Other highlights within the Studio program include an Epson sponsored t-shirt design competition and a special appearance by “Tiny,” a giraffe, who will be available for two animal drawing sessions with Otis College of Art and Design’s Gary Geraths.
Last but not least, the SIGGRAPH 2017 Real-Time Live! program is a one-night-only event that will showcase the latest trends and techniques for pushing the boundaries of interactive visuals. Watch the preview trailer.
“This year’s Real-Time Live! will represent a true spectacle of graphics rendering techniques from the most creative and technologically advanced minds across our industry,” said SIGGRAPH 2017 Real-Time Live! Chair Cris Cheng.
Real-Time Live! will feature 10 presentations. Among the highlights are:
The Human Race
The Mill and Epic present “The Human Race,” an interactive film made possible by real-time visual effects, blurring the line between production and post. Powered by UE4, The Mill’s Cyclops production workflow system, and The Mill Blackbird, the film revolutionizes the conventions of digital filmmaking to create a film anyone can play.
Penrose Maestro
Penrose Maestro is a suite of tools that enables artists to review and work on a VR story in a collaborative, multi-user native VR environment. It takes the artists into the production together, allowing for perfect spatial context when taking notes from a director.
Star Wars Battlefront VR: Piloting an XWing for the First Time
Star Wars Battlefront VR was released to critical acclaim in December 2016. This is the first VR game ever created using Frostbite, the same engine that powers games like Battlefield. The production team at Criterion Games faced the challenge of creating a VR game on PS4 with visuals that match modern AAA games.
