From Pixels to Perfection: Exploring AI Graphics
Step into the vibrant world of AI-driven graphic design, where every pixel holds the potential for perfection. Here, art meets algorithm, creating a unique fusion that transforms basic digital elements into stunning visual masterpieces.
What aspect of AI-driven design intrigues you the most? Let's discuss in the comments below!
Learn about the fascinating world of computer graphics with our latest video!
Discover the fundamental differences between interactive and non-interactive computer graphics. Interactive graphics involve user input and two-way communication, allowing for control and output customization. On the other hand, non-interactive graphics are passive and not user-controlled, often seen in screensavers or predetermined TV actions. Additionally, explore the role of input, processing, and output components in computer graphics, and gain insights into the function of graphic libraries in rendering and displaying images on screen.

Way back in 1996, I was a market analyst following the nascent 3D graphics chip market. Among my "claim to fame" memories is when the founders of nVidia, just 2 years into their founding, met me in my Scottsdale office to convince me they were a serious player. This was routine for startups, so of course, I was skeptical.
Nevertheless, I did know and forecast the 3D chip market would grow like a tech-market hockey stick. Which, of course, it did.
What I couldn't have possibly imagined, is that 27 years later, AI models using nVidia chips would be able to do this within seconds, in response to a 94-word prompt. Amazing.

And the Oscar Goes to….Engineers!
Every year, before the Oscars Ceremony, the Academy honors the engineers who make our cinematic experience possible. This year we were on the red-carpet of the Sci-Tech Awards talking to the masterminds behind the big screens, sound systems and more.
Our first award winner is Pixar! Pixar created the Universal Scene Description (USD) - the first open-source software that can easily exchange 3D scenes. It can handle lots of different assets, sources and animations, making it great for teamwork. USD is the foundation for everything in Pixar films: all the characters, places, and images rely on USD technology. Engineers and artists work together to utilize USD to bring their imagination and ideas to life, from Toy Story to Up to Inside Out.
Our next winner is OpenVDB. OpenVDB is a C++ library and open source tool that helps create special effects and handles large 3D data grids (like in movies) efficiently. It creates an infinite 3D index space while still offering fast data access. Created by DreamWorksAnimation engineers Ken Museth, Peter Cukca, David Hill, and Mihai Aldén, it’s great for tasks like filtering and simulation.
We can’t forget that Kodak had to engineer a brand new 65mm film stock camera for the black and white #oppenheimermovie sequences! Cinematographer #HoyteVanHoytema and director #ChristopherNolan used a large-format IMAX camera, which has never been done before, to make the #Oppenheimer story come to life. To achieve a more intimate picture, Nolan redefined portraits and closeups for 70mm IMAX, dividing the film into different perspectives and timelines.
Last but not least, the PrismlessLaser Projector by IMAX won a #SciTechAward2024 for its pioneering utilization of semiconductor lasers. It removes prisms from the laser light path to create the high brightness and contrast required for IMAX theaters, making our movies bigger, brighter and clearer!

I'm sharing this video that demonstrates how to use Apple's FaceLit, a new 3D face generation model from 2D images. FaceLit employs a neural volume representation and a Phong reflectance model to craft realistic, relightable faces. It can produce photorealistic face images comparable to or better than real photos, adaptable to varying lighting and viewpoints. What's more, FaceLit doesn't necessitate manual annotations or complex setups, and its open-source code is available on GitHub. This tool has a wide range of applications, including entertainment, social media, gaming, security, and education.

W1 Curates mission is to promote and sustain contemporary art by fostering new artistic trends. In support of artists, that wish to integrate art as a social and heritage value in the urban landscape.
What is generative art?
Generative art is a form of art where the artist creates a system, often using algorithms or rules, which then autonomously produces artwork. This allows the artist to set up parameters that guide the creation process, allowing for an almost infinite variety of outcomes.
Joshua Davis is a promiment figure within this space. He first gained recognition in the early 2000s for his innovative use of code to create visually stunning and dynamic graphics.
Through his work, Davis continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with generative art, exploring the intersection of technology, creativity, and human expression.
’The V01D’ represents Davis’s exploration of the creative potential of generative algorithms and their ability to produce visually stunning and conceptually rich artworks.

SINGULARITY #3
Why is our Singularity strip so unique?
The Singularity takes the form of a bank security strip and is 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲.🔐
It is one continuous visual unit (a full parallax 3D CGH image) that 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱. In addition, it contains colour and white kinetic spatial effects.
The first effect, animated 3D micro text, is an effect where the upper and lower micro texts of "SINGULARITY" rotate in 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 when the hologram is tilted up and down.
The second effect where the 3D text “IQS” covers its background, requires 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴.
In the next post, we will take a closer look at the second effect found on the Singularity strip - “3D depiction of 4D hypercube”. 👀

While most of the buzz around #GenerativeAI has focused on text generation, the tools being developed for image and video generation are going to completely upend the creative industry and transform how graphics and images are created. #futureofwork
