We are delighted to feature Jenny Fong, Creature Supervisor at ILM, as our Studio Spotlight presenter with her talk 'Simulating and Art Directing Dreadlocks in Avatar 3'. We will also have a community presentation from Luis Cadavid, CFX & Groom artist at Sony Pictures Imageworks, discussing the development of his feather groom toolkit.
