I got to meet Camilla d'Errico! I used to doodle her art, loved her before she was big, follow her art to this date. I am SO stoked. She ranks high on my list, Lynda Barry being at the top. And now I've met them both! She is so nice too! She gave me a cherry tomato :)
Full Indie yesterday also was excellent.
I really liked learning about 1-2-3D Catch, which is an AutoCad program that models 3D items for you. Basically, you take 48-64 pictures of an object all around it and send it to the program's server and it sends you back a model you can use. It's a bit like the process I did with Kristen, capturing her puppet head, where we rotated the head and snapped every angle of the head puppet. Though, the two speakers of Rust Clad do something opposite - they move around the object with a camera rig. A homemade one too! Brilliant.
I really loved East Side Games talk, about how they try to work against being a big company... one that has "meetings about meetings". How they have a pitch every month, where everyone in the studio is free to tell the team their ideas. It sounds like an amazing place to work!
Full Indie is coming up this week. I'd really like to go to get more feedback on my game, but I'm going to the Distant Worlds: Final Fantasy Symphony. SO NERDY! B)
