At FMX 2014, Chaos Group plans to showcase how V-ray supports VFX students and indie filmmakers across the globe. Student teams and professional artists are using 3ds Max and Maya to show people how new improvements to V-ray 3.0 are used in these programs on film and animation projects. They are also showing people how students can get a leg up in the field.
When students stop by the Chaos Group booth, they can meet with representatives, see V-ray for Blender in action, and try out both versions of V-ray 3.0 in the FMX marketplace. Miguel Ortega and Tran Ma, makers of Green Ruby Pumpkin, will be giving speeches on how their team approaches creature design on The Ningyo. Blake Sweeney, CG Supervisor of Method studios, will do a demonstration of the invisible effects used in the mirror sequence on the film Divergent.
Students will also be able to hear Sweeney talk about studios benefiting from V-ray’s advanced ray tracing capabilities. Sweeney also worked on Robocop and Iron Man 3; during a special lecture session, he will give insight into how students can make a great portfolio and successfully approach blockbuster film work. Peter Mitev, CEO of Chaos Group, will discuss how GPU-accelerated V-Ray RT 3.0 rendering is establishing a new paradigm for filmmaking.
