Just a reminder that the Wed class this week is a Design Review of the Alpha version of your Authoring Tool. As with the Design Doc review, here’s the format I would like you to follow in a 4 minute presentation.
NOTE: you should have no more than 4 slides.
Slide 1 - Overview
Name of your Authoring Tool
Group Members
Title and authors of selected paper
Slide 2 – Main Features
- As a quick review, a VERY BRIEF description (i.e. less than 1 minute) of the main concept of your authoring tool
Slide 3 - Results => this is the most important section of your presentation
Progress to Date
Demo, videos and/or screen shots showing what has actually been accomplished
Slide 4 – Next Steps
Remaining tasks/features to be implemented
What specifically you think you will be able to author with the final version of your tool
Slide 8: Next Steps
"Looking ahead, we have several improvements planned:
- We want to switch to our own implementation of GMEdgeNet. For alpha version we
- We'll also begin training our own model weights, tailored to specific character types or styles.
- And we plan to add shape categorization, so the model can automatically adjust based on the character type.
Slide 9: Usability Features
"InstaRig is built with usability in mind:
- Users can control the rigging process through intuitive GUI parameters.
- We also support Maya’s built-in rigging and skinning tools for further refinement.
- To simplify setup, we’ve added an installer for dependencies and auto-loading within Maya.
These features are aimed at making InstaRig ready for production pipelines."
