"Graphical WOW: Art, History and Technology of Flaming Pear"
Location: Town Hall Auditorium, Apple Headquarters Mariani. Drive
Cupertino
Abstract:
Enhance your graphics with impact. Easily create planets, water,
weathered surfaces,organic textures, illumination and mood, richness and
complexity -- all in very simple ways. Unusual software produces
dramatic effects useful to photographers and digital illustrators alike.
Presenter Bio
Lloyd Burchill will demonstrate Flaming Pear's increasingly inexplicable
Photoshop plug-ins, which draw on science fiction, obscure photographic
techniques, panoramas, and now image fusion. How does this indie
graphics developer thrive? By staying resolutely small, being weird, and
keeping up with the research.
Along the way he'll outline the story of this rewarding niche and
explain the interesting technology under the hood. Amid abundant pretty
pictures you'll hear about about the intertwining pressures of tech,
aesthetics, and audience, the influence of Siggraph and the importance
of dirt. He'll reveal what's next and share useful tricks he's picked up
over the years.
