American Cinematographer - May 2013 - 73

The evening unfolded as follows:

Act One
A Scientific and Engineering
Plaque was presented to Simon
Clutterbuck, James Jacobs and
Richard Dorling for the development
of the Tissue Physically-Based
Character Simulation Framework,
which “faithfully and robustly simulates
the effects of anatomical structures
underlying a character’s skin.” The
resulting dynamic and secondary
motions provide a new level of realism
to computer-generated creatures.
A Technical Achievement
Certificate was presented to J.P. Lewis,
Matt Cordner and Nickson Fong for
the invention and publication of the
Pose Space Deformation technique,
which introduced the use of novel sparse
data interpolation techniques to the task
of shape interpolation. The technique
has become a cornerstone of the creation
of CG characters.
A Technical Achievement
Certificate was presented to Theodore
Kim, Nils Thuerey, Markus Gross and
Doug James for the invention, publication and dissemination of Wavelet
Turbulence software, which “allows for
the fast, art-directable creation of highly
detailed gas simulation, making it easier
for the artist to control the appearance of
these effects in the final image.”
A Technical Achievement
Certificate was presented to Richard
Mall for the design and development of
the Matthews Max Menace Arm, “a
safe, adjustable device that allows rapid,
precise positioning of lighting fixtures,
cameras or accessories.” On set or on
location, this compact and portable
structure is often used when access is
limited because of restrictions on attaching equipment to existing surfaces.

Act Two
A Technical Achievement
Certificate was presented to Lawrence
Kesteloot, Drew Olbrich and Daniel
Wexler for the creation of the Light
system for CG lighting at
PDI/DreamWorks. “Virtually unchanged from its original incarnation
www.theasc.com

over 15 years ago, Light is still in continuous use due to its emphasis on interactive responsiveness, final-quality
interactive render preview, scalable
architecture and powerful user-configurable spreadsheet interface.”
A Technical Achievement
Certificate was presented to Steve
LaVietes, Brian Hall and Jeremy Selan
