VR is a game-changer for enhancing traditional experiences by immersing them in virtual environments. From bringing art exhibitions to life and intensifying gaming thrills to providing peaceful spaces for mindfulness and therapy, VR transforms the way we engage with content. Our latest case study showcases how our partner, MACK One, is adding a new dimension to theme park experiences with VR. We worked closely together to bring a new spin to one of Europa-Park’s most famous attractions: Cassandra’s Curse. Using the VIVE Focus 3, which shines in a multi-user environment, we were able to help Mack One breathe new life into a beloved attraction by adding a new VR element to the experience 🥽 Europa Park, Germany’s largest theme park which sees over 6 million yearly visitors, has seen the experience garner rave reviews, proving that VR could be the key to extending the lifespan of theme park experiences, not just replacing them.

Time Fracture II - Unreal Engine 5.4 Epic Games “As humans struggled with adjusting to the challenges of a high altitude and sudden temporal anomalies, we deployed our bots to investigate the upper regions of this sentient structure. The only problem was the structure’s selective platform access, composed of a mix of concrete blocks, coffered slabs, planters, and scattered rocks, housing a unique and self-contained ecosystem. What was it leading them to?” All the architecture/environment has been set up using PCG (Procedural Content Generation) Using VDB’s from Embergen JangaFX Custom assets modeled in 3Ds Max and Houdini.

Would you like to learn how to develop alter-egos, characters, and avatars in your music, creating narratives and visual identities in your artistic universe? Join the free #workshop with artists Vita Dosa and Francesca Burattelli: Crafting Your Musical Alter-Ego & Visual Narrative as an ethnic and gender minority artist. The focus will be on how, as an ethnic or gender-minority artist, one can take control over the narratives (and eventual misconceptions/ misrepresentations) created around one's artistic persona, being subject to a societal discourse about ‘otherness’. The workshop will be divided into two aspects: 1. Concept development and reflection 2. Practical work in a photo studio, developing images and video. To register and for more info contact ✉️ [email protected] 📌 Workshop dates: Monday May 6th, 10:00-15:00 Thursday May 9th, 10:00-15:00 Monday May 13th, 10:00-15:00

https://lnkd.in/dK8UGTsa Take a look at the process video showcasing our work on the #ChefPinocchio animation project for Honestly Italian Pvt. Ltd. The animation process included initial rough blocking of the character, followed by line clean-up, coloring, texturing with wooden lines, and then adding lip sync and lighting effects. Afterwards, the character was seamlessly composited into the frame, and we roto'd the foreground elements above the character, to enhance the overall visual appeal. . . . #roto #rotoscopy #processvideo #animation #animationprocess #processvideo #processdetails #2danimation #2d #animated #animationvideo

While we anxiously wait for Skynet to replace Hollywood (haha?). There’s still animation done by hand and now is the best time to really take a honest look at your reel. I just want to share this incredible acting reference from fellow copilot Alessio Paolo Mizzan. We decided to add a closeup subtle shot that has real empathy and emotional depth. Deep diving into the subtext and what the character is really thinking and feeling. Truly inspiring acting (he is a trained actor). Stay tuned for the blocking pass post soon. Amazing! I know there’s a lot of fear and anxiety around AI and the state of the business. But great animators will always be demand to show humanity the human condition. It's what bonds us. What makes us… us. No machine can get close to this. If you’re tried and stressed out staring at your reel wondering how you can separate it from the crowd, send me your reel to me here or head over to www.animcopilot.com. The reel review and feedback plan is free. Don’t let the state of things keep you down. Now is the time to make a change. Let’s fly…. #Animation #Animator #3DAnimator #CharacterAnimation #CreatureAnimation #LearnAnimation #AnimationSchool #ArtEducation #DigitalArt #ArtClasses

