Learn about the future of Animation and VFX industry.
AI (Artificial Intelligence) in not a new word in today’s rapid age of technology. Lay men are using AI based tools, unknowingly in a daily basis. Social media filters, online spectacles / eye glasses selection platform, face tagging apps are some of the most common applications that are tightly integrated in various social media platforms. These are on continuously rising mode.
Same trend is seen also in the Visual Effects and Animation industry. We started using AI for complex shots like face tracking / simulation, morphing, environment creation, crowd simulation, seamless lighting, image manipulation, roto / rotoscoping and more. Gradually, it went to a new paradigm altogether, with help of various cloud based technologies. And now there is no looking back. Adobe 2021 is a huge upgrade in AI based tools. The things which were taking mammoth technical skills and a huge amount of time, are now just a matter of some clicks and changing some values. What more, it gives on-the-fly results. GPU computing goes hand to hand with it.
Learn all about these and more in simple manner in an outstanding upcoming webinar, organized by LA ACM SIGGRAPH. Expand your knowledge and exposure in highly advanced arenas of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Deepfake, Neural Networks and more. Check out how all these are changing the future of VFX and 3D. You will come to know the future challenges and opportunities of our industry. It will help to understand regarding how to carve your niche to stay consistent in the job market and remain excellent.
