"Massively" different 3D
Posted by Doug Fri, 13 Dec 2002 15:23:00 GMT
I can still remember walking out of the theater after seeing “Jurasic Park”. I was a third year electrical engineering student at the time. As most of the other electrical engineering students I knew, we were pretty smug in how we felt about our chosen major. We felt like the best jobs were ours for the taking. When I saw “Jurasic Park” I knew I had chosen the wrong major. I thought, “I should have chosen computer graphics.” Wired.com has an article titled “Digital Actors in Rings Can Think”. Yet more evidence that there are programming jobs out there “massively” cooler than anything I could hope to get. Stephen Regelous is combining state of the art artificial intelligence, fuzzy-logic, and 3D to create the battle scenes for the up-coming “The Two Towers”. I think I may try to get my master’s in AI. Maybe that will make up for it.
