Abstract:
With the explosive growth in the number of digital artists, there is an increasing opportunity to capture the creative potential that is currently devoted to creating user-generated content. This course provides a foundation for planning CG projects that typically start as small collaborations and later become to large productions. It examines the criteria for constructing and quickly deploying a simple pipeline for the initial collaboration and then proceeds step by step to scale up the pipeline to support hundreds of people.
At each step, the course examines the issues that limit efficiency and productivity. it addresses the decision points and potential problems in structure, organization, and pipeline as a production grows. It also explores the constituency of a distributed team and how it can be better organized and managed.
This course takes a systems approach to deconstructing projects at different scales and understanding the infrastructure requirements. The goal is to give course attendees the ability to create effective, self-organized projects that will easily scale with minimal cost and maximum efficiency.
