The Greatest CGI Ever: Alex Roman & Architecture as Art

Posted by QuenchPops | Filed under Art & Design

The following piece is 12-minutes long and is the greatest FULL computer generated imagery (CGI) I have ever seen… The piece is purely architecture based and makes Avatar look 5 years old. It’s 100% animated and was built in 3ds Max, V-Ray, After Effects and Premiere. This is Alex Roman’s “The Third and the Seventh.”

Please Help Haiti: UNICEF and the Stories on Twitter

Posted by QuenchPops | Filed under Current Events

15 January 2010
Two days ago, the potentially worst disaster in my lifetime hit the nation of Haiti. A 7.0 Earthquake devastated their nation’s capital. People are still stuck under the rubble, texting their loved ones “Where are you?” to no avail. One man trapped under his house even called his family in Brooklyn, which CNN featured on TV last night along with his address in Port-Au-Prince in hopes that the few rescue crews in the devastated city may save him. Millions of dollars have been raised, but many charities don’t have the open routes or possibility of going in yet.

As a Katrina evacuee, it brings me to my knees to think there are people yet again stranded for days after an event like this. Please, please donate to any charity with the resources to get in as soon as possible and start saving people. CharityNavigator.com is a great site that lists the most efficient, accredited charities. UNICEF and Doctor’s Without Borders are 4-out-of-4 stars, so I highly encourage you to donate to them.

In the meantime, please follow CNN’s Twitter feed here to realize how real this is.
