Xencelabs + Anim Revolution

GDC 2025 - Booth# S241

Xencelabs is excited to once again collaborate with an incredible group of partners to showcase a comprehensive hardware and software workflow for game development. These partnerships highlight our full understanding of the "Anim Revolution," which we will be showcasing at GDC 2025, held from March 19th to 21st.

Together with a select group of leading creative technology companies, we have created a modern animation production pipeline with a complete workflow. From conceptualization and illustration to storyboarding, 3D modeling, real-time iteration, editing, character creation, rigging, face animation, live motion capture, and rendering—everything comes together seamlessly. Xencelabs'Pen Displays and Pen Tablets integrate effortlessly throughout the entire process. Attendees will experience this collaborative journey with studio representatives from all these companies in one place.

Engage in a demo with Rich Hurry and the Ozone 3D team to explore outstanding character animation tools. Interact with characters from IEL - Immersive Enterprise Laboratories to see how they dramatically accelerate the creative process, enabling instant visualization and iteration of ideas. This transforms traditional animation workflows into a dynamic, interactive, and efficient art form.

Experience the digital magic of Jim Henson's Creature Shop's live interactive creature rig, along with House of Moves'motion capture using Vicon's mocap capabilities. See how JALI Research's automated lip sync and facial animation software empowers digital storytellers to craft rich, expressive characters and avatars—interacting with live actors and driven into an Unreal Engine real-time game environment.

Other software present at the booth will include Autodesk's Maya animation program, Maxon's ZBrush and Cinema 4D, with live artist demonstrations!
