There’s still work to be done on the hair, clothing, arms, etc…
It’s about 85% done.
Next stage is animation.
And Bruce will need a sparring partner.
So why not bring in Colt. Let’s see…

Way of the Dragon, Bruce Lee CG Model WIP

November 30, 2011 by Marten Go | 0 comments

For the past week, I’ve been attempting to build a CG Bruce Lee.

Here’s the first test render. You can see, there’s still much to do on the arms, hands, back, pants, etc… Eventually I’ll paint his head for close ups, but my intention is to keep Bruce at a distance to see his full body in action for now.

Smart Vending Machines

Artificiality via surface 3D display is coming in ubiquitous fashion. Window shopping will have a complete facelift. I’m talking about models flaunting the latest line of clothing; kitchenware and gadgets that promote interactive touch screen demonstrations.

Going shopping will be an assault on your eyes. Local environments will literally come to life by way of surface ‘anything’ displays and animation.

Humanoid Robots

October 22, 2011 by Marten Go | 0 comments

In the near future, ultra-realistic humanoid robots will be integrated into society through the healthcare industry.

I touched on this a few posts ago, and will provide more analysis and foresight. As society accepts their ubiquitous presence, one might have an extreme view of humanoids being more human than human–philosophically that is, because

humanoid robots will be programmed to have morals, principles and integrity, which are essential to earn society’s trust and acceptance.

Anything short of that should not be deemed ‘humanoid’.  Just think for a few seconds about human civilization around the world. How many millions or billions of people even know what are morals and principles, let alone integrity.

Anyhow, the purpose of a humanoid robot is very simple to sum up: serve as an extension to humans in alleviating daily, mundane routines to raise and extend the quality of life. And of course, be an unconditional pillar of support for our emotional needs.

To me, that seems logical.

So in theory, robots shouldn’t discriminate, hate or love, right? Right. Because they won’t have egos. Rather, they’d be neutral, and only appear to be emotionally attached to humans–just as domesticated cats.

To ensure this theory has any legs, programmers of humanoid brains would need to be scrutinized, and their coding process–transparent and open source. 

Establishing a humanoid ethics law beforehand would be necessary, I think. Violation of this law shall not be tolerated.
