep animations.
For the globe, I did some 3D modeling in Lightwave for the main buildings, mixed with procedurally painted cities in Houdini - a total of 100,000 buildings, enough detail to do some moving image work with - as well as some fluids and particles R&D for the animated blobs.
I also started the development of a vector rendering engine written in MEL, which writes layered Postscript files directly from Maya. The features so far are animation ( frames exported as layers ), and backface culling. I'm still working on the Z-sorting.
