The 3D Modeling Techniques Of Today
The modeling techniques of today are the antiquated clichés of tomorrow. Seeing what is down the pipeline, and watching for emerging trends and riding those trends helps keep you employable and the 3D romance alive. Change is a big part of 3D-be ready for it. However, after having said that, make sure that you are not just a 3D technician. Incredible proficiency at a software package, but poor vision and design, does not bode well for a demo reel. Do target your demo reel.
Know Your Audience Once you have found the areas of 3D in which you are interested, make sure you know who else is interested in it. Watch for job listings at sites like 3Dcafe, HighEnd3D, and in magazines like 3D Magazine's annual "Get a Job" supplement. Read the descriptions carefully. Note their likes and dislikes. Watch for software preferences. Check out target company Websites to see work they have done and where they are going. Once you understand what your target employers are looking for, give them what they want.
If you know that you want to work in architectural pre-visualization, and every firm you have looked at uses Viz and Auto-CAD, do not spend the next year becoming incredibly proficient at Light-Wave. Developing your craft as a 3D artist is a never-ending process. Although the speed at which 3D technology is changing may eventually slow, it certainly is not showing signs of it now.
If you want to animate characters, create a demo reel strong in lots of moving characters. A house looking for character animators probably does not care if you have a perfect grasp of different refractive qualities of different sorts of glass-so do not include a lot of glass renders. If you want to be a compositor artist, have lots of compositing examples.
Animation houses are deadline oriented, and as such, do not have a lot of time to waste on chunks of demo reel that have nothing to do with the job at hand. In addition, some animation houses have very specific requirements for reels. Some want to see completed stories, some want to see snips of lots of different projects, and some want to see a project from wireframe renders to final raytraced versions. Some want reels less than one minute, while others want to see more.
Find out what your target wants and make it right. Do develop your own style. Artistic vision is often lost as beginning 3D artists struggle with grasping the technical demands of the software. Break through the level of work listed in software or book tutorials. Without your own style of modeling, texturing, animation, or design, your demo reel will feel like the other 50 reels the employer received that day.

The New 3D TV 0f 2010
Years ago, we used to watch TV shows in a 12-inch black and white television set. There weren't so many shows to watch back then. But as years passed by, we can notice how the television has evolved from a simple box with pictures into the newest, grandest design TV sets. Starting with black and white TV to plasma TV then Flat screen TV, a new technology now appears and enters into the market. The newest technology when it comes to television is the 3D TV. This TV will surely change the way we will watch our favorite TV shows.
This year 2010 is considered a gateway for 3D movies. One 3D movie that had a great impact to viewers is the "Avatar" which made over $2.5 billion dollars in the first 66 days of its opening. This implies that shows are now presented in a different and a much higher level of movie presentation. Until now, more and more movies are being produced in 3D versions. This paved way to the creation of the newest, most advanced Television set, the 3D Television set. For the 6 top television companies - Sony, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Vizio and Panasonic, this is another battle for them to show off their brand, outshine their competitors and prove to the consumers that their brand is the best.
What makes 3D TV different? Just like in 3D movies where 3 Dimensional features are produced, 3D TV also uses the stereoscopic effect in creating its 3 dimensional pictures. This creates an illusion making 2 slightly different images of the scenario for the left eye and right eye, tricking the brain that the flat image we are watching truly has depth in it. The truth is 3D TV technology isn't new at all, it was actually marketed few years ago but the main problem why people did not patronize it is because of its glasses. During that time, you need to wear 3D glasses for you to appreciate the 3D technology on this type of TV. But because of the continuous research by leading companies, they've come up withthe latest 3D TV version which does not need special 3D glasses.
In CEDEC 2010, one of the leading television manufacturers unveiled their newest 3D TV free from 3D glasses. Also, Panasonic announced its released of its own version the Viera VT25 series. Then, later, Samsung also already releases their own brand, the BD-C6900 a 3D Blu-ray Player. In year 2011, it is expected that more versions and brands of 3D Television sets will come out and it's for consumer to see which company manufacturers the best 3D TV. This technology would surely be a big hit! But of course, there are certain issues manufacturers have to address and one of them is price of this 3D TV. Before the 3D TV could invade every home, they should make it more affordable especially for the middle class.

3D TV Buying Guide Basics
If you want 3D TV in your home, you will need the following products to get set up...
1. A 3D-Ready TV.
If you want to enjoy 3D entertainment at home, you need a new 3D-ready TV.
2. One Pair of 3D Glasses per viewing person.
As of right now, you need 3D glasses to enjoy 3D Entertainment at homes. While there has been some research and development done, there are no 3D TV's available for purchase that do not require glasses.
3. A 3D-ready Blu-ray Player
If you plan to watch 3D Blu-ray discs (the only option for home movies as of now), you will need a 3D-ready Blu-ray player. The Playstation 3 will have the ability to play 3D Blu-rays after a summer 2010 firmware update.
4. HDMI 1.4 Cables (13.8 Gbps or higher Speed Rating)
You need "high-speed" HDMI cables that are rated as 1.3 and have a 10.2 Gbps speed rating or higher. 3D content requires twice as much data to be transferred to your TV to deliver 3D images, thus the need for higher-speed HDMI cables.
Note: Some sources have stated that HDMI cables rated as 1.4 with a 13.8 Gbps speed rating are required to watch full quality 3D content. From our research and experience, 13.8 Gbps HDMI cables are not required, and the lower speed 10.2 Gbps HDMI cables will suffice.
5. A Home Theater Receiver with 3D Pass-Thru Technology.
Most 3D TVs only have 4 HDMI Inputs which will limit the number of components you can connect to your 3D TV. If you need more than 4 HDMI inputs, you will need a home theater receiver with 3D Pass-Thru Technology. Old home theater receivers (without 3D Pass-Thru) will not work be compatible with 3D content/components.
6. 3D Content!!
Movies, video games, or 3D TV Channels.
There are already Home Movies, Video Games, and TV channels available in 3D with plans for more and more content to be released in 2010 and 2011. Check out our Content Guides below or with your local cable/satellite provider for more info.
