Visual Effects Summit: Math, but Make it Cute
VFX is a unique discipline that requires a mix of art and technical skills, and the technical aspect has always been a barrier to entry for artists interested in this field. This talk aims to show artists that just like art, math is something you can learn through practice and dedication, and a key part of VFX.nnIn this talk, Chih-Yu (Geodraws) will dive into useful math concepts, provide visualizations to help explain the idea, and show real VFX examples to demonstrate how math can be applied. We will act as a VFX artist tasked to make a stylized torch fire. After each round of the art director's feedback, Chih-Yu would show how math can be used to address the feedback. Forget the formula and equations, he will show you a visual approach that helps link the math to the visual problem.
