Working from actor scan data is now a common task in the VFX and gaming industry. In this masterclass, Jan Jinda will give you a quick but complete tour on how to go from a rough scan to a clean production-ready model.

He’ll then continue to make model tweaks to bring the geometry to a ready state for texturing and rigging. He’ll also cover testing the model with a series of FACS expression shapes to ensure it is fit for deformation and animation.

Creating a production-ready model from a scan may seem easy, but without a solid workflow in place, it can be tricky to get right.

Framestore have been ever so kind as to include us with an invite to their deep learning talk on Covid-19. It is being hosted on Zoom this Thursday and is open to all VES members worldwide. Please find the link to the zoom invite below (you must be logged in to see it).

So much about Covid-19 is still unknown, even after months of astonishing global research. In this informal talk, I’ll describe how the open source deep learning community is trying to help answer the urgent need for fast, accurate, inexpensive Covid-19 population screening in mobile, urgent and primary care settings. I’ll discuss designs for a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for Covid-19 detection, but also I hope to show that each move forward with the deep learning tools we’re making bumps headlong into broad, unanswered questions. Specifically, I’ll suggest the unexpected importance of the effort towards serological tests for those without symptoms, identifying individuals who have developed an immune response by overcoming a Covid-19 infection.

Presented by Escape Studios, part of Pearson College London, The VFX Festival 2017, is run in London from 7 th – 9 th February 2017, in association with arts and cultural venue, Rich Mix. Whether you are passionate about VFX, animation, games or motion graphics, The VFX Festival 2017 truly offers something for everyone. This year, the festival aims to explore the crossover between these specialisms and the creative industries as a whole. As the gap closes between new and old technologies, the 2017 festival will focus on how all elements intersect, whilst in keeping with new and existing trends.
 
At the heart of the festival will be a series of discussions and demonstrations from the leading VFX, Gaming and Animation companies, as particular attention is paid to VR, AR and other media-sharing tech, and analyse how this informs the skillset required for the next generation of VFX practitioners.
 
Headliners include Framestore, MPC, Double Negative, ILM, and One Of Us, presenting work from such projects as Star Wars, Star Trek: Beyond, and Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.

This year it will run throughout the day on Saturday 7th January (exact timings to be confirmed), at Molinare – 34 Foubert’s Place, London, W1F 7PX.

Those who have been before know that it’s a great day – an opportunity to view and judge the world’s best film, television and commercials visual effects along with your peers.  It’s also a great way for you to support your local section.

Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ben Kingsley, Charlotte Le Bon, James Badge Dale

Synopsis: THE WALK – Twelve people have walked on the moon. Only one has ever, or will ever, walk in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers.

Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), guided by his real-life mentor, Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley), is aided by an unlikely band of international recruits, who overcome long odds, betrayals, dissension and countless close calls to conceive and execute their mad plan. Robert Zemeckis, the master director of such marvels as FORREST GUMP, CAST AWAY, BACK TO THE FUTURE, POLAR EXPRESS and FLIGHT, again uses cutting edge technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story. With innovative photorealistic techniques and IMAX® 3D wizardry, The Walk is genuine big-screen cinema, a chance for moviegoers to viscerally experience the feeling of reaching the clouds. 

It is also one of the rare live-action films that is a PG-rated, all-audience entertainment for moviegoers 8 to 80 – and a triumphant true story to boot. It is unlike anything audiences have seen before, a love letter to Paris and New York City in the 1970s, but most of all, to the towers of the World Trade Center.

Set in the summer of 1984 – Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is on strike. At the Gay Pride March in London, a group of gay and lesbian activists decides to raise money to support the families of the striking miners. But there is a problem. The Union seems embarrassed to receive their support. 
 
But the activists are not deterred. They decide to ignore the Union and go direct to the miners. They identify a mining village in deepest Wales and set off in a mini bus to make their donation in person. And so begins the extraordinary story of two seemingly alien communities who form a surprising and ultimately triumphant partnership.
 
Ambition
 
Imagine: with a wasteland as their canvas, a Master and his young Apprentice set about turning rubble into planets and moons, asteroids and comets. They levitate the worlds above their heads, spinning them in orbit around their symbolic Sun.
 
Tomek Bagiński’s short film Ambition is a collaboration with the European Space Agency to celebrate their pioneer Rosetta mission, an ambitious attempt to put a probe on the surface of a comet.
 
With visual effects by Platige Image. Screened before the evening’s feature presentation.

Colloquially known as the Input Puppet, their device is composed of interchangeable, hot-pluggable parts. Embedded sensors measure the device’s pose at rates suitable for real-time editing and animation.

The project has garnered much attention, with articles in WIRED Magazine and Gizmag. Most recently, the device was featured at Siggraph 2014 in Vancouver.

The team will be on hand to present their work, give a hands-on demo of the device, and answer questions.

Prof. Dr. Olga Sorkine-Hornung earned her BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science, and PhD in Computer Science from Tel Aviv University. She then received the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Fellowship and spent two years as a postdoc at the Technical University of Berlin.

She is currently an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at ETH Zurich, leading the Interactive Geometry Lab at the Institute of Visual Computing.

Dr. Daniele Panozzo received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Computer Science from the University of Genova. His academic career took him to the University of Maryland, and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, before completing his PhD at the University of Genova. In 2013, he won the EUROGRAPHICS Annual Award for Best PhD Thesis.

He is currently a senior researcher at ETH Zurich, where he works at the Interactive Geometry Lab.

Nominations will be judged in five cities around the globe: Los Angeles, London, Vancouver, San Francisco (Bay Area) and Sydney. Any active VES member who can travel to one of those cities may participate.
This is your chance to affect who will ultimately walk up to the podium at the 9th Annual show, to collect a coveted VES Award. A single vote may make the difference between being nominated… or not… and that vote could be yours.

Past participants know that this is the must-attend event of the awards season. Not only will you see behind the scenes of the most amazing visual imagery of 2010, but you’ll be participating in the single best networking opportunity of the year. It’s a chance to see old friends, meet the best and brightest in the visual effects field, and learn new techniques that you can apply to your own work. All of that, plus the satisfaction of knowing that our best work will be presented to our colleagues in the industry, the press, and visual effects fans across the globe at the 9th
