\nComputer applications like Autodesk\u00ae MotionBuilder allow directors to control a virtual camera using hand-held devices such as the mock camera shown below.\u00a0 The camera movement is tracked in real-time and translated directly into the computer.\u00a0 MotionBuilder also allows real time capture and display of actors\u2019 performances applied to digital characters.\u00a0 This allows the director to shoot a computer generated (virtual) scene by simply directing the actors and moving the camera in the same way they would during a live-action shoot.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
In short, the 3D visualization technology that is beginning to become more and more common in the building industry were similar to those used by James Cameron when shooting Avatar.\u00a0 It allowed him to march around the set and direct just as he would with real characters and objects because he could see something very similar to the final product.\u00a0 I’m sure it beats having to direct actors with a big green screen behind them.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I think it is save to say that Camera pulled off another good one with Avatar – it’s already made more money than Star Wars.\u00a0 In fact, I think James Cameron has made more money than God.\u00a0 But while the building industry may not be quite as lucrative at least we use some of the most advanced technology to improve our industry.\u00a0 Hell, maybe we’ll make a movie about it.<\/p>\n

king you have the script (plans), the set (jobsite) and of course the final product (building).\u00a0 Similar to construction, the more time spent on the script, the smoother and quicker the implementation of the script takes place.\u00a0 And of course, making changes to the script during production (construction) can be brutally expensive.<\/p>\n
