Computer hardware and software have revolutionized the film production process and brought about a world of visually rich, immersive videogames. These days, computers are used both in the process of developing preliminary visualizations of cinematic sequences (known as previsualization) and on-set to preview computer-generated environments and visual effects (known as virtual production). These techniques allow […]

  This proposed research will be held as part of the implementation of an online marketplace for smart assets, project that will be developed at Side Effects Software .The main objectives of this applied research project will be first, trying to predict the performance requirements. Second, estimating the set of queries that need to be […]

  In this project we attempt to research and develop from ground up a scalable distributed computing based recommendation engine using machine learning. A computer science student from the University of Toronto will work with Side Effects Software at their Toronto office to implement the research intensive recommendation engine algorithm and integrate it in the smart asset online […]

This proposed research will create a modern internal licensing database management system, which will be developed at Side Effects. The main objectives of this applied research are (1) manage customer and license information; (2) ensure the security of the system; (3) test the application efficiently and automatically; (4) generate a useful report based on the […]

How to define user requirements accurately and design user interface appropriately have been a very active research area concerned with human-computer interaction and graphic design. Because of the scale and the complexity of three-dimensional (3D) animation software, making correct design decisions becomes tougher. Houdini is a 3D animation software as well as the main product […]
