WOULD YOU LIKE TO UNDERSTAND TRANDSFORMATION MATRICES?

I am teaching a course:
https://www.houdini.school/courses/hs-122-transformation-matrices

after this course, you should have a deep comfortable intuitive understanding of transformation matrices for computer graphics. I have taught an early version of the course a few times, you can ask form attendees what they thought of the course.

This class aims to provide students with an understanding of transformation matrices and their practical applications in animation, object hierarchies, and other areas of computer graphics.

One great thing about Peel Capture is the ability to manage data from various media devices.

It is designed to incorporate and synchronize with production components for motion capture, film, audio, and lighting.

Hardware from Vicon, OptiTrack, XSens, Blackmagic, and Philips are currently supported with additional components through Python scripting.

We had a two day mocap session and managed to record over 200% more Shots than any previous known sessions.

We used PeelCapture, a customizable data management software which collects, streamlines, simplifies motion capture and virtual production data collection from different devices.

We estimate it saved about 2 hrs each day just using PeelCapture’s Shot List feature.

• limited prop use • must provide mocap-ready body rig

• limited time offer valid until September 2021
• discount pricing in effect for this trial period

Virtual production tests using extreme light conditions to see light casts in the volume. All these light situations would be difficult to shoot live because the film crews would have very limited time to capture the scenes, especially for retakes!

We joined and to demonstrate the exciting capabilities of virtual production. Link in bio for more information. @ Vancouver, British Columbia
