Film Production Pipelines and Artist Techniques 3


The topic this time will be the design of Cel-look CG pipelines and pipelines for concept work.
The seminar a few days ago(*1) covered the difficult-to-explain topic of the requirements and constraints that apply to the pipelines and system infrastructure needed for large scale projects from overseas, etc.
Against the background of these constraints, we believe that when it comes to designing pipelines for Cel-look CG--which has undergone a uniquely Japanese evolution--and pipelines for the concept artists who design these projects, unique system designs will be in demand to realize these workflows.

Polygon Pictures will introduce several tricks based on utilizing the techniques which artists have cultivated over many years(*2) and discuss its in-house systems and the design of, in particular, the Cel-look and concept work pipelines which are built on the system infrastructure that has become necessary based on past experience.
Studio Phones will give a lecture explaining the collaboration between their in-house development for Cel-look purposes and for photorealistic purposes(*3) from the standpoint of concept work.
