GPU Rendering?

  • MASSIVE computational power (5x)
  • Small team
  • Small footprint
slide-8

GPU Tech Considerations

  • Memory ceiling concerns
  • GPU memory got really big
  • V-Ray RT addresses concerns

Doug Trumbull

  • Traditional 24 fps is not enough
  • Trying to usher in a new cinematic experience
  • Seeking content for his ‘MAGI’ format

Doug Trumbull - MAGI specs

  • 4K
  • Stereo
  • 60 fps/120 fps

How Do We Pull it Off?

  • NVIDIA VCA Cluster!

CONSTRUCT teaser in MAGI

  • A 14 minute frame on a single VCA = 9.5 hours
  • n a multi-core workstation running V-Ray on

a CPU

ADVANCING VIRTUAL PRODUCTION

  • Digital filmmaking with emphasis on real

time technologies and their creative benefits

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Performance Capture

  • Efficient way to

translate human performance onto virtual character

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Body Capture

  • Infrared sensors

track motion in the ‘volume’

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Virtual Camera Capture

  • Ability to capture a virtual camera concurrently
slide-28
SLIDE 28

Where current mocap failed me

  • Poor visual quality of performance in real time.
slide-29
SLIDE 29

What I wanted…

  • physically based rendering techniques at near 24 fps
  • COMPOSE in real time to PHOTOREALISTIC scenes
slide-30
SLIDE 30

REPLICATE REALITY at 24fps

so I can FILM it

What does this mean for Digital Filmmaking?

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Lighting/Shading in the volume...

  • Real world light and surface simulation

○ Physically accurate materials ○ Physically accurate lights

slide-34
SLIDE 34

Camera features now in the volume...

  • Real world camera parameters

○ Depth of Field/F-stop ○ Exposure ○ White Balance ○ Shutter angle ○ Field of View

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Creative Implications... A Hybrid CG/Live Action Experience

  • Replicate a live action workflow
  • Light in CG to inform live action (shifting influences)
  • Confident creative buyoffs
  • Organic, intuitive, SPONTANEOUS!

Scalability of the Workflow...

  • Same rendering algorithm at interactive FPS scales

to final production frame
