back to the point about what is revolutionary...........
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
in the end, 2d space will max out, if it hasn't already yet..................
i'm waiting for TRUE 3d computer graphics, we're just not there yet..
also holographic imaging would be nice............................................
so where's the holdeck when you need it?
that really is going to be the new frontier in cg.............
all this messing around in 2d space is very limiting,
and frankly it is getting old.........................i want to see
the real advances....................
yes, i'm sure that 99% of everyone on this board will hate
a 3d star wars remake.......................but i think it would
be really cool.......................................if only it would be
able to be done in some reasonable fashion, that hasn't
been done yet..............
i went and interviewed at a seismic processing company that
takes 2d graphs, and 3d data, and creates a whole room around
it, so you can 'visualize' the data in 3d.............its still very early,
and kind of clunky................but just imagine if it could be applied
to more complex animation , objects, and effects..............
i know VR was a buzzword a long time ago, and failed miserably,
and we've seen it in movies, like the 13th floor, and the matrix
(with its virtual worlds).....................................am i waiting for that?
no, because we'll never see it in our lifetime..................but someday
with the advent of high definition, some graphics processing, and
possibly some cool optic tricks, we'll have some idea ......but how
will it end up?
to me, that is the real revolution.....................and not just more
boring 2d processes....................................................
later
