In this presentation, Paul will discuss the value of using 3D printers in Business during the design, concept, and functionality testing stages of a new product. The focus is on Return on Investment (ROI) and better products done right… the first time.

Nelia Mazula, Senior Strategic Planner at Dassault Systemes, discusses interactive 3D visualization tools used in the Oil & Gas industry.

This talk will focus on the art of character animation and a good character rig, how a good rig will enhance the character animation process.

After attending this presentation, you should have an understanding of the importance of a good character rig vs. good character animation: what makes a good custom rig and how it can save you time and headaches. You will also understand our animation process at Bouncing Pixel, our custom scripts which aid use in our pipeline and how we work in a team environment.

Tips and tricks from a 3D generalist for creating the final image. From materials and shaders, to lighting, to render engines, to image formats, to compositing and post production, we will cover all aspects of creating better looking renderings. 

In a darkened room on the fourth floor of Texas A&M’s Langford Architecture Center, construction science students using Building Information Modeling software can navigate through the bowels of a virtual building while visually immersed amid an array of 12 46 inch monitors.

Unveiled at an Oct. 10 2012 ribbon cutting event, the TAMU Department of Construction Science's newest facility, the “BIM-CAVE,” provides a unique high-tech vantage point for viewing details of an imagined building and its infrastructure, including heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, plumbing, electrical and other systems. “BIM CAVE” is an acronym for “Building Information Modeling Computer-Aided Virtual Environment.”

Come learn about the BIM CAVE from Dr. Julian Kang, holder of the History Maker Homes Endowed Professorship at A&M.
