The visual effects and animation landscape is changing faster than ever, shaped by real-time tools, AI-assisted workflows, and increasingly global productions. This SIGGRAPH Cape Town session brings together industry professionals working at the forefront of these shifts, sharing practical insights from real projects and pipelines.
Across three talks, we will explore how hybrid workflows are redefining the role of the artist, how large-scale productions are managed across continents and massive datasets, and how real-time animation is bridging the gap between creative direction and technical execution.
