Foundry invites you to their event
About this event
It’s no secret: machine learning (ML) has been on the rise in the visual effects (VFX) industry for the past few years. With its increased popularity comes an opportunity for a more streamlined and efficient way of working. As part of the recent Nuke 13.0 release, Foundry has integrated a new suite of machine learning tools including CopyCat—a plug-in that allows artists to train neural networks to create custom effects for their own image-based tasks.
Bringing you examples from some popular names in the industry, we’re excited to host an exclusive panel with founder of Kognat, Sam Hodge, founder of Kaldera OÜ Hendrik Proosa and Mads Hagbarth Damsbo, Owner of Higx who will be going through their experiments using CopyCat in Nuke 13.0. Each panelist will cover their personal experiments, best practices and what they think the future holds for machine learning. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions to the panelists.
