À PROPOS DE CE WEBINAR
Grâce à une approche collaborative de l’éclairage digital et du look-development qui est extrêmement efficiente, Katana offre aux artistes/graphistes une nouvelle dimension créative, leur permettant de répondre aux besoins évolutifs des projets de rendu CG actuellement les plus exigeants.
Partout dans le monde, les studios et universités de toutes tailles tirent déjà profit de la puissance de Katana. Mais pourquoi utiliser Katana? Et pourquoi pas vous?
Venez le découvrir avec Thibaut Vuillin, PDG et fondateur de Stim Studio qui vous présentera les avantages tirés de sa transition vers Katana et du processus d’intégration du point de vue d’un studio. Thibault exposera également un aperçu de son expérience, déduit de son enseignement de Katana et de l’usage du logiciel sur des projets étudiants.
Il sera accompagné durant sa présentation par Arielle Martin, spécialiste créative chez Foundry. Arielle présentera quant à elle, le logiciel dans son ensemble, et plus particulièrement, les dernières fonctions de Katana 4.0 ainsi que leurs avantages en production. Elle passera aussi en revue le support, les outils mis à disposition par Foundry, mais également nos différentes ressources disponibles pour se lancer.
La session sera en Français et suivie par une FAQ en direct.

VES France Board of Managers
Conference - 2020 Real-Time Conference FREE & Online
When: Mon Apr 06, 2020 04:00am to 03:59am EDT
As you may know, over the last couple of years, we have been working hard to put together a one-of-a-kind event that would gather cross-industry pioneers from around the globe, and bring to you the most advanced real-time tools, technologies and practices that are changing the way we live and do business.
By this time, we should have been polishing the last details with our venues, preparing signs, printing out programs and badges, sending you directions… But 2020, it seems, has decided otherwise.
Still, we know that this community has the power, even – or maybe especially – in this disruptive time, to transform our practices and maintain communication across industries – together and in real-time. After all, digital agility is part of our DNA here at RealTime Conference, as we have been working with a 100% remote community from day 1. Since the COVID-19 pandemic thwarted our original plans for trans-Atlantic convenings, connected in real-time, we have been working relentlessly to pivot to bring you a 100% virtual RealTime Conference, without sacrificing the richness of our program, and remaining as engaged and interactive as possible. And we are grateful to have been blessed with such a supportive community of partners, speakers, and collaborators that is the RealTime family.
In the spirit of fellowship, community, solidarity, and faith in the future, we are waiving all registration fees, and invite you to join us, at no cost, at the RealTime Conference in real-time online.
This is your opportunity to connect, learn, and share with leaders and cutting-edge innovators who are forging the future of real-time engagement. You may be under the impression that real-time technology only impacts a few industries, but our incredible RealTime family, featuring top-tier speakers from companies such as Intel, Epic Games, Google, Facebook, Adobe, Activision, Foundry, Weta Digital, Magnopus, Spatial, Daimler, 3Lateral, Oculus VR, Digital Domain, Pixar, and more… will be sharing with you extraordinary real-time’s enabling technologies and present-day applications on their own infrastructure, business, and resources. Topics will touch on everything from “Crafting Real and Virtual Architecture in Real-Time” and “Fostering Customers Engagement Though Real-Time Interactive Experiences” to “Bringing Real-Time Pipelines to Movie Making” and “The Real in Real-Time Photoreal Digital Humans”.
Last, but not least, a panel will address a sensitive topic as of today: “How to address the current climate and what studios, producers and companies could do to combat this in the future by making the most of real time technology”.
While we are still tweaking the hows & abouts of this online conferencing, please bear with us, and check our website for updates!! We’ll be back soon with more details as to how to register and a full program of keynotes and panel discussion.
