SUMMARY:Modelling Digi-Doubles with Scan Data
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Jan Jinda \nAbstract\nWorking from actor scan data is now a common task in the VFX and gaming industry. In this masterclass\, Jan Jinda will give you a quick but complete tour on how to go from a rough scan to a clean production-ready model. \nJan will first cover prepping the model and scan alignment by wrapping a base mesh to the scan data. He’ll then continue to make model tweaks to bring the geometry to a ready state for texturing and rigging. He’ll also cover testing the model with a series of FACS expression shapes to ensure it is fit for deformation and animation. \nCreating a production-ready model from a scan may seem easy\, but without a solid workflow in place\, it can be tricky to get right. Join us for this ‘digi-double’ workflow fly-through where you’ll be able to see industry techniques at play\, and worthy tips and tricks to help push your assets to the next level. \nSign up here!

SUMMARY:Face the FACS
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Melinda Ozel \nAbstract\nMelinda specializes in the art and science of facial expressions. Using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) as a descriptive device\, she teaches artists\, engineers\, and researchers how to build and break down facial movements and emotions. \nShe’s passionate about sharing her knowledge\, mitigating false face news\, and giving people the tools they need to create or track salient expressions. Her expertise applies to any level of realism and stylization as well as any type of face – from human to creature or object.\nOn the tech side\, she’s been working on real-time face tracking since 2016 for applications such as expression tracking for avatar puppeteering and emotion detection technology. \nWebsite: https://melindaozel.com/ \nSign up here!
