Vfx Artists Demonstrate That Hollywood Can Use Ai To Create, Not Exploit

SIGGRAPH LA featured talks and announcements about algorithmic and generative tools, and the creative side of production is ready to embrace them if they can enhance artists rather than replace them. AI has been used in film and TV for a long time, and numerous panels, technical paper presentations, and interviews showed this. Pixar artists use ML and simulations to create characters, and procedural generation is used to simulate and parameterize the flames, waves, and vapors of dozens of characters. AI is used to create realistic environments, and facial recognition is used to create realistic facial expressions.