💡 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗶: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗫𝗥 - 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Today, we’re going to post about Alessio Grancini who stands out for his unique transition from architecture to XR/AR/VR technology. His journey highlights the challenges and triumphs of integrating traditional architectural skills with cutting-edge digital technology. 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗫𝗥 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 Alessio’s path began in Italy, where he studied architecture. His ambition led him to the U.S., where he attended SCI-Arc (Southern California Institute of Architecture) in Los Angeles. As an international student, he navigated visa challenges, cultural adjustments, and the competitive landscape of the tech industry. “Being an international student added layers of complexity to my journey. Navigating visa requirements and adapting to a new culture were significant challenges, but they also pushed me to work harder and build a robust portfolio.” During his studies, Alessio’s interest in XR grew as he saw the potential to combine architectural visualization with immersive technology. Alessio recalls that “initially, XR technology was quite rudimentary, with few tools available, I learned through many projects in school and internships at game companies. It was a challenging but rewarding journey.” Transforming his career from architecture to XR wasn’t easy. Alessio had to learn coding, often relying on tools like Unity that provided visual interfaces similar to architectural software. He watched tutorials, completed projects for practice, and took on internships to gain practical experience. Alessio’s impressive portfolio eventually led him to work on high-profile projects with leading companies like Nike and Morphosis. His work for Morphosis, showcased at Milan Design Week, involved an AR app that allowed users to modify architectural assets interactively. 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗫𝗥 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 & 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 “Continuously learn and explore new tools. Adaptability is key in the fast-evolving XR landscape.” “Also, your portfolio is your most important asset when starting out,” Alessio advises. “Invest significant time and effort into it, and be prepared to showcase your work professionally.” Visit Alessio’s portfolio for guidance 👀 https://lnkd.in/gXhGPyuK #XR #AR #VR #Innovation #ArchitectureToTech #CareerTransition #DigitalTransformation #CreativeTech #XRDesign #Portfolio #TechJourney #Adaptability #InternationalStudent #ArchitecturalVisualization #Unity3D #MilanDesignWeek #CareerAdvice

✨First Cover of Ella Maru Studio Inc for Journal of Controlled Release! ✨ 🔮 Predicting Liposome Structure 💻 This cover highlights the fascinating research by Remo Eugster and Paola Luciani along with contributions from Simone Aleandri, Luca Casettari, Mattia Tiboni, Nicola Serafini, Markus Orsi. The study leverages #MachineLearning to optimize the microfluidic production of liposomes—tiny but powerful systems that play a critical role in drug delivery. Liposomes are highly adaptable, capable of changing size, shape, and releasing cargo on demand. The researchers developed predictive models that reliably forecast liposome size and production parameters, paving the way for more personalized and precise drug delivery solutions. To reflect this concept, our cover art focuses on dynamic, liposomal structures that evolve in form and function, symbolizing their adaptability and versatility 🎈 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ePCzfm6w Controlled Release Society, University of Bern, Reymond Group #DrugDelivery #Liposomes #sciart #science #scientific_illustration #chemistry #medicine #ellamaru #sciencegirl #sci_artist #sci_design #cover #scientific_cover #medicalartist #phd #phdlife

'Transform', shape changing furniture by MIT media lab. Quite a depiction also of where our social feeds and digital content are heading:   AI is quickly becoming the main tool for the creation of texts, images and designs. In which users tell the systems what to create. But that's an intermediary phase. The more fundamental shift is one in which AIs will create without our detailed instructions. And change content on the spot.   That future is here. Last week Meta introduced their 'Imagined for you' project at the Meta Connect Event. Idea is that images on your Facebook or Instagram feed are generated by AI instantly. For you, based on your data. This is a shift that will occur in all sort fields where content creation and design come into play.   It's not necessarily a bad thing. Creation will change, away from craftmanship to working more on a conceptual level, setting the boundaries for the systems. As long as the creating systems connect to deep human stories, concepts, or emotions, they can lead to interesting output. Maybe even art.   Where it becomes problematic, is when the systems do their thing based on the statistics that drive our social media. Being triggered by flat impulses, click bait and polarization. Leading to content increasingly finetuned to get you in matching states a mind. A development therefore to be critical about and push back against.   The shape changing table 'Transform' was created in 2014. More prophetic about an upcoming future than its makers probably ever imagined (for you).
