Session Name:

Visual Effects Summit: Reigniting Stars: A Decade of VFX in 'EVE Online'

Overview:

Join this talk for the visual effects evolution of EVE Online, a pioneering MMORPG that has stood the test of time! In a rare look behind the scenes, we show how our successes, and failures, over the last decade shaped tool improvements on the long road to making modern dynamic, reactive, and viscerally pleasing visual effects for an MMORPG that is now in its third decade. See how the tools evolved to meet the challenges of new features that continual development and delivery required. Discover the solutions that improved our processes, enabled rapid prototyping, and allowed a small VFX team to succeed. Join to see how artists on EVE Online were enabled to create finite state machines, learn to make expressions and utilize live variables to drive dynamic and state based VFX. Plus, see some neat tips and tricks for VFX creation found along the way!
