Annually, $7 trillion in global development financing flows to projects that deplete nature. We can think of this as nature-negative finance. This is approximately 140 times the amount invested in nature-based solutions each year.The ASLA Fund has released a new brief that explains how we can turn this around. It outlines the case for increasing investment in landscape architecture and nature-based solutions.The brief was developed by Dr. Jennifer Egan, PhD, PG, program manager, University of Maryland Environmental Finance Center (EFC) in the School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation. The EFC summarizes findings from research literature, national and international reports, and 175 case studies.

Thursday, November 21st, 2024Posted by Jim ThackerHow PFX created its invisible effects for The Hungarian Dressmakerhtml PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"PFX has released its VFX breakdown reel for Iveta Grofovas The Hungarian Dressmaker, the Slovak nomination for the Best International Feature Film at next years Oscars.Set in Bratislava during the interwar period, the film the story of a Hungarian widow who shelters a young Jewish boy in her home captures the citys rich multicultural atmosphere, influenced by Slovak, Hungarian, Czech, and German cultures.Set extensions, crowd simulation and an extensive fire sequenceFor the movie, PFX worked on over 120 VFX shots largely invisible effects, including set extensions and crowd simulations completed by a team of 40 artists from its Czech and Slovak studios.The recreation of 1940s streets, buildings, and decorative elements, such as flags and The Hlinka Guard uniforms, was a key part of our work, said VFX Supervisor Tibor Meli. We paid special attention to every detail to ensure historical accuracy.Special focus was given to iconic locations in Bratislava, such as Michaels Gate, where period elements were meticulously recreated based on historical photographs. Another major challenge was the fire sequence, seen towards the end of the breakdown, which featured long shots exceeding 600 frames, with realistic smoke and fire simulation.The project, including color grading, was completed in just three monthsVisit PFXs websiteHave your say on this story by following CG Channel on Facebook, Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
