    Aleksandrs Polozuns Computer Graphics in Cinematography Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Media Engineering Thesis 18 April 2013 Abstract Author(s) Aleksandrs Polozuns Title Title of the Thesis Number of Pages 44 pages Date 18 April 2013 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Programme Media Engineering Specialisation option Audiovisual Technology Instructor(s) Erkki Aalto, Head of Degree Programme The purpose of this thesis was to cover the major characteristics about different tech- niques presently used in the field of CG and visual effects by giving a variety of examples from the famous movies. Moreover, the history of visual effects and CGI, and how the de- velopment process of it changed the industry of cinematography were studied. The practi- cal part of this study is dedicated to analyzing what modern software are the most popular ones among professionals. Several studios were surveyed to find out the most preferred contemporary software for production of CG and visual effects in the motion picture among Finnish based and international studios. The second part of this thesis covers a project which aimed at finding a solution for one of the contemporary motion graphics techniques. A modern method was used for production of VFX, in particular 3D compositing, by which a 3D character is implemented into a real video footage. For 3D compositing four different software– 3Ds Max, Boujou, Photoshop and After Effects were used. As a result of this thesis the leaders among the software de- signed for motion graphics used

Tel 01327 341184 Mobile 07790 368575 Career Synopsis I have been working as an independent CG Director and Animator for the last 17 years. Having worked in IT, Games and Post Production. As a Designer I worked for just over 3 years as a Web Design Manager for a large corporate, in Games I have managed teams as a Lead Artist and Lead Animator and in Post I have set-up production pipelines and departments at both Pinewood and Shepperton Studios. I enjoy working with other artists and animators and I’m very passionate about anything I do. Over the last few years I have used 3dsmax, Maya, Lightwave, Modo and Softimage Xsi in production in both industries. I have also directed motion capture shoots using 2 of the biggest facilities in the uk, (Audio Motion and Centroid 3d). I have experience in taking this data and editing it in both Softimage Xsi using Motor and 3dsmax using Character Studio. My strongest skills are in Character Set-up and Animation Direction but I consider myself to be a experienced generalist having worked in all areas of production and design . I have also done a fair amount of Offline editing using Final Cut. More recently I have Directed and Produced my own project “The Adventures of Raz and Benny”. I have also produced commercials and VFX material and enjoy these challenges on a day to day basis. Summary of Skills Modelling for Animation - Xsi, Maya , 3dsmax, Modo & Lightwave 3D.

  • System for Manipulation of Data Gathered During the 3D Tracking Process of Foam Blocks
    FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO System for manipulation of data gathered during the 3D tracking process of foam blocks Paulo Miguel Curto Marú Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Electrotécnica e de Computadores Supervisor: Marco Silva FEUP Supervisor: Aníbal Matos October 3, 2017 Resumo Ao longo da história, o homem sentiu a necessidade de continuar a evoluir de modo a maximizar o rendimento dos recursos. Do caçador-coletor até ao homem civilizado dos nossos dias, houve um grande salto que se deve apenas à necessidade. Os avanços em ciência e tecnologia permitiram uma sociedade cada vez mais eficiente. Em particular, o setor industrial que tem foco na produção e pretende minimizar o desperdício, automatizar a produção e, portanto, aumentar o lucro. A análise e manipulação de dados é uma ferramenta eficaz para resolver muitos problemas relacionados com indústria, mas também pode melhorar um sistema que não tinha soluções ante- riormente, principalmente devido à falta de tecnologia específica. Esta dissertação aborda esse problema ao analisar um conjunto de dados totalmente novo que esá a ser adquirido através de uma nova ferramenta que é capaz de retornar coordenadas tridimensionais de pontos detectados por uma combinação de laser e câmara. Esta implementação de uma nova tecnologia está a permitir informações mais complexas e detalhadas, garantindo fiabilidade em cada etapa do processo. O tema de estudo será focado essencialmente na representação 3D. É um dos assuntos mais complexos desta dissertação, dado que foram feitos poucos esforços para melhorar esta tecnologia a nível de programação. A otimização também é um foco principal, uma vez que garante que o processo seja melhorado e, portanto, cumpre o objetivo principal de qualquer empresa industrial.

  • Quadremesher™ – User Documentation
    QuadRemesher™ – User Documentation QuadRemesher™ is an automatic Quad-remeshing algorithm. It’s available as plugins for 3D DCC softwares such as: - Autodesk® 3ds Max® Software. - Autodesk® Maya® Software. - Foundry® Modo® Software - Blender® Software - MAXON Cinema4D® Software - Side Effects Houdini® Software. QuadRemesher™ allows to perform a quad-remeshing from any input mesh in a single-click. It takes as input a mesh made of triangles or polygons and return a mesh mainly composed of quadrangles following natural directions. You can find tutorial and video on www.exoside.com It’s compatible with these versions: - Modo : from modo 10, for Windows and macOS - Maya : from Maya 2012 for Windows and macOS - 3ds Max: from 3ds Max 2016 - Blender : from Blender 2.80 - Houdini : tested on Houdini 17.0 and higher (should work well on previous versions) - Cinema4D: compatible with Cinema4D R14 and higher. You can find the list of improvements in all version of QuadRemesher in this document: QuadRemesher_WhatsNew.pdf Here are some examples of the user-interfaces of the plugins: QuadRemesher for 3ds Max QuadRemesher for Maya QuadRemesher for modo. QuadRemesher for Houdini QuadRemesher for Blender QuadRemesher for C4D A – Installation and Activation A.1 – Installation The installation process is different for each DCC software. QuadRemesher is using the usual way for installing plugins depending on each software. For instance: QuadRemesher for modo provides a .lpk file that you simply drag-and-drop in modo. QuadRemesher for 3ds Max provides a .mzp file that you simply drag-and-drop in 3DS Max. QuadRemesher for Maya provides a .zip file that you can open and put content in Maya’s plugin path (C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins on Windows) QuadRemesher for Cinema4D needs you to copy the zip content in the folder dedicated to C4D plugins.
