Comments - Week of 10 April, 2005

question - is there a HW 7 or not? It is still listed on the course outline but the link take you to HW 1-6 (no 7 listed)
There will be no HW7 this semester. Sorry for any confustion. Greg Leo
why does it take so long to get our grades back on hw's and labs?
If you are having problems getting your grades, email your TA and ask them to grade the assignment. Kelly Lyons
doing that doesn't appear to be working... no grade for the last 3 assignments.
Well then I would suggest emailing the Head TA or the professor, but I can assure you that at the moment, both are well aware of the issue and are working to correct it. And we apologize for the delay. Kelly Lyons
"The Incredible Technology behind the making of 'The Incredibles'"

Wayne Wooten (GA Tech and GVU Alum, CoC Ph.D., 1998)
Pixar Animation Studios

2 p.m. - 3 p.m.
Thursday, April 21, 2005
CCB 16

Abstract:
Pixar has developed some of the world's most advanced techniques for generating computer animated feature films, recently receiving two Oscars for, "The Incredibles." In this talk, I plan to discuss the rendering research and development that occurs at Pixar and the techniques behind the feature film production process. My talk will touch on a number of topics that students should master in order to be attractive candidates for the feature film industry. Sequences from Pixar's latest film, "The Incredibles" will be used as a case study for presenting the various pieces of technology required to create the final product.

Bio:
Wayne Wooten works in the RenderMan Tools group at Pixar Animation Studios. He works as a member of the research and development team at Pixar to develop new rendering software for use on animated feature films. His film credits include a "A Bug's Life," "Toy Story 2," "Monster's Inc." and "Finding Nemo." Wayne's recent film credit is for "The Incredibles," where he helped develop new rendering techniques for many effects in the film. Wayne currently works for Pixar in Seattle and is busy developing new rendering techniques for Pixar's next movie "Cars."

Wayne received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1998. His graduate research at the Animation Lab involved generating motion for computer animated human athletes by using control systems in combination with physically realistic dynamic simulation.

These are always great! Mark Guzdial

Is it possible to have one review during next Thursday's breakout, AND to have another review closer to the May 6 final exam?
yes can we have a separate review session? The review sessions for the midterms took 3 hours each, so i dont see how we could review the whole semester in 1.5 hours.
My office hours are from 6-9 on Tuesday directly after my breakout time. *hint, hint*
For those who didn't make "The Incredibles" talk – the languages that Pixar used to use for making their movies was C and Perl, but they're moving all to C++ and...PYTHON!!! See! It really is a real language! Mark Guzdial
when will the review be posted?
