During my undergraduate days, I created hand-drawn animations together with other Tokyo Institute of Technology Animation Society members. There, I also got a chance to try out some free 3D computer graphics software. Trying to produce something that resembled cel animation productions was a trial and error process that didn&#8217;t go well, and I felt I needed to learn the principles and theoretical aspects of 3D computer graphics. The textbook I read was one by CG-ARTS, and since I had already done the tough part, I thought I might as well take the test to see what I know.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">Recently, full CG animation movies such as <i>Expelled from Paradise<\/i> are gaining popularity, and those that combine CG with hand-drawn work like <i>Girls und Panzer<\/i> and <i>Aikatsu!<\/i> are on the rise, so the importance of CG technology in animation can only increase. Additionally, computer graphics are spreading from the screen to other aspects of life with the emergence of equipment such as 3D printers.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The Koike Lab, where I am based, is not directly involved in CG research, but instead focuses on themes such as human-computer interaction and information visualization. I hope I can indirectly apply my CG knowledge to contribute to these areas.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Teacher in charge<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Yasuharu <span class=\"caps\"><span class=\"caps\">Koike Lab.<\/span><\/span>\uff08Intelligent Information Processing Research Core\uff09<a href=\"http:\/\/vcsel-www.pi.titech.ac.jp\/\"><br \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bioif.iir.titech.ac.jp\/klab\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.bioif.iir.titech.ac.jp\/klab\/<\/a><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #f3f3f2; padding: 10px; border: none; border-radius: 10px; -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><strong>Links<br \/><\/strong>\u25b6<a href=\"https:\/\/www.titech.ac.jp\/english\/news\/2016\/035550\">Tokyo Institute of Technology<\/a><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">\u25b6Institute of Innovative Research\uff08IIR\uff09<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prize Winner Yasuhiro Inukai\uff08M2 of Koike Lab\uff09 Conferrer Computer Graphic Arts Society\uff08CG-ARTS\uff09 Prize MEXT Minister&#8217;s Award Date May 16, 2016 Comments from Mr. Inukai It is an honor to receive this award.
