Intro to Slim Notes: to accompany videos provided by Escape Studios
As someone who is trying to become more comfortable with Renderman's Slim shading interface, there really isn't enough documentation out there. Those of you who have tried searching, like I have, know that Pixar is notorious for not publishing a whole lot of anything in the way of documentation, and the documentation that they do publish is either outdated, on the surface, or way over your (my head). That aside, Escape Studios was nice enough to provide some write ups and videos for Pixar on their website (and yes its free!). It's not a lot, but it's a good start.
Anyway, to get to my point, I found three videos on an Introduction to Slim yesterday and took notes while I watched. So in lieu of my previous rant, I'd like to make my notes available to you. Yes, I am not publishing anything new, I'm merely regurgitating information from the videos by Escape Studios, but if you're like me more notes never hurt!
So without further ado, I give you the aforementioned notes...

People in the know have been hearing me talk about creating a time-lapse video for the visual component of my thesis. This video is obviously just one example, but it illustrates many of the things that I will be aiming to replicate in my visual for my thesis. Things like the pace of the sky, the jittery movements of the plants, trees and water, animating of shadows, etc... It's gonna be fun!
Some highlights of the meals that I made this week.
The State of the Thesis Visual
So this is where I'm at with my visual at the moment. Everything here has been done in mental ray. Couple of the key features thus far are a linear workflow and adepth pass for things like DOF and atmosphere.
It's hard to believe that I'll be done after this quarter.

WELCOME TO MY LIFE!
Hey! So welcome to my blog. I decided that i needed a blog component to my website. A place where I can keep track of all the cool crazy and curiously creative things that I'm doing and or up to! The main question that I have as I'm starting this thing is "Do I have to get an Instagram now that I'm Tumblring?" Man just typing that makes me want to take a photo of that moment and make it look like an old out of focus Polaroid.
Seriously though, this is my Visual Effects Blog. Which means that if I'm in the mood, I'll be posting updates of all of the latest projects I'm working on, or just general news in my life. I'll also be keeping a log of all the progress I'm making on my thesis too.
My goal for today is to get one followr! Do I need to take the 'e' off the ending of every word now?
Don't be afraid to let a little more Michigan into your life!
