VIEW Conference 8 (6-9 November 2007, Turin, Italy), previously named Virtuality Conference, teaches you how to use the best digital tools in the film, design and game industry.
For free!
Softimage accepted the invitation to hold four master classes to teach 3D artists of all levels how to use SOFTIMAGE|XSI to excel in the fields of design visualization, film production, game development, architectural pre-visualization and others.
In the four days during the whole duration of VIEW Conference 8, from the 6th to the 9th of November 2007, the Torino Incontra conference center will become the headquarter of specialised Computer Graphics training held by the most qualified teachers and open to public.
Some of the most prestigious VFX companies will give workshops on how to use the cutting-edge technology offered by SOFTIMAGE|XSI in the digital visual effects production pipeline.
Here follow some highlights from the schedule.
WHAT’S NEW IN XSI 6.5
Attendees will get an overview of what’s new in XSI 6.5; demonstration of SOFTIMAGE|Crosswalk, a bi-directional way to transport 3D assets into-and-out-of Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya; a practical look at XSI tools for 3D Game Developers and Technical Directors; and a preview of future technologies.
VIDEOGAME DEVELOPMENT
SOFTIMAGE will show how to use game-development specific features in Softimage|XSI software to maximize the creative process and work efficiently in a next-gen game pipeline.
Key XSI features for game dev include: The Gigapolygon core, Ultimapper, XSI's framework for prototypes in DirectX and OpenGL shaders, GATOR (for retargeting animations and motion capture data), Alienbrain (asset management system), Softimage|XSI Mod Tool (to develop videogames for XBOX 360 and PC).
VISUAL EFFECTS FOR DIGITAL FILMMAKING (VFX)
In this master class, SOFTIMAGE will show how 3D Artists, Technical Directors and VFX companies use SOFTIMAGE|XSI to create some of the most realistic and fantastic visual effects for film and broadcast. Some key presentations: the Gigapolygon Core and XSI 64bit native support; the seamless integration of Mental Ray renderer within XSI; Render Passes, Render Channels and Render Buffers; resolution-independent compositing.
FUTURE OF 3D COMPUTER GRAPHICS TOOLS
For the first time in Italy, SOFTIMAGE will offer a demonstration of the upcoming XSI technology codenamed “moondust" architecture which will open to the seamless integration of a Renderman-compliant renderer and particle systems.
Is it enough for you?
If you think this is a unique event that you cannot miss, (and you would be right!) wait for the upcoming announcements about the master classes offered by Autodesk and NVidia.
