The Washington DC Chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH is proud to present, Mark Reisch, Assistant Professor at Rochester Institute of Technology. Mr. Reisch will be presenting his latest research into live action virtual production and scaling that knowledge down for stop-motion virtual production. He will also discuss and demonstrate his latest work with control rigs in the Unreal gaming engine and the shift to animating within Unreal rather than exporting animation from another program such as Maya. Bring your questions and a friend to learn more about virtual production for stop-motion animation.

The meeting will be hosted on the Zoom platform. A link to the meeting will be provided 10 minutes prior to the presentation to all those who have responded to the announcement on our MeetUp.
