With the help of computer graphics technologies, the visual effects techniques using these technologies replaced most of special effects techniques which had been used for early films. For these changes, directors and visual effects creators make an effect in a scene through their mutual agreement in contemporary films. However, they undergo a lot of trial-and-error while making a visual effects scene because they cannot perfectly communicate their ideas due to the director's narrative language, and also because of the visual effect creator's language of computer graphics technology. This research suggests the design of a visual effects data retrieval system for efficient communication between directors and visual effects creators. This application provides the means to search a database analyzing visual effects scenes extracted from 14 remarkable movies in visual effect history by narrative and visual effects technique. They can search visual effects scenes using this application. also, this data can foster communication with directors and creators so they can make an efficient production pipeline.

Game graphics provide players with a sense of immersion, leading to active participation. This paper aims to analyze the mythological meaning for symbolic design of game skill visual effects that reproduce the narrative and the worldview of games borrowing myths. The research method classified the visual effect image into a symbol of the form of a universal archetype representation and a symbol of color expressing the narrative in the game, and analyzed it by applying Roland Barthes' semiological scheme. Through this study, it was possible to analyze the meaning of visual effects as a mythical meaning that can be universally sympathized and an implicit meaning that symbolizes the narrative of the game. The symbolic expression of the visual effect, which reproduces the narrative of the game reflecting the myth, can induce players to engage and participate, and the design direction was intended to provide the visual effect to have a unique symbolism that reflects the game's mythical worldview of the game.

불이 타오르는 비주얼이펙트 효과는 관련 CG 소프트웨어의 발전에 따라 그 사실적 구현과 완성도는 괄목한 만한 성장을 이루었으나 단순히 툴에 의존하는 작업방식은 예술적인 측면은 결여된 획일적인 시각효과의 양산이라는 폐단을 불러왔다. 본 연구에서는 수학적인 접근방법을 통해 예술적인 결과물의 질적 향상을 도모할 수 있는 기술과 예술 상호 융합적인 효율적 작업공정 구축을 제안하는데 그 목적을 둔다. 본 연구는 수학적인 알고리즘을 바탕으로 시각화를 위한 비주얼이펙트 솔루션을 구축하기 위한 실험단계를 순차적으로 진행해 나감으로써 시뮬레이션중인 유체 화염효과가 물체와 충돌하는 정확한 타이밍에 불이 옮겨 붙는 비주얼이펙트를 구현하기 위한 방법론을 제시하며 숙련도가 낮은 작업자라 할지라도 쉽게 사용이 가능한 접근성이 용이한 기술을 제시한다.

Visual Effects have been revered as 'Spectacular' film elements for a long time, and once there was a misunderstanding that they destroyed the actual 'Story'. But, now they are becoming a valuable tool for storytellers. A film pursues a perfect narrative structure and visual reality so that the audience can believe the story as a real. Giving a narrative motif to the audience, they use Visual Effects that provide the technical solutions and -at the same time- they create and preserve the diegetic world that Is either believable or not. This research suggests that we analyze precisely and make a classified table of the narrative use of Visual Effects based on the previous research of Shilo T. McClean. First, we can ask if the narrative motif would be there in front of the camera, From there, we then can get two desired answers. One is, if there is nothing to visually stand up, Visual Effects can intervene as an alternative tool for creating the diegetic world. The other is that Visual Effects can be used for preserving the diegetic world as a necessary tool. Then, in the latter, we can consider whether there is a storyteller's purpose to be added, so we can distinguish the details. This classified Visual Effects for the narrative is able to dispense proof that they can be worthy as to provide a 'Spectacuiar' aura as to create and preserve the diegetic world. I would like to argue that this research could be a foundation for the inter-progress of future studies for visual effects as well as for their amazing technological improvements.

In this paper, we presents visual effect(water, fire, smoke) simulation and interaction system for TV virtual studio. TV virtual studio seamlessly synthesizes CG background and a live performer standing on a TV green studio. Previous virtual studios focus on the registration of CG background and a performer in real world. In contrast to the previous systems, we can afford to make new types of TV scenes more easily by simulating interactive visual effects according to a performer. This requires the extraction of the performer motion to be transformed 3D vector field and simulate fluids by applying the vector field to Navier Stokes equation. To add realism to water VFX simulation and interaction, we also simulate the dynamic behavior of splashing fluids on the water surface. To provide real-time recording of TV programs, real-time VFX simulation and interaction is presented through a GPU programming. Experimental results show this system can be used practically for realizing water, fire, smoke VFX simulation and the dynamic behavior simulation of fish flocks inside ocean.

본 고는 가장 최근에 개발된 HDRI 포맷인 OpenEXR 파일 포맷에 대하여 살펴본다. 지금까지 HDRI 포맷으로서 사용되었던 Log Luv TIFF나 Radiance RGBE와 같은 FP 타입의 HDRI 포맷은 압축 방식에 있어서 모두 손실 압축(loss compression)이거나 또는 너무 많은 메모리(32bits FP)를 소비하는 단점이 있었다. 그러나 ILM에 의해서 개발된 EXR 영상 포맷은 16bits FP 데이터 타입에 무손실 압축(lossless compression)을 제공할 뿐만 아니라 유연한 확장성을 제공하고 있기 때문에 앞으로 영상 산업에서의 비주얼 이펙트 표현에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다.

This study is intended to study the usage of augmented reality(AR) in the marketing field by classifying them into display and content types and analyzing the typical cases and characteristics. The market for AR has been on the increase and has been a big influence in the marketing field, resulting in the generalization of the term "AR marketing." By analyzing the marketing cases which use AR technology and organizing the frequency of use and characteristics, it is expected to contribute as a basic material for future studies on AR marketing. In this study, AR marketing cases are classified into different categories including display and contents. First, AR display category includes personal computers, mobile, public display, and projection display. AR contents category includes informative content, game contents, virtual experience, and visual effect. While investigating, it was found that the most used type of AR display was mobile, which has the advantage of not being limited by time and place and is also capable of one-on-one marketing with customers. The most used type of AR content was visual effect type, which evokes curiosity and is easily shared among people.

Explosion effect on CG (Computer Graphic) a visual effect on which a higher degree of technological difficulty is required with a variety of effect elements such as Fire, Smoke, Flame, Dust, Debris, etc. integrated on it. As skills for CG software have been advanced, solutions loaded with functions of various fluid simulation have been developed. So more realistic special effects came to be available. However, in Korea, it depends just on CG program functions. Besides, enough R&D's concerned have not been followed up. Accordingly, this study is aimed at offering a production method that may effectively implement more realistic explosion effects under experimentations. To begin with, the study derives problems through a precedent study of the implementation of existing explosion effects. Then to solve them, experimental studies are performed depending on four solutions. There are accesses to the four solutions: first, Numerous Turbulent Flow, a method to allow an attribute of turbulent air in the stage of fluid simulation; second, Cache Retiming Solution produced in script; third, Multiple Volume Container based on cached data; and fourth, RGB Lighting Pipeline, a method to enhance the completion of the result from the stage of composition. Characteristics of effects applied in each stage and consecutive connections of them proved the effective implementation of more realistic explosion effects. This study may not only suppose the production method for efficient explosion effects differentiated from the previous ones but also be utilized as basic data for relevant researches.
