VIEW Conference is now in session! 🇮🇹
An amazing first day in Turin, packed with workshops, presentations and great conversations.

After last year’s success, Boyan Georgiev and myself rebuilt our conference program app for 2026:

It’s also great to see more people getting into vibe coding and building their own websites with their own ideas. Looking forward to seeing what everyone creates!

Highlights from day one included Edward Douglas and Heike Kluger sharing their perspectives on VFX supervision and production, Ian Failes from befores & afters exploring some of the greatest shots in VFX history, and a leadership panel featuring voices from Industrial Light & Magic, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Dylan Sisson from Pixar's RenderMan, Women in Concept Art and many more.

Thank you so much Maria Elena Gutierrez for bringing everyone together and making VIEW Conference such a special event.

Italy, Coffee and APP-y Hour! 🇮🇹 ☕ 💻

Boyan Georgiev and I are bringing live vibe coding back to @view_conference! Last year, the workshop experiment became a schedule website people actually used. This year, we’re (re-)building a new version live, fresh ideas and your input.

Join us for two hours of creating, experimenting, breaking things and fixing them together.

This isn't a coding class, and you don't need to be a programmer. Its a workshop for VFX artists, animators and other creatives who want to understand how AI can help them build their own tools, prototypes, interfaces, and ideas. No coding experience needed, just curiosity!

Recap Siggraph 2026 in Los Angeles

SIGGRAPH 2026 in LA is officially in the books! 🎬

DigiPro was the perfect way to kick off the week, with outstanding technical presentations and inspiring discussions.

Followed by another highlight, the VES Women Who Lead session with Tara DeMarco and her insights into the collaboration between VFX supervision, production design and cinematography.

This year was also special because Das Element had the opportunity again to give back by sponsoring the Siggraph for Beginners session. Helping newcomers make the most of their first Siggraph felt especially meaningful. Hope everyone enjoyed the snacks and beverages.

The Visual Effects Society Mixer was memorable evening. As Chair of the VES Germany Section it was a pleasure to connect with fellow VES members from around the world and spend time with such a passionate community.

It was also great to catch up with the team from ActionVFX. Huge congratulations to Rodolphe Pierre-Louis and the entire team on 10 years of ActionVFX.

One of the nicest surprises of the week happened at the Foundry party, where we unexpectedly ran into Jacob Slutsky. Jacob was one of the earliest adopters of Das Element and his thoughtful feedback over the years has genuinely helped shape the software. It was great to finally meet in person after working together for so long. 👏

The perfect way to wrap up the week was Pixar's RenderMan Art & Science Fair, an evening filled with presentations, great conversations and plenty of laughs. Shout out to the legandary Renderman team from Wendy Wirthlin and Dylan Sisson. 🫖👽

Throughout the week, we had great conversations about Das Element, asset management and modern production pipelines. Hearing how studios are tackling these challenges, exchanging ideas and sharing what we've been building always leaves me with fresh motivation. Now it's time to head back home, start coding again and turn many of those conversations and ideas into new features.

Thank you to the fantastic crew we're lucky enough to travel the world with ❤️

Already looking forward to next year!

Recap of Annecy 2026 - animation, friends and plenty of sunshine ☀️
It's always a pleasure to return to the beautiful scenery of Annecy in the north of France. Every year, the festival reminds me why it's one of the best places to connect with the animation community.

It was great to see the animation industry continuing to thrive, with games, VFX and animation becoming more interconnected than ever. The collaboration between these creative fields is only getting stronger.

Speaking of powerful, @pixarsrenderman 's XPU renderer continues to impress. As always, Dylan Sisson's presentation was one of the highlights of the week. I'm definitely looking forward to Toy Story 5 … 6 7

One of the most memorable moments was watching Walking with Animators, the documentary by Alexandre Poncet, Gilles Penso and Eugénie Poncet . Eight years (!!) in the making, it's a beautiful declaration of love to the craft of animation and a heartfelt tribute to the artists who bring stories to life. If you have the chance to see it, don't miss it.

A big thank you to the @ves_french_section for organizing the panel discussion and networking event. Annecy is always the perfect place to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. Special thanks to Chauvet Bastien, Quentin H. Martin and the entire team for making it such a memorable event.

Thank you for the German reception and congratulations to Agon Ushaku on the new role as Project Manager at @fmxconference

Networking is simply better by the lake with a cocktail in hand. 🍸

A special shout-out to the conference crew: Heike Kluger, Wendy Wirthlin, Adele Khawli, Hayley Miller, Dylan Sisson, Jean Christophe Rodier, Mark Flanagan, Hal Hickel, Christophe Rodo and everyone else ...

Annecy, thank you for another fantastic week. See you again next year!
