Product Note: VFX Prime 2018-19 Course Code: OV-3103 Course Category : Career VFX INDUSTRY Indian VFX Industry grew from INR 2,320 Crore in 2016 to reach INR 3,130 Crore in 2017.The Industry is expected to grow nearly double to INR 6,350 Crore by 2020. Where reality meets and blends with the imaginary, it is there that VFX begins. The demand for VFX has been rising relentlessly with the production of movies and television shows set in fantasy worlds with imaginary creatures like dragons, magical realms, extra-terrestrial planets and galaxies, and more. VFX can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. Have you ever been fascinated by films like Transformers, Dead pool, Captain America, Spiderman, etc.? Then you must know that a number of Visual Effects are used in these films. Now the VFX industry is on the verge of changing with the introduction of new tools, new concepts, and ideas. Source:* FICCI-EY Media & Entertainment Report 2018 INDUSTRY TRENDS VFX For Television Episodic Series SONY Television's Show PORUS showcases state-of-the-art Visual Effects to be seen on Television.

In 1992, Helbing suggested that people could be acting like gas particles, making a comparison between an individual state and the different states gases have according to the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. ← Myriad II Existing crowd models The macroscopic approach This approach was then ehanced with more complex models : Predtechenshkii and Milinskii suggested a model to estimate the local density of a flow of people and it’s propagation between blocs : The conflagration model from Takahashi, Tanaka and Kose, cuts infrastructures into different kinds of generic areas, then it computes the maximal time required for the evacuation of each area according to the room obstruction : Existing crowd models The macroscopic approach Strenght and weakness : => Can be used for sequences with thousands individuals for a low cost. => Easy to set up. => Very fast to compute. => Almost exclusively designed for the simulation of massive evacuations of buildings.

Final Report, Blend'it Project
Final report, Blend'it project Benjamin Boisson, Guillaume Combette, Dimitri Lajou, Victor Lutfalla, Octave Mariotti,∗ Raphaël Monat, Etienne Moutot, Johanna Seif, Pijus Simonaitis 2015-2016 Abstract The goal of this project, Blend'it, was to design two open-source plug-ins for Blender, which is a computer graphics software. These two plug-ins aim to help artists creating complex environments. The rst of these plug-in should be able to realistically animate crowds, and the other one to design static environments by making dierent elements such as rivers and mountains automatically interact to produce realistic scenes. Although this kind of software is already developed in the Computer Graphics industry, there are often unavailable to the public and not free. ∗was abroad during the second semester, he did not contributed to the second part of the project Contents 1 Introduction 2 1.1 Objectives . .2 1.2 State of the art . .3 1.3 Team . .3 1.4 Choice of Blender. .4 1.5 Structure of the project . .4 2 Blender exploration team 5 2.1 Blender discovery . .5 2.2 Unitary tests . .5 2.3 Code coverage . .5 2.4 Code organization . .5 3 Crowd plug-in 6 3.1 Human animation . .6 3.2 Path generation . .6 3.2.1 Implementation . .6 3.3 Path interpolation in Blender . .8 3.3.1 Creating a path . .8 3.4 GUI . .8 3.4.1 The Map Panel . .9 3.4.2 The Crowd Panel . .9 3.4.3 The Simulation Panel . .9 4 Environment plug-in 11 4.1 Overview .

Their development highly relies on benchmarking scenarios, which enable reliable evaluations/improvements of their efficiencies. Presently, benchmarking methods for tracking and action-recognition algorithms rely on manual annotation of video databases, prone to human errors, limited in size and time-consuming. Here, using gained experiences, an alternative benchmarking solution is presented, which employs methods and tools obtained from the computer-game domain to create simulated video data with automatic annotations. Presented approach highly outperforms existing solutions in the size of the data and variety of annotations possible to create.

A Review of Software for Crowd Simulation
A REVIEW OF SOFTWARE FOR CROWD SIMULATION Author: Thomas Richards, Data Science Intern, Leeds Institute for Data Science (LIDA), University of Leeds. AIM To review a number of different software libraries and platforms that can be used to create agent- based pedestrian simulations, in particular to find a library that will allow us to use data assimilation to update the state of the model at runtime. METHOD Search Google, GitHub, SourceForge, Wikipedia etc, and personal suggestions/recommendations. Priorities are software which: 1. able to run agent-based pedestrian simulations; 2. is open source; 3. is modular/accessible; 4. Allows run-time intervention (e.g. to add, change, remove agents whilst simulation is running); 4. uses a language popular with the research team, namely Python and/or Java. Software that have not been updated or appear to be no longer supported, have no documentation, or are unsuitable have been included in the list so that there is a record they have been checked but may not include much detail. Sections for software which was not short listed may be incomplete. RESULTS Models are given a rating out of three *’s. Note that these ratings indicate the suitability of the software for the research project. They are not a general assessment of the quality of the software; we do not suggest that a library with a high rating is inherently better than one with a low rating, just that it may be more suitable for use in the DUST project. If the authors of the software would like us to amend any inaccuracies or errors with respect to their software we will be happy to.
