Since settling in here at Lucasfilm Animation I have been buried in both my day job and with Fracture and TD College that personal time is next to non-existent. Currently the Blender Art magazine bundle is NOT up to date. I know this so please keep any shity emails to yourself. At Fracture we are feverishly trying to get some new demo material ready for SIGGRAPH 2010 as Kevin will be there trying to spread the word a bit more about latest additions and improvements.

Review: How to Train Your Dragon

Submitted by ed on Fri, 03/26/2010 - 15:19

In the past couple of years there has been a surge in 3D (stereoscopic) movies. Many times it seems that directors simply try to add what is missing to a film by making it 3D. I have seen way too many movies in 3D that could have been easily enjoyed just the same in 2D. Even Alice in Wonderland failed to really justify the extra ticket price.

Since then everything was quiet and the fate of Wondestruck Studios seemed unsure. A few days ago there has been a buzz of news that Wonderstruck Studios is working on a deal to now use Ford Field.
