[1] This past Wednesday evening ACM SIGGRAPH Vancouver [1] members and supporters were presented with an informative and entertaining panel discussion on the Nuts and Bolts of Iron Man. The panel featured Vancouver VFX studio The Embassy [2], whose designers were responsible for the Iron Man Mark I suit, along with California’s The Orphanage [3], who designed the Mark III suit. The sold-out audience was treated to a frame-by-frame discussion on how the CG work was accomplished, along with the software used.
The SIGGRAPH board, volunteers and sponsors are to be congratulated for their efforts in continuing to provide educational platforms such as these panels. The opportunity to meet these incredibly talented developers, designers and artists who are more than willing to share their experiences and knowledge is well worth the annual membership dues and ticket prices. The Nuts and Bolts of Iron Man was sponsored by: 1337 Recruiters [4], VANarts [5], Sophia Books [6], Davis LLP [7], Stash Media [8], Big Fish Games [9] and Annex|Pro [10].
