Corwin Holder tells us that ILM has won two Technical Achievement Awards already. The link is here on Oscar.com and these two entries are pasted below:
To John Anderson, Jim Hourihan, Cary Phillips and Sebastian Marino for the development of the ILM Creature Dynamics System.
This system makes hair, clothing, skin, flesh and muscle simulation both directable and integrated within a character animation and rigging environment.
To Dr. Steve Sullivan and Eric Schafer for the development of the ILM Motion and Structure Recovery System (MARS.)
The MARS system provides analysis of camera motion and object motion, and their dimensions. It employs a rich set of user-interface tools and sophisticated algorithms.
UPDATE: Manuel Alducin of ILMFan chimes in with this:
The tech Oscars were announced way back in January 7. They are to be awarded March 2nd. You might be interested to know that this is Cary Phillips (for Cari) and Jim Hourihan's (for Dynamation) secon Tech oscar win. It's not like they were announced today or they won today. By the way the Tech group that picks this winner is currently headed by Richard Edlund.
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
