I think the "fudicial" tracking system is included in Gem nowadays. I will not be able to come to the dorkbot meeting tuesday, I got the dates mixed up and I'll be teaching a pd/Gem workshop at VideoIn at that time. I hope you all have fun, I hope to make the next one! .b.

Please contact Steve directly if you're into it. Ok talk soon bye Kate ------ Forwarded Message From: Steve DiPaola Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2006 17:30:12 -0800 To: Steve DiPaola Subject: looking for sessional/lecturer for my sfu 3d animation class: help Hey All, I'm looking for someone to teach SFU (@Surrey) SIAT's innovative 'Intro to 3D Animation' course. It is a large lecture class (~125-170 students) with separate hands on studio labs (24 each with TAs). The lecture, labs, software and equipment is state of the art. My 4th year course in Immersive Environments is growing into several sections, so I do not think I can also teach my "Intro to 3D Animation" course which is a large and very popular course. Because of it's size, I was hoping to find someone who has taught 3D Animation before (but I'm open) - most of the lecture material is good to go (even online) and the person will get a lot of TA/IT support. We are using Maya and Renderman in the studio lab, but the lecturers are more about animation history, principles, techniques and research. Oh, the class discusses technical issues but is a 'non-programming, little math' class for technically oriented artists/designers where they crash course in 3D animation and form teams to make a short 3D productions, see http://www.sfu.ca/iat241 for details. Help me. Do you know anyone, (at ecaid, bcit, ubc, pro schools, industry) who wants to teach this for spring and is inspiring in front of 150 2nd years students? Pass this email around. I can help and mentor them, too. Hope all is going well, Steve -- - Steve DiPaola - - - Assoc.
