C>E>M>P>S: Master the BOM Lifecycle Efficiently with PLM
Manufacturing companies often face challenges when transforming key product information, particularly the bills of materials (BOMs). Starting with a CAD BOM, an initial engineering BOM is created and shared with downstream processes. This BOM undergoes several transformations: first to a manufacturing BOM, then to a process BOM, and finally to a service BOM. Managing these BOMs and their transformations within a single PLM environment can significantly reduce errors, delays, and inconsistencies. PLM streamlines the entire process, enhancing efficiency and enabling Automation, Integration, & Customization. Join us to discover how a unified PLM system can seamlessly manage BOM transformations, ensuring accurate and timely updates across all stages. Understand how this integration supports better decision making and drives success in manufacturing operations.

3D Layout and Digital Cinematography for Animation and Game Cinematics with Maya

3D layout is a critical component of the 3D animation production workflow. Working from storyboards, the layout artist builds the first 3D representation of that storyboard in a cinematic form by using the models created by the rest of the crew. The layout artist will set up cameras, and decide which lenses to use, where to position the lights, and how to lay out the 3D environment and props. They will then roughly animate the characters, either manually or with motion capture. The end result is a rough version of the scene that will be passed to the animation department. To be a good layout artist, a person needs to have a very good knowledge of Maya software, as well as a good mastery of cinematography concepts. This presentation will go though some basic concepts of cinematography that every layout artist needs to know. And then it will show how to create a 3D layout scene inside Maya step by step, starting from a 2D storyboard.
