TUTORIALS OVERVIEW
WEDNESDAY 9 SEPTEMBER
ILLUMINATE LABS: BEAST TUTORIAL
This session will examine how Illuminate lab's Beast software allows game makers to use global illumination light maps to create effects such as colour bleeds, realistic nuances in the shadows, soft shadows from light sources and emissive materials that contribute to the lighting in a game scene.
THURSDAY 10 SEPTEMBER
XAITMENT: XAITCONTROL
Xaitment’s XaitControl allows the easy integration of high quality AI for behaviour modelling into games using graphical modelling instead of complex code. This practical session will describe what XaitControl is and show how it is integrated into Gamebryo Lightspeed and how it streamlines your pipeline
ALLEGORITHMIC: SUBSTANCE AIR TUTORIAL
Allegorithmic's Substance Air is texturing middleware solution designed to help users create and customize lightweight, dynamic and versatile textures. This session will demonstrate how the Substance Air Editor, along with 3dsmax and Gamebryo is used to produce high quality and dynamic texturing in interactive environments.
NATURAL MOTION: MORPHEME ANIMATION SYSTEM
Natural Motion’s Morpheme is a robust animation middleware designed to give developers and animators creative control over the look of their final in-game animation by allowing them to author and preview blends, blend trees and transition graphs in real time. This practical session will show how Morpheme is used to author runtime character animation and how the same tools are used to integrate character physics techniques with traditional animation.
