@frankjonen so, part of the razor blade club as well then? welcome. :)

@frankjonen Whisky and a razor blade?

@frankjonen yes, that is how I understood it as well

@frankjonen it can work. see Point Based Occlusion in Renderman, but to present IBL and HDRI as brand new technology? Debevec did that in 98

@GoToMeeting crystal clear sound all the way through though. better then Skype in 99% of the cases with this connection.

@GoToMeeting sometimes the video was a bit choppy, but very watchable overall. and the connection at my current stay really sucks. :)

@frankjonen the only really annoying part was the revelation of HDRI and IBL, the rest was fine.

@frankjonen but then again, sales was pretty much the main goal of the whole thing I assume.

@frankjonen yes, that was a nice idea. the rest a bit meh. too much sales show, too little meat. at least for someone who knows compositing.

@frankjonen hehe. sneaked in behind you. ;)

@TheRedOwl well, I guess most of the attendees were joining for that single reason.

congrats to all the lucky winners at the webinar. — and of course, curses for not being one of them!!

@frankjonen herzlichen glückwunsch :)

well, having a little issue in your webinar at least assures your audience that it is not a recording ;)

@Chris_Desanto the start screen actually looks very sexy :)

@Chris_Desanto I know, it just makes me cringe to praise these things as new inventions and something magical. overall it’s pretty good imho

OT: “this is part of a new vfx system called ‘image based lighting’” … really? …

ok. just listened to Steve praise the “light probe” as if it were something earth shattering new. this has been old in 2001…

@Chris_Desanto actually, I am kind of enjoying the 3D projection setups. simple, but nice to see how he handles them.

I have to say though, that I am really impressed with GoToMeeting. Even with my pretty bad connection here it is smooth as butter.

@Chris_Desanto @meken yep, so far nothing new. actually, pretty boring. but then again, I didn’t expect anything deep in the 1st place.
