Former Marvel Studios concept artist Till Nowak will reveal the secrets of his unusual hybrid CG workflows at a free event at Gnomon School of Visual Effects’ Hollywood campus on Thursday 14 April.

The event, designed to showcase the range of solutions required in the art departments on modern movies – and to encourage other artists to experiment more freely their own workflows – will be broadcast free online.

Discover the secrets of unusual new hybrid CG workflows
Till Nowak’s portfolio spans set designs for Aardman Animations’ animated feature Arthur Christmas, music promos, idents, and a range of thought-provoking personal art experiments.

Having recently completed work as a concept artist at Marvel Studios, Nowak will discuss how unconventional techniques speed up work in movie art departments, where visual results matter more than the process used.

In the talk, Nowak will discuss his signature workflows, using camera-mapping and match-moving to create hybrid worlds, providing practical and creative inspiration for artists working on a wide range of other projects.
