Prof. Adam Momsen

It was rare to see animation piece from professors. I was glad to see such an animation piece from Prof. Adam Momsen. It was funny and fantastic with beautiful light and shader. The character also shows its own characteristic. I should learn from him how to make my own character more easy to be recognized by audiences.

Prof. Luba Lukova

Prof. Luba Lukova was also another good graphic designer. He presented to us his unique way of thinking for the very beginning of creative process. He showed us how to inspire your self and where to begin your work. That is quite important for artists. Personally I think, the beginning is the most important part of artistic creation. That will reveal the deep meaning of your work. The rest of stages also serve to the first concept. If we don't have a good beginning, it might be a waste of time.

Prof.Margalit Neusner

I could strongly feel that Prof.Margalit Neusner was a great motion graphic artist. I liked the way he compositing with symbolized patterns accompany with real shooting. He used that motion graphic to spit and reconstruct the video to make the audience more easily understanding the meaning which the video presented. That was really intelligent and fantastic. I was happy to see such new way of compositing.

Prof. Joseph Pastor

Prof. Joseph Pastor was another fantastic and professional designer. From his work, I could see high contrast integrated with abstract patterns. I could be aware of that this kind of style were extremely hard to handle. However, I even could feel how easy for him to arrange the colors and shapes to contrast a fantastic abstract design figure. I never thought of painting from such a different way. Thanks for his amazing presentation.

Prof. John Mattiuzzi

His works were amazing! I liked beautiful particle effects and wanted to learn it for long time. When I asked him about how he generated the massive particles with limited computer resources. He recommended me a new software - Houdini. He said that is a more efficiency, powerful, and stable software than Maya. You could generate and simulate more than billions of particles and never needed to deal with unpredictable bugs and every 5 minutes crash like what you did in Maya. After the introduction from such a particle expert, I could not stop to learn this new and powerful software.

Prof. Jahanzeb Khan

I liked his app design, the layout was clean and the icons were easy to understand. actually I preferred to enroll his critique, I would like to get some inspiration from professor who was not related to animation, so that I could get new and fresh inspiration. However, as a student from Computer Graphic, I don’t have chance to choose his critique. That’s really sad, but anyhow, I was happy to see his work that day.

Prof. Michael Hosenfeld

For me, Prof. Hosenfeld is the most familiar professor. I leart from him a lot last semester. I could feel that Michael would be a good supervisor since last semester on his Thesis Grad Std course. He worried about our time schedule and reminded us frequently of making arrangement practically. I've learnt much about time management from professor Michael Hosenfeld in class. 

Unfortunately, he would not teaching this course for us this semester. That’s really great to see him again here. I knew his work on compositing and rotoscoping folks very well. Everything I saw before, but this time still amazing and fantastic.

Now I work for him with a VR project in HIVE until after graduation. I am happy to learn from him in practical commercial project.

Prof. Mike Bourbeau

This day, Prof. Mike Bourbeau attend my presentation. After have tried almost all the kind of different hair system. I have updated my software capacity, however, time was too shot for me to show all that I learnt.. Since there were only two weeks between my two presentation, the time was not efficient for me to prepare some excited features before my second time of presenting. However, both of them gives me some similar suggestions like Josh, that reveals the most serious issue of my work is time restriction. I need to arrangewhich part I need to focus on, and which part should be given up.

Prof. Josh Planz

This day, Prof. Josh attended as the adviser. He suggested me keep updating knowledge and  never I using an old fashion software to reduce efficiency. The

nHair system I used to generate the hair was out of date already. He told me that the disadvantages of this hair system. It had

extremely low simulating efficiency and terrible performance on the root of hair, commercial

projects no longer used such kind of technique any more. Additionally, the textures of my

animation might be too simplification, the materials on dumpling and the ground of my

animation even tend to a kind of similarity. Nevertheless, the architecture and background

should have more details. The advice from Prof. Josh revealed that my work was lack of details

on background and needed to be rebuilt the hair system on character.
