Derrick Nau, our Senior Texture and Lighting Artist, writes a piece about his opinion on the future of CGI artists.

The Sony v. Canon debate continues within the studio. Find out how our decision benefits our customers.

A couple of weeks ago, we talked about virtual reality via mediums such as Oculus and Morpheus. In that blog, we focused on how this not-so-new immersion technology was making a huge comeback, impacting several industries in the near future, such as home improvement, gaming, and medicine. But what you may not be aware of is that there is a different kind of “reality” out there – augmented reality – and just like it’s full-immersion cousin, the artistry behind this technology is right up TRG’s alley. 

We might as well be asking, “What is the meaning of life?” The Nikon versus Canon debate has been raging for a long time, starting back when the brands were both born. Interestingly, the very first Canon camera, which was introduced in 1935, had a Nikon lens (although the brand was Nikkor at the time). 

Years ago, Doug Kiley joined the TRG Reality team as a photographer and went on to do terrific work in that role for many years. But eventually Doug discovered the need for a greater challenge. He wanted to push himself. Challenge himself. Grow. And instead of ignoring these feelings, like so many of us do, Doug made the decision to pursue a new and difficult path.

Is CGI delivering a knockout punch to the commercial photography industry?
