Tuesday, February 9th–

The Los Angeles Chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH presents:  “Digital Sculpture”
One computer graphics discipline becoming prevalent and widely used throughout the creative industry is digital modeling and sculpting. The artists/presenters will show quick sculpt and texturing techniques.

Modeling has undergone profound changes since early techniques and the programs utilized by the artists/presenters have changed the way we think of modeling, using traditional concepts such as gesture, form, weight, gravity and design to create the model.

Neil Gaiman Speaking

Neil Gaiman is presented by UCLA Live.

After years as the most famous writer you’d never heard of, Neil Gaiman’s recent Hollywood successes have propelled him into celebrity orbit. After co-writing the films “Beowulf” and “Stardust,” the animated version of his novella, “Coraline,” was released in 2009 to unanimous rave reviews. But Gaiman has been a prominent and prolific creator of comics, novels, film, journalism and poetry for more than two decades. He created the best-selling DC Comics series “Sandman,” which was the first comic ever to receive a major literary award. “The Graveyard Book,” published in 2008, received the Newbery Medal, the top prize for children’s literature. At the podium, Gaiman shares stories of imagination and urges audiences to take note of the creative ideas that linger in each of us.

Tickets: $48, 36, 24 – purchase online. UCLA students $15 – online.

With a demographic of 16 to 49 we know people of all ages will findthis event informative and appealing.
