Its early charge into ray tracing and global illumination demonstrated their feasibility for visual effects and animation - Blue Sky Studios' Ice Age (2002) was the first ray-traced animated feature film. For this panel we gather a few of the pioneers for a moderated discussion on how Blue Sky managed, in the early days, to challenge the industry's conventional practice of CG production. Joining this panel will be CTO and visionary behind CGIStudio Carl Ludwig, Academy Award winning Directors Chris Wedge and John Kahrs and Academy Sci-Tech Award recipient Hilmar Koch.","PeriodicalId":124085,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Panels","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132006278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technology and workflow challenges in authoring, animation, simulation, shading, lighting and rendering have motivated studios and software companies to invest in tools and techniques to address the evergrowing creative appetite for hair to deliver captivating stylized and/or realistic characters. To deliver on the creative demand, some feature production studios have specialized hair production across multiple workflows-visual development, rigging, simulation, and lighting to name a few. Has this divided approach to solving a visually holistic challenge affected the tools choices and the way we invest in our toolsets? This panel will bring together engineers and artists representing various areas of expertise to provide a summary of their day to day relationship with hair. They will describe some of the big challenges and their solutions, as well as any issues still outstanding. From there we will dive into some of the commonalities and outliers to better understand how we have arrived at our current state and ultimately what the future is for CG hair, from a technology, workflow, and organizational points of view.","PeriodicalId":124085,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Panels","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128851601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
