We are excited to announce that the Chaos Group will be in full force this year at SIGGRAPH with a bigger team and a number of impressive new developments. This year you can join us and become a part of the following events:

The Chaos Group is ready to show its fresh new additions for 2010, including V-Ray RT for Maya and Phoenix FD, an outstanding new grid based simulator for smoke and fire. The hype this year is clearly the GPU rendering, and not to miss the mark, a demonstration of V-Ray RT on GPUs will amaze with unprecedented speed, unmatched interactivity and flawless workflow.
Check out what we are preparing for the show and choose your way to become part of the Chaos Group trendsetting technology.

Chaos Group Booth 612

SIGGRAPH Exhibition floor 27^th-29^th of July, 9.30-6.00 pm

Live demonstrations by well known artists and real-world V-Ray production workflow discussions by experts in the Film and VFX , Architectural and Automotive industries are just some of the highlights at this year's Chaos Group booth. Kevin Margo from Blur, Christopher Nichols from Digital Domain and Oliver Heijmans from Mr. X are only some of the names joining us at SIGGRAPH.

Visit our booth to get a sneak peek into the latest from V-Ray and V-Ray RT for 3ds Max and Maya, Phoenix FD, and Pdplayer. Expect to witness interesting presentations on V-Ray for Rhino and SketchUp, presented by Corey Rubadue, CEO ASGVIS. New web based rendering solution by Mackevision will also be a part of the demonstrations. F_BOX picture shooter allows users aided by the web based application fast and easily to create high end 3D images.

The emphasis this year will be V-Ray RT GPUs. Developed on the basis of the V-Ray RT this outstanding technology inherits the great interactivity and flexibility of the RT engine and brings it into the GPUs to achieve 15-20 times faster rendering process and lighting and shading set up.

V-Ray RT on GPUs will be presented on the new 3DBOXX Extreme Edition with 4 GPUs provided with the kind of support of BOXX Technologies.

The Best of V-Ray: An Exclusive 8-hour Live Training Event at SIGGRAPH 2010

SIGGRAPH Room 518, 2^nd floor: 28th July, 10:00am to 6:00pm
Brought to you by the Chaos Group and the CGschool.

For the first time ever, and in partnership with CGschool, the Chaos Group presents a one of a kind V-Ray training workshop for anyone interested to get acquainted with the fast, reliable and renown rendering engine.

Everyone who attends gets a free copy of 3DATS's Ispirato book. Plus a chance to win "One Project" and "Advanced to Expert" books, V-Ray T-shirts, pins, notepads, pens and V-Ray RT licenses.

Course Description
This course starts with a fast but thorough look at the algorithms working behind the scenes of all the critical settings so users know exactly how to maximize speed and quality, rather than just guessing at what might work. During this discussion, the instructor provides an in-depth analysis of the most common issues that plague even veteran users – speed, detail, and noise. After this, the instructor creates numerous real-world materials from scratch while discussing the methodology behind their creation. Next, a thorough look at all the different animation techniques available are analyzed for static scenes and scenes with moving objects. During the next 90 minutes, the instructor presents numerous V-Ray features that can be considered as ‘Power Tools’.These include tools such as proxies, displacement, the V-Ray Physical camera, and render elements. The class ends with 2 hours of practical lighting of exterior and interior scenes, including troubleshooting techniques to ensure the best mixture of speed and quality.

This class will be fast and furious, yet suitable for users of all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. Most files for this course will be provided in 3ds Max 2010 format, however, you can still benefit from this course if you use V-Ray on other 3D software, as the vast majority of all the concepts will be the same. Students must bring their own laptop if they wish to follow along with the exercises. Support files provided in mostly 3ds Max 2010 format.

V-Ray for 3ds Max installations will be provided on site for participants without personal license..

Join the V-Ray team and prepare yourself for a wonderful show!

Greetings from all of us at Chaos Group and see you soon in Los Angeles
