Our company QArea, in particular Time4Design - design department of QArea, took part in 'CG-event' conference - main Computer Graphics Event of this year. It occurred on September 9-10, 2006 in Moscow, Russia.
'CG-Event' attracted adherents of digital design and digital art and professionals from related businesses. The most precious thing about this conference is real communication with real experts, sharing experience, introduction of new design technologies and concepts, making new professional contacts.
In a few words, this event agglomerates:
- dozens of professionals in different CG areas - from 3d-animators and artists to producers and cinema company owners;
- tons of insanely expensive hardware and software;
- Russian know-how solutions and richest experience from all over the world.
All of that is CG EVENT.
The aim of the conference is to get together computer graphics professionals, and people, who are just interested in digital art, for Experience and Ideas Exchange - art ideas, tech ideas, crazy ideas, anything.
The scientific program of the Conference included lectures and presentations on the most popular topics. The presentations were not just about technical stuff. They covered art side of the process also. Practical review of exhibitions, presentations from the leading world-class artists, works showcases and discussions - this was the conference main coverage.
The event was not limited with only tech and art aspects of computer graphics. Goal of the conference is to track down different parallels, which appear while creating digital works: interaction of 2d and 3d; digital pen tablets and real brush; modeling and sculpture; cinema and games.
