Computer students attend Seminar on Motion Graphics

The students of Second Year Computer, Third Year and Final Year Engineering students attended a seminar on “Motion Graphics” organized by C-CODES (Computer students association) on 28th April 2017 from 11 am to 12 pm. The speaker for the seminar was Mr. Gohar Chanekar – CEO of Visual Vibes.

In the first part of the session, Mr. Gohar spoke about his journey as an entrepreneur. He started a company Visual Vibes at the age of 17 that focused on graphics designing. After a year he moved to Bangalore where he expanded his company to refined services such as visual creations, 3D Mapping and motion graphics.
He then spoke about motion graphics. Motion graphics are pieces of digital footage or animation which create the illusion of motion or rotation, and are usually combined with audio for use in multimedia projects. Motion graphics are usually displayed via electronic media technology, but may also be displayed via manual powered technology. A live wall paper was created as a demo for the students using the software Cinema 4D. CINEMA 4D is a 3D modeling, animation, motion graphic and rendering application developed by MAXON Computer GmbH in Germany. It is capable of procedural and polygonal/subd modeling, animating, lighting, texturing, rendering, and common features found in 3D modelling applications.
In his concluding remarks Mr. Gohar emphasized the need to finish engineering studies before doing any course related to animation and graphics. He mentioned that engineers can better understand the technical aspects of graphics animations.
The coordinators for the workshop were Asst. Prof. Gaurang Patkar (H.O.D – Computer Engg) and Asst. Prof. Merwyn D’Souza.
