SIGGRAPH 2013 Booth Highlights (Booth #315)
The MAXON booth will feature technology demonstrations highlighting the use of its acclaimed 3D creative tools, including CINEMA 4D and BodyPaint 3D, for broadcast motion graphics, feature film visual effects, video games, and multimedia workflows. Visitors will also see demonstrations of the new technologies from MAXON -CINEWARE and CINEMA 4D Lite - aimed at delivering a new level of integration between CINEMA 4D and Adobe After Effects.
The MAXON main stage promises to be the place for convention attendees to gain insight from some of today's most acclaimed 3D creative professionals who will reveal tips, techniques and workflow successes using CINEMA 4D on a wide variety of high profile projects.
Among the guest artists scheduled to present include:
- Nick Campbell, the online phenom behind Greyscalegorilla.com CINEMA 4D user and educator, will show off the new CINEWARE pipeline and how to use CINEMA 4D and After Effects together to make beautiful renders for a tightly integrated workflow from start to final render.
- Casey Hupke is a Los Angeles-based freelance VFX designer/animator known for his generative design esthetic and imaginative use of particle effects on projects for leading brands such as IBM, ATT, Coca Cola, and Buick, concert visuals for Nicki Minaj, and more. He will demystify and "get crazy" with X-Particles 2, the new, blazingly fast, full-featured particle and fluid effects plugin for CINEMA 4D users.
- Robert Haranitzky is a Munich, Germany-based motion graphics designer known for a wide range of projects, from showroom trailers to film projects and opening titles. He is credited with creating the video trailer for MAXON's new CINEWARE pipeline between CINEMA 4D and After Effects and will showoff the benefits of the new workflow as he creates several scenes that include the compositing of 3D objects on 3D tracked footage.
