Film Production Pipelines and Artist Techniques 6


The topic this time is to be modeling that focuses on things which are difficult to create using procedural modeling. At the meeting, we shall first provide an introduction to the concepts and fundamentals of procedural modeling. This will be followed by a discussion of the various adjustments to be made to the system in order to be able to implement this on the server side, as well as points of discussion. After this, we shall focus on various areas which remain unexplored territory from a procedural point of view, which, as procedures, are difficult to handle as algorithms, and which are still difficult to handle even by hand.

We should then like to shift focus to algorithmic structures which are capable of being transformed into containers and/or micro-services, taking server-side architecture into consideration. And we should like to discuss such things as the rate of change of algorithms which respond to various changes on the production side, also taking into consideration affinity with scheduling or job management which is effective in terms of computational resources within the server.

We plan to limit the number of attendees at this meeting in anticipation of the large amount of prior knowledge that will be required in order to be able to discuss skill reconciliation in terms of manual modeling techniques, as well as wide-ranging knowledge of the server side.

In these areas, we foresee interdisciplinary potential in connection to design systems that have been moved onto cloud services in recent years such as CAD or BIM as used in architecture, so we should like to encourage debate among the participants on the subject of these possibilities during the discussion time.
