Foundry at FMX: Harnessing GAN chaos with Nuke
The ETC team were given a brief to embrace experimental AI/ML tools to create something weird and unexpected for Facebook’s rebrand to Meta. This session will take you through the process as Simon French and Ryan Knowles explored the capabilities of the machine learning toolset in Nuke 13, some of the amazing generative art resources and machine learning models being developed elsewhere, and how Nuke 13 ultimately enabled them reign in the chaos from these unpredictable sources and create a 60 second commercial that combined live action puppets and actors, CG environments and animals, and pay homage to the unique style of Henri Rousseau.
