@FMX13

Last thursday I had the great opportunity to visit the 3D conference FMX13 in Stuttgart, DE.

Renowned animation and VFX studios like The Mill or ILP were present and held their presentations about ongoing film projects as well as various hard- and software reseller and producer such as CADnetwork, 3Dpowerstore or Autodesk, MAXON and Adobe. I was able to render my own projects on hyper-potent workstations with 3ds Max and VRay and I got a good insight into realtime rendering as well with VRay RT, boosted by several nVidia Teslas K20 or GTX Titans. I could get good counsel from experts from CADnetwork and Chaos Group (VRay) too.

 

 

 

 

 

On the other hand there were several representatives of the 3D printer community and people from Laubwerk, a german developer of a very affordable solution in vegetation generation (free samples here).

In the afternoon I spent an hour in a hall, listening to a 3D artist from ILP who was speaking about the coming up film Kon Tiki and their breathtaking VFX work therein, fully rendered with VRay.

On the whole it was a very interesting day resulting in a full mind and tired legs and I hope that I am able to participate

in 2014 as well!
