A ttendees can expect to explore fresh and thought-provoking ideas, glean pr actical insights from real-world production work, and discover innovative applications spanning various disciplines, from graphics and vision to AI and VR.\n\nDuring these sessions, leading experts from academia and indust ry will present their latest findings, offering a glimpse into cutting-edg e research and development. From geometry and animation to virtual reality and machine learning, attendees can expect to explore a diverse array of topics at the intersection of graphics and other fields.\n\nUnder the over arching theme of Curious Minds, attendees can delve into discussions surro unding innovation, interdisciplinary discovery, and the role of education in shaping the future of technology. Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or a curious enthusiast, the Technical Communications program promises to offer insights that spark curiosity and inspire new perspectives.\n\nDesig ning a Usable Framework for Diverse Users in Synthetic Human Action Data G eneration\n\nWe present SynthDa2, designing a usable SDG framework using insights derived from a user study with 84 participants, created to be usa ble and modular for both trained and untrained users.\n\n\nMegani Rajendra n (NVIDIA), Chek Tien Tan and Indriyati Atmosukarto (Singapore Institute o f Technology), Aik Beng Ng (NVIDIA), Joey Lim and Triston Chan Sheen (Sing apore Institute of Technology), and Simon See (NVIDIA)\n------------------ ---\nCAR: Collision-Avoidance Retargeting for Varied Skeletal Architecture s\n\nThe paper introduces CAR, a novel two-stage motion retargeting techni que for varied skeletal architectures, prioritizing skeletal integrity and geometric accuracy to minimize interpenetration in character animations.\ n\n\nYu Cao and MingHui Yang (Ant Group)\n---------------------\nInside Ou t 2 characters: revisiting the old and making space for the new\n\n*Insid e Out 2* tackled various challenges by adopting RenderMan's RIS framework, improving character pipeline, shading, rigging, and lighting. These innov ations enhanced visuals, streamlined workflows, and preserved the film's e motional depth.\n\n\nAna Lacaze, Masha Ellsworth, Athena Xenakis, Ben Port er, Jacob Kuenzel, Markus Kranzler, Brenda Lin Zhang, Jessica Harvill, Gra ce Gilbert, and Patrick Colemand (Pixar Animation Studios)\n-------------- -------\nMapping and Recognition of Body Movements on Another Person's Loo k-Alike Avatar\n\nWe explore whether users can identify the actor behind t he look-alike avatar based on the body movements of three actors. The avat ar was modeled to look-like one of the actors.\n\n\nKwame Baffour (Graduat e Center, CUNY) and Anthony Williams, John Lee, and Oyewole Oyekoya (Hunte r College, City University of New York)\n---------------------\nFilmAgent: Automating Virtual Film Production Through a Multi-Agent Collaborative Fr amework\n\nFilmAgent is an LLM-based multi-agent framework automating virt ual film production. It simulates key roles—directors, screenwriters, acto rs, and cinematographers, and integrates efficient human workflows in plan ning, scriptwriting, and cinematography.\n\n\nZhenran Xu and Jifang Wang ( Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen)); Longyue Wang (Alibaba Group); Zhouyi Li (Tsinghua University); and Senbao Shi, Baotian Hu, and Min Zhang (Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen))\n\nRegistration Category: Ful l Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n\nSe ssion Chair: Meng Zhang (Nanjing University of Science and Technology) END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
