Bio:
SIGGRAPH 2016
Eric Tabellion is a rendering principal engineer in the R&D group at DreamWorks Animation, where he has been working on film production rendering since 1999. Eric’s work has been primarily focused on practical global illumination using irradiance caching, raytracing, physically-based and point-based approaches. Eric also worked on various aspects of computer graphics, such as rendering shadows, realistic reflections and refractions, efficient post-process motion-blur and depth of-field algorithms, fluid surface reconstruction techniques, as well as particle and crowd simulation systems. Eric was awarded a Technical Achievement Academy Award in 2010 for his work on global illumination. He graduated with a Masters in computer science from the Université de Marne-la-Vallée in 1996. Eric’s movie credits include all DreamWorks animated films from “Shrek” to date.
