Sanja Fidler: Towards AI for 3D Content Creation

American Slovenian Education Foundation (ASEF) organizes a new ASEF Speaker Series event. This time prof. dr. Sanja Fidler will deliver a lecture titled “Towards AI for 3D content creation”. 

ABSTRACT

3D content is key in several domains such as architecture, film, gaming, and robotics. However, creating 3D content can be very time consuming — the artists need to sculpt high quality 3d assets, compose them into large worlds, and bring these worlds to life by writing behaviour models that “drives” the characters around in the world. In this lecture, prof. Fidler will discuss some of our recent efforts on introducing automation in the 3D content creation process using A.I.
