The Journey to CGOverdrive

Well, all my part on Brunei 3D have been finished, now I have the time to share my pictures at the CGOverdrive 2006 Singapore.

At the Entrance


Carlos Baena of Pixar

Daniel Martinez Lara


Andrew Gordon of Pixar


Robert Chang


The bloody Indonesians (Rio and me) with Stahlberg and his friend Mr.Moayad. Accidentally stumbled to him at the SMRT


A pretty girl I met, introduced by Mr.Guni (one on the left), her name is Selvie. She goes to Singapore all the way by herself just to attend the conference. What a brave girl she is.

The trip cost alot of fortune. I'm broke. But with the experiences, meeting some extraordinary people and the knowledge I gain, it's worth it :). And if I don't dare to take the risk, how else would I learn to face risks?

Also Mr.Stahlberg posted our photos at CGSociety. I mean, it's Stahlberg... man! He posted our photos.

To be or not to be...

Well, here we go. Alot of obstacles we've been through, like the new place for us to work and live isn't really prepared yet, so while working we're dry. No internet, no drinks, can't take any shower unless going to Bandar Seri Begawan since the bathroom here is a mess. This moving is necessary, since the rendering machine would eat up thousands of watts of power. The old office are also very crowded.

I can ask the neighbour wether I may use their bathroom, for doing our "business", but everyday? Na-ah, I don't think that's polite lol. Also we went to the CGOverdrive conference just yesterday although Fandy and Johanes are staying with the project.

Before I went to Singapore for CGOverdrive conference, I finished my part and hit the "render" button. The machines are rendering while I attended the conference.

Anyway tomorrow is the deadline. I already negociated about 2 weeks ago with my boss about this Brunei 3D project. We have to drop alot of the building and with this kind of human resources number we are only able to give Bandar Seri Begawan walkthrough. The man said okay, just do your best.

Other buildings will be assembled using motion graphic, sort of like turntable with realistic environments. Fandy done this retouching process with the building supplies from me.

And so, 15000 frames of Bandar Seri Begawan walkthrough is on its way. So stay tune, guys.
