:) I've been working on it for a while and just got the time to render it recently. If not, just check out the images and marvel at their accuracy and coolness. That was a whole lot of technical! If you understood it, cool. I rendered the whole thing with mental ray. I then mapped the color channel into the transparency channel and set a slight bump map to accurately portray the ridges of the film emulsion. For the texturing (which involves the colors, images, and actual 'texture'), I made as detailed a reproduction as I could in Photoshop and then applied it to my filmstrips. I measured out a typical piece of 35mm film, complete with Dolby, SDDS and optical soundtracks, accurately measured out the sprocket holes, aspect ratio, etc. I took great care to be as accurate as I could. The background image is something I made in Maya. By doing so we achieve an almost like for like digital emulation of the. I feel that this new imagery does a much better job. Add your own logo or change the entire design to help inspire you whilst producing. While the 'Darkwater' theme that comes as a plugin with WordPress was very nice, I didn't really think that it visually represented me as accurately as it could. I'm giving The Cutting Room Floor a much-needed makeover.
