Join us at SPARK FX this year for the AI IN VFX stream, where we dive into the different ways that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used in the VFX industry. This stream will showcase various phases of the production pipeline which includes how AI can be used to improve the workflow of artists and filmmakers, to allow them to produce higher quality content in a faster/cost-effective way and remain competitive in an ever changing market.
Examples of topics include the use of AI as a tool to help artists with photo-realistic human face generation and control, cloth simulations, character rigging and animation, augmented reality VFX, and even asking the AI itself to be creative.
Included in this stream:
- AI in Real-Time Humans for Games & Film
- Deep Body IK & Machine Learning for Rigging & Animation
- Real-Time Data-Driven Character Clothing
- AI, AR, & FX: The Kayfabe Life
- Creative Artificial Intelligence & Movie Making: The Artist in the Loop
With artificial intelligence powering the tools of visual effects, the future of augmented reality is bursting with wonderful opportunities, fascinating challenges, and dangers.
