The Washington DC chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH is proud to present an evening with Samar Shool of Pixeldust Studios.
Samar, for his return engagement, will take us further into the inner workings of Pixeldust Studios by breaking down a recent CGI/VFX project into its components. Samar will take us from concept through final rendering, all the while discussing in detail the various stages of the project. Other topics will include software used, studio pipeline, and rendering process.
Please join us on Thursday, May 21, 2015 from 7pm to 9pm at the United States Patent and Trademark Office as Samar shows us how a final rendered project is created.
In order to offset costs for this event, we request a $5 contribution from non-members.
