SIGGRAPH 2019演讲视频
Crowd Workshop – PT 1: RIGGING | Louis-Philippe Clavet | SIGGRAPH 2019
It does not take an army of artists to make a crowd shot! This workshop is intended for generalists or small teams of versatile artists who wish to become familiar with the crowd toolset in Houdini.
This three-part workshop covers the key concepts of a usual crowd workflow. Starting with rigging, we will see how to draw bones, capture a geometry and create a digital asset from our rig. Then, we will animate our character, set up agents and simulate the crowd. Finally, we will light, shade and render our scene.

Science-Based Storytelling in Planetarium Show Production & Other Digital Media | Jerone Lapré |…
Jeroen Lapré, Senior Technical Director of the Visualization Studio at the California Academy of Sciences, talks about science-based storytelling for planetarium show production, and other media at the Academy. The “VIZ” Studio adapts tools and techniques from the film production, visual effects, digital animation, and real time computer graphics industries; to produce science media that is accessible to the general public. This talk covers how the procedural power of SideFX Houdini has become an important part of the studio pipeline over the years.
Jeroen Lapré, has held the role of Senior Technical Director of the Visualization Studio in the California Academy of Sciences since 2008. He led the research into and adoption of Houdini as a core tool for the Academy’s Visualization Studio. On the most recent planetarium production, Lapré has worked on the powers-of-ten dive into a coral—showing the community of polyps at the microscopic level to reveal the processes of symbiosis, photosynthesis, coral bleaching and spawning. A longtime Industrial Light & Magic veteran, in his personal time Jeroen is producing his own digital short film based on Arthur C. Clarke’s short story, “Maelstrom II.”

What is USD: A Primer | Rob Stauffer | SIGGRAPH 2019
Universal Scene Description (USD) is open source software designed to make it easier to “interchange and augment arbitrary 3D scenes that may be composed from many elemental assets.” This is going to have a profound affect on how studios build pipelines in the future and with SideFX Solaris working natively with USD, it will be an important part of working with Houdini. Let’s take a look at this new technology and how you can begin implementing it in your studio.
Rob Stauffer is a Senior Production Consultant at SideFX. He has over 20 years experience in computer graphics and visual effects. Rob started his career at Digital Domain and has worked at Sony Imageworks, Weta Digital, Asylum FX and most recently was an FX Supervisor at Rhythm and Hues. He has contributed to the FX of over 20 feature films including, “Lord Of The Rings: The Return of The King”, “Spiderman 2”, “X-Men:First Class”, “The Day After Tomorrow” and “Seventh Son”. Rob joined SideFX in 2013 where he educates new and existing clients on the features of Houdini. Consults with studios on their pipelines and where Houdini may fit in and explores new and future technologies within VFX,Games and VR.

Two tricks to make your Procedural Shading Workflow more Efficient | Oliver Markowski | SIGGRAPH…
Oliver will show you two techniques that made the procedural shading workflow at RISE much more efficient. First, he will talk about old-school texture-bombing. Even though this technique has been around for decades, it is massively under-utilized because there is no out-of-the-box support for it in any render-package. Oliver will demonstrate the RISE texture-bomber on two shots from the Amazon series “Beat” and show you how to implement it in VEX. In the second part you will learn how RISE implemented a fully automated texture-baking process for large scale production scenes. It consists of VOP nodes that define bake-points in your shading-tree, a SOP node to setup the bake and a bit of python that analyzes your current scene and builds up all the necessary baketexture ROPs.
Oliver Markowski is the CG Supervisor at RISE | Visual Effects Studios’ Munich facility. Before joining the RISE team, Oliver previously worked as a Freelancer for notable companies including Scanline, Trixter, Mackevision and Framestore. Oliver is an active board member of the German section of the Visual Effects Society and a proud self-dubbed geek who builds gadgets like his own low-budget mini light-stage for face scanning in his spare time.

谷歌翻译：
Oliver将向您展示两种技术，使RISE的程序着色工作流程更加高效。首先，他将谈论老派的纹理轰炸。尽管这种技术已经存在了几十年，但由于在任何渲染包中都没有开箱即用的支持，因此它被大量使用不足。 Oliver将在亚马逊系列剧“Beat”中展示RISE纹理轰炸机，并向您展示如何在VEX中实现它。在第二部分中，您将了解RISE如何为大规模生产场景实现全自动纹理烘焙过程。它由用于定义着色树中的烘焙点的VOP节点，用于设置烘焙的SOP节点和用于分析当前场景并构建所有必需的baketexture ROP的一些python组成。
Oliver Markowski是RISE |的CG主管Visual Effects Studios的慕尼黑工厂。在加入RISE团队之前，Oliver之前曾担任着名公司的自由撰稿人，包括Scanline，Trixter，Mackevision和Framestore。 Oliver是视觉效果协会德国部门的活跃董事会成员，也是一位自豪的自称为极客的极客，他在业余时间制作像他自己的低预算迷你灯光舞台一样的面部扫描工具。

Houdini Foundations: Pipeline in a Box | Robert Magee | SIGGRAPH 2019
The procedural nature of Houdini gives artists a built-in pipeline-in-a-box experience. In this presentation, Robert will introduce you to the nodes, networks and assets that define the core of this workflow which allows for multiple iterations and changes deep in production. He will also explore how tools such as Houdini Engine and PDG let you build a studio-level solution that makes proceduralism available to the whole pipeline.
Robert Magee is a Senior Product Marketing Manager at SideFX who has been working with Houdini for over 15 years. He has created lots of learning material such as the Houdini Foundations book which are designed to help artists get started with Houdini.
