Event overview
MSc CGE: Games Industry Seminar Series 2013-14
Speaker:
Philip Delamore
Co Founder and CIO
Change of Paradigm (COP) was formed in 2012 by 3 partners coming from Fashion Design, Technology and Luxury e-commerce backgrounds.
COP is a startup that designs, develops, manufactures and distributes through its own online e-commerce platform luxury Fashion Capsule Collections. Product design and development are made in collaboration with well-recognized fashion designers using 3D CAD software and products are displayed on COP’s e-commerce platform only in the form of products rendered (pre-rendered or real time rendered)in 3D simulation allowing full interaction between the customer and product prior to purchase and manufacture. This requires several technology challenges to be solved including: CPU complex cloth physics (multiple layers cloth/body interaction,integration to games engines to allow realtime interaction, GPU rendering (cloud) of high quality textures (eg BTF),delivery of video streams realtime (or quasi realtime) to multiple users. CoP are currently engaged with research partners in Games and Film Post Production industries to tackle these challenges and aim to launch an alpha platform in 2014.
