• Photographing a Car Without the Car (PDF)
Luc Petitot – Real Reality

The car industry has changed so much in the past few years. Currently, every car is modeled in 3D computer graphics at every phase of conception. Autodesk® AliasStudio™ is probably the preferred product for designing in the automotive industry, and, along with help from Autodesk® Maya® and mentalray®, a photograph can now simulate the car without the car even existing. With HDRI images and the imported car model, a photographer -- with the help of the computer graphic artist -- can elaborate all the pictures necessary to prepare the advertising campaign and to be ready when the car arrives on the market. About the Speaker: Luc has been in the 3D computer graphics world for more than 20 years, having worked for such companies as Wavefront, Explore, Alias, and Softimage. A Maya software expert, he has trained employees from various companies on the software. In 2003, Luc started his own company, Real Reality, and is currently doing special effects for a long feature film. He teaches in several schools in Belgium and abroad, and started an ATC in Brussels in association with EFPME. luc.petitot@realreality.com - 1

•Understanding Learning Styles: How to become a More Effective Classroom Instructor (PDF)
Hans M Hirschi – Autodesk

Learning - what a basic concept, yet such an important one for all of us who teach. Learn the basics of how the human brain works and the what, when, and why of learning and forgetting. Why is it that we easily reach some students while others elude us? Do you treat all your students the same way? Or do you try to adjust your teaching methods to your students? How can you tell which student needs what? Do you think your students know what they want and how they learn most efficiently? We’ll look at different learning styles and how you can use them to facilitate learning. We’ll even include a test to show you how you learn and some examples of just how easily our minds are fooled! Apply these practices to your training and you’ll have happy students wanting to come back for more. Please bring your own tips & tricks to share with your peers!
