Gnomon School of Visual Effects is proud to host
Craft Animations launch in the USA!
Thursday, January 10th
6:00pm – 9:00pm
Come see why leading VFX houses are depending on Craft Animations Director Tools for some of their most challenging animation projects. Speed Animation™ is by far the most amazing concept of plug-ins you’ve ever encountered. With calculations for the laws of physics such as movements, speed, inertia, acceleration, air and surface resistance in our unique modularized software, Craft has created a growing library of true to life moving objects and cameras including Pre-Rigged Solutions.
Join us for an introduction to Craft and a tech talk by the creator of Director Tools, and CTO of Craft Animations, Luigi Tramontana, Mark Noland of Autodesk demonstrates the new features of 3ds Max 2008, as well as a very special presentation from Andrew Roberts from Digital Dimensions. Andrew will present on the importance of realistic motion in visual effects, and more specifically about their reasons for choosing Craft Animations for their latest project,
“Get Smart.”
