We minimize the difference between our face swap model output (extended for l ight invariance) and predicted animation parameters in a differentiable pi peline. Ou...\n\n\nJose Serra and Lucio Moser (Digital Domain)\n---------- -----------\nMachine Learning Meets Lighting: Using Depth Estimation To Bu ild The Light Rigs\n\nThis paper describes the techniques we use to build the complex light rigs in the Sony Pictures Imageworks lighting pipeline. Our process is semi-automatic and removes manual labour from the artists.\ n\n\nSergey Shlyaev (Sony Pictures Imageworks, Canada)\n------------------ ---\nAniDepth : Anime In-between Diffusion using Depth-guided Warped Line- art\n\nWe propose AniDepth, a novel anime in-betweening method using a vid eo diffusion model enhanced by converting anime illustrations into depth m aps. Guided by line-arts, our approach interpolates depth maps and colors to boost fidelity, temporal smoothness, and performance while seamlessly i ntegrating ...\n\n\nSosui Koga (Nara Institute of Science and Technology); Hiroyuki Kubo (Chiba University); Seitaro Shinagawa, Yuki Fujimura, and K azuya Kitano (Nara Institute of Science and Technology); Akinobu Maejima ( OLM Digital, Inc.; IMAGICA GROUP Inc.); and Takuya Funatomi and Yasuhiro M ukaigawa (Nara Institute of Science and Technology)\n--------------------- \nTowards AI-Driven 3D Creation at the Speed of Thought\n\nHow can generat ive AI seamlessly integrate into professional 3D workflows? This talk expl ores how vision-language models (VLMs) can automate tedious editing tasks, generate structured 3D scenes, and perform object placement while preserv ing editability. I’ll discuss key findings, open challeng...\n\n\nIan Huan g (Stanford University)\n\nInterest Area: Arts & Design, New Technologies, Production & Animation, Research & Education\n\nRecording: Livestreamed, Not Livestreamed, Recorded, Not Recorded\n\nKeyword: Animation, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Capture/Scanning, Computer Vision, Generat ive AI, Geometry, Image Processing, Lighting, Pipeline Tools and Work, Ren dering\n\nRegistration Category: Full Conference, Virtual Access, Thursday \n\nSession Chair: Nora Wixom (Apple) END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
