photo-realistic image synthesis followed by a practical perspective on
existing algorithms and their performance as well as essential tricks
used in the challenging daily work of rendering professionals. The
speakers cover diverse backgrounds such as animation and VFX.
Level Advanced
Prerequisites
Basic mathematical understanding, interest in light transport and
movies. While prior knowledge certainly helps (such as having read the
PBRT book), we will try to give gentle introductions to every topic.
Intended Audience
Although advanced in nature, we want to engage a wide audience
including technical directors, artists, their producers and managers, as
well as researchers.
