We're at the Intel booth showcasing

Ziva Dynamics, the world's leading character simulation

technology.

Ziva technology enables creators to make my life-like creatures

and characters for film and TV.

The Intel Xeon servers expand the creative capacity

for Ziva's simulations.

And I'm going to pass it over to Lonnie Kraatz who

is going to give us a demo of our technology.

Ziva's improving the workflow and final results of studios

all around the world.

This is a Maya plugin that allows studios and indie

creators to create more realistic characters,

as seen in "The Mag," "Ghostbusters," and "Suicide

Squad."

So here we have Max, our virtual human asset.

And we have the bones, the muscle, and the skin.

The bones in this case are the input

to the soul, which are driving the muscles, which

in turn are driving the skin.

So if I scrub this, you can see how this stuff interacts.

And you can see how, a pec would kind of deform differently

than the traditional.

This approach allows your muscles

to bend, stretch, and flex like they would in real life.

It's-- we're solving this with real world properties.

Here's an example of our own demo.

Now if I, just grabbed this arm, you can see that this is just--

these bones are being driven by the Maya IK,

and these ones are solved.

So if I go back to the start frame,

you can see this is an actual solve in progress.

You see the muscles reacting to the inputs of the bones.

And then with that you can change the properties

of any of this stuff.

So I can go into the muscle and make it softer, for example.

And there you go.

So you can kind of see how all this stuff kind of

works together.

Here you can look at--

here you see a muscle.

And if we select it, you can barely

see the orange little line.

And that's defining the flow of the fibers.

So if I go and paint--

if I go and paint the fiber endpoint,

you can see the direction that the fibers

are taking by going from the black to the white.

So now if I were to change that, you

can see how the fibers change direction.

But ultimately that's defining how the muscle fires.

So when I hit play, that's--

that's where they're firing from.

With Ziva you get greater artistic control

over the muscle deformations and all material properties.
