Abstract:
Predictive rendering is normally thought of as a technology stack which is mainly useful for virtual prototyping of appearance critical objects. However, such technologies also turned out to be surprisingly useful for high quality movie VFX. After giving an overview of the research portfolio of our group in Prague, I will give a brief overview of which aspects make predictive rendering appealing to the VFX industry, and outline a few technological advances of the past years.
