Temporary Technical Artist for SIGGRAPH Asia

• Eye-catching teaser figures that showcase key results
• Technical illustrations for method / concepts explanation
• Comparison figures showing proposed method versus state-of-the-art approaches

• Create smooth transitions between different sections of the video (introduction, method, results)
• Animate key concepts and algorithms to effectively communicate technical details
• Develop animations showing the progression/iteration of our technique
• Visualise comparison sequences showing our technique against existing methods
• Add overlay text for on-screen clarity and include subtitles of voice-over narration

Example of Specific Tasks:

• From a series of mesh files (e.g., *.obj) representing individual frames of an animation, create visually appealing 3D renders with a minimalist style for both images and videos.
• Create dynamic renders showing skeletal structures visible through translucent skin during animated movement sequences.
• Generate UV maps for 3D meshes, create ad-hoc materials and apply specialised textures, including checkerboard patterns to visualise deformations and colour gradients to highlight corresponding points between different shapes.

Proficiency in the following software packages:

• Autodesk Maya and/or
• Blender

• Adobe Illustrator 
• Inkscape

•  Adobe Photoshop
•  Adobe After Effects

•  Adobe Premiere Pro 
•  DaVinci Resolve

• Coding in Python (or MEL for Autodesk Maya)

Longer Term Goals

• Template Development For Future Papers
• Develop a visually appealing and consistent visual identity (colours, fonts, graphic elements)
• Create customisable / reusable diagram templates for core algorithmic concepts 
• Design slide deck template based on the same design language

• Automate the process of converting output mesh sequences to rendered animated sequences
