In February 2017, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences honored Carl Ludwig, Eugene Troubetzkoy, and Maurice van Swaaij with a Sci-Tech Award "for the pioneering development of theCGIStudio renderer at Blue Sky Studios." It's in the same year that Blue Sky celebrates the 30 year anniversary of CGIStudio. Its early charge into ray tracing and global illumination demonstrated their feasibility for visual effects and animation - Blue Sky Studios' Ice Age (2002) was the first ray-traced animated feature film. For this panel we gather a few of the pioneers for a moderated discussion on how Blue Sky managed, in the early days, to challenge the industry's conventional practice of CG production. Joining this panel will be CTO and visionary behind CGIStudio Carl Ludwig, Academy Award winning Directors Chris Wedge and John Kahrs and Academy Sci-Tech Award recipient Hilmar Koch.
2017年2月，美国电影艺术与科学学院授予Carl Ludwig、Eugene Troubetzkoy和Maurice van Swaaij科学技术奖，以表彰他们“在蓝天工作室开创性地开发了gistudio渲染器”。同年，Blue Sky迎来了CGIStudio成立30周年。光线追踪技术和全局照明技术的早期应用证明了它们在视觉效果和动画上的可行性——蓝天工作室的《冰河世纪》(2002)是第一部光线追踪的动画长片。在这个小组中，我们聚集了一些先行者，就《蓝天》在早期如何挑战CG制作的行业传统做法进行了适度的讨论。CTO和CGIStudio背后的梦想家Carl Ludwig，奥斯卡奖获奖导演Chris Wedge和John Kahrs以及奥斯卡科技奖获得者Hilmar Koch将加入这个小组。

America's Mercury Space Program mastered orbital flight after a series of daunting challenges, including test rockets that exploded on launch pads. Astronauts riding on Redstone and Atlas rockets were risking their lives before all the unknowns could be answered.

The panel proposes a town hall discussion to establish desiderata for submission of nifty assignments to CGEMS, the Computer Graphics Educational Materials Source (EG Digital Library with access through the ACM Digital Library). In a nutshell, CGEMS is looking for computer graphics assignments (curricular material) that (a) are of high quality, (b) are straightforward to use and incorporate in class by educators, and (c) fit easily into the computer graphics curricular framework, e.g., that of the ACM. Among topics to discuss is the expected CGEMS paper submission format and accompanying practical material (e.g., code).

Computer generated hair has historically been a challenging element in the feature film and visual effects industry. Technology and workflow challenges in authoring, animation, simulation, shading, lighting and rendering have motivated studios and software companies to invest in tools and techniques to address the evergrowing creative appetite for hair to deliver captivating stylized and/or realistic characters. To deliver on the creative demand, some feature production studios have specialized hair production across multiple workflows-visual development, rigging, simulation, and lighting to name a few. Has this divided approach to solving a visually holistic challenge affected the tools choices and the way we invest in our toolsets? This panel will bring together engineers and artists representing various areas of expertise to provide a summary of their day to day relationship with hair. They will describe some of the big challenges and their solutions, as well as any issues still outstanding. From there we will dive into some of the commonalities and outliers to better understand how we have arrived at our current state and ultimately what the future is for CG hair, from a technology, workflow, and organizational points of view.

Since 1931, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has honored the inventors and developers of the technology behind the movies. Earlier this year, 18 different technologies were awarded, honoring 34 individuals. These technologies have had a significant impact on how movies are made and have stood the test of time.
