In addition we also hosted three artists from Industrial Light & Magic at SIGGRAPH: Kris Costa (Antropus), Martin Murphy and Frank Gravatt. They drew a crowd that flooded the aisles as they presented their work on a series of movies including “The Avengers”, “Cowboys & Aliens”, “Transformers” and “Rango”. Unfortunately, due to NDA restrictions we are not at liberty to show their demonstrations. However, you can enjoy the Rango interview that we did with ILM! Click Here
