SUMMARY:Crossing Dimensions: Virtual Productions and Characters
DESCRIPTION:Crafting Expressive, Non-Humanoid Alien Characters\n\nThis tal
 k examines the challenges and innovations in designing and rigging non-hum
 anoid alien characters with unconventional anatomies for Pixar’s Elio. The
  team explored creatures with limbless, multi-segmented, and fluid bodies,
  requiring novel animation and rigging solutions.\n\n\nKevin Singleton, Da
 niela Dwek, Ozgur Aydogdu, and Anthony Muscarella (Pixar Animation Studios
 )\n---------------------\nDigital Meets Handmade: Can VP enhance stop-moti
 on?\n\nAn R&D initiative within Aardman Animations exploring VP technologi
 es for stop-motion film making. Taking a holistic view of VP from story de
 velopment through to delivery. Utilising real-time tools, digital twins, a
 nd a cross platform XR sandbox. Striving to evolve traditional processes, 
 enhancing c...\n\n\nDavid Gray (Aardman Animations, Virtual Pixels); Eve B
 olotova and Leon Cresdee (Aardman Animations); and Jonah Ling (University 
 of Bristol)\n---------------------\nFrom storytelling to story making: Int
 eractive techniques to creating immersion in public spaces.\n\nImmersion m
 ay be ancient, but creating collective, interactive experiences  remains a
  challenge even today. Opaque interfaces, cognitive overload, and co-prese
 nce can hinder engagement. Through case studies, this talk explores practi
 cal frameworks for leveraging real-time engines, novel HCI, and lar...\n\n

 -----\nFabricating Stop Motion Creatures Using CG Grooms\n\nOur groundbrea
 king groom pipeline for LAIKA's "Wildwood" revolutionizes stop-motion pupp
 et fabrication through CG-assisted silicone casting. By leveraging the VFX
  team's 3D models and digital grooms, we were able to scale to the needs o
 f this epic feature, while providing anisotropic characteristics...\n\n\nM
