It’s that busy time again between Comic-Con and SIGGRAPH, but VFXWORLD doesn’t miss a beat. Alain Bielik reports on ILM’s 3D creature animation in M Night Shyamalan’s LADY IN THE WATER. Orlando Luna stirs up Shake 4.1, Apple’s Universal Binary version of its famous compositing tool. Mary Ann Skweres gives a sneak peek of SIGGRAPH Art Gallery 2006: INTERSECTIONS. And J. Paul Peszko looks at the collaboration between concept artists and vfx pros, as we turn our attention this month to the digital artist.
