For many of those who turned
up for the free one day seminar on animation, video and
multimedia broadcasting on 5 February at the Eastin Hotel,
it was a very much an informative and educational session
of digital discovery, especially with the introduction of
new innovative multimedia application tools like Anark and
Mirage.
The
seminar began with a presentation of LightWave
3D by Tajino who impressed the crowd with his superbly
quick modelling skills as he took them from basic modelling
to organic and architectural modelling, highlighting the
features of the software. This was followed by a short demonstration
of Poser 5, the 3D-character design and animation tool for
artists and animators, by Tajino as well. The presentations
continued with a demo of live editing using VT3
by Mr. Ahmed Balfaqih, who was assisted by our handy cameraman
who shot live footages on the spot. Many participants were
also impressed and inspired by Anark,
a new innovative multimedia application developed by Anark
Corporation that enable digital content creators
to cost-effectively author and deliver the most captivating
interactive content available today. Our guest presenters
and representative from Anark; Mr.
Shawn Heinrichs and Justin
Ebert, offered an interesting ½ hour demo
of the capabilities of Anark and also showcased several
captivating works done using Anark. Their presence at this
seminar not only demonstrates their support and commitment
to Anark's users but also to the Malaysian animation and
video industry.
The
seminar ended with a Lucky Draw and six participants went
home with a big smile and useful prizes. Three participants
won themselves a copy of Expose each, a definitive art book
celebrating the creative talents of digital artists worldwide
whereas three other lucky participants walked away with
original copies of Mirage,
LightWave 3D and Anark.
The
Click Show aims to generate greater interest and awareness
to the computer graphics (CG) community and educational
sectors, of the progressing technology of digital content
development and the availability of integrated tools for
cost-effective digital productions in the local market.
Said Mr. Ahmed Balfaqih (Managing Director of Click Grafix
Sdn Bhd), "It is our goal to make this an annual activity
that will eventually become a national and regionally recognised
CG event among the CG community." The Click Show also
seeks to be a vehicle that can offer students and educational
sectors in particular, the opportunity for further motivation
and exposure to the digital industry, in line with our attempt
to boost Malaysia's aspiration to reach excellence and world
class standard in the CG industry.
Click

Visuals Systems Sdn Bhd for all the support and
