The document provides an overview of the process for designing environments and visuals for the video game Uncharted 2. It discusses how the art director and environment artist split up tasks based on their strengths, with the art director focusing on concept and marketing and the environment artist handling implementation. It then goes into details on how they develop concepts and style guides, iterate on designs, use color, lighting and shapes to convey mood, and translate blocky level designs into detailed environments through layered modeling and texturing based on research and references.
Taking Killzone Shadow Fall Image Quality Into The Next GenerationGuerrilla
This talk focuses on the technical side of Killzone Shadow Fall, the platform exclusive launch title for PlayStation 4.
We present the details of several new techniques that were developed in the quest for next generation image quality, and the talk uses key locations from the game as examples. We discuss interesting aspects of the new content pipeline, next-gen lighting engine, usage of indirect lighting and various shadow rendering optimizations. We also describe the details of volumetric lighting, the real-time reflections system, and the new anti-aliasing solution, and include some details about the image-quality driven streaming system. A common, very important, theme of the talk is the temporal coherency and how it was utilized to reduce aliasing, and improve the rendering quality and image stability above the baseline 1080p resolution seen in other games.
A rough template to use and abuse when pitching Raw Fury (or other publishers as well, of course) Feel free to steal the structure and modify it as you see fit.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Encryption in Microsoft 365 - ExpertsLive Netherlands 2024Albert Hoitingh
In this session I delve into the encryption technology used in Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Purview. Including the concepts of Customer Key and Double Key Encryption.
19. Everything here absolutely inappropriate to conveying that message.
Works for irony
Surprising how many people do no consider the overall goal when coming up with
shapes and colors
35. COLOR AND LIGHTING VERY EMOTIONAL TOOLS
IN THIS VIEW WE HAVE A MID DAY SUN, BRIGHT, CHEERY AND PEDESTRAIN.
36. SAME MODEL AND TEXTURES, THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGED IS THE LIGHTING
BUT IT COMPLETELY ALTERED THE MOOD. MUCH MORE SOMBER NOW. AGAIN, NO
MODEL OR TEXTURE CHANGE.
216. For Crazy bump, its actually not that bad, it turned out a little softer and not really
217. The Nvidia kinda look noisy with a bunch of
artifacts.
218. Now zbrush a good range of depth and protrusion.
219. Now, combining the color map,
Nvidia
And zbrush gives you a pixel perfect combination of the normal map with the color
map.
220. Although, crazybump might be ok, you still need a good color map to get good
results. The advantage of the zbrush method is, you already have all geometry in 3d
so its much easier to do changes or variations.
240. In application, you can use this slope shader not only on small rocks, but also on the
ground, structures, and entire mountains.
241. With tiling textures combined with the blend shaders and slope shaders, We have the
luxury of high resolution pixel density, and unlimited variety on our surfaces and
objects.
242.
243. So basically, We do all our lighting set up in maya ligthing calculation for
our Global Illumination is done by a software package called NOVA.
244. Nova
called Rainbow.
So, in this layer, we have the Direct Sunlight
because we replace this with a run-‐time direct sunlight, so we can cast run time
shadows.
