Expresii @ Microsoft Taiwan's New Surface Pro Launch 微軟台灣發佈會

29/6/2017

Comments

 
​Our Dr. Nelson Chu  was invited to do live demo of Expresii in the launch event by Microsoft to showcase the New Surface Pro for the Taiwanese market. The audience was one again wowed by the combination of great software and hardware, which enable us to do what we couldn't before.
​
我們的Nelson 到了台灣,於New Surface Pro 的發佈會上當神秘嘉賓,從影片裡走到現場,為大家示範在全新Surface Pro上潑墨揮毫,這次非常成功的吸引到大家的青睞!

用Surface手寫筆做出近似潑墨藝術的效果超美der~

Nelson first demonstrated  brush stroking with tilt sensing to give stroke variety. He then showed how we can increase the brush wetness to make the ink flow beautifully on the screen. A rooster painting was completed on stage by adding the finishing strokes.  Lastly Nelson wrote ‘匠心獨具’ to  congratulate the Surface Pro launch. The rooster painting also bears the meaning of good wishes in Chinese 上市一鳴驚人,當紅好賣!

We thank Mickey Chiu, Angela Wang and Lorenz Chan   of Microsoft Taiwan and folks from PR agency VEDA for their thoughtful arrangement and help.  It was also great to meet with the other invited creator  Belle 莊蕙如   and Chinese ink painter Hui-Tzu LIN (林惠姿) at the event.

Good comments on the live  video  at Facebook:
We thank Taiwan for having us!​   We'll definitely come back to meet with friendly Taiwanese people anytime!
​熱情的台灣人讓Nelson感受非常深刻,所以忍不住也寫了一下'有個熱情的地方名字叫台灣'的來感謝台灣!

Expresii featured at Microsoft Hong Kong Launch

17/6/2017

Comments

 
We were invited to help showcase the new Surface Pro and the Surface Studio at Microsoft's Hong Kong Launch Event on the 13th of June. Hong Kong is a place where East meets West and is certainly a great place to show the new devices combined with world's leading software technology of  Expresii    for Eastern ink painting and calligraphy.
Ink/watercolor flows down the gorgeous Surface Studio screen. The interaction is silky smooth thanks to the powerful GPU inside the unit. You really have to  see it to believe it!
Expresii is the best for making Eastern calligraphy. 'Microsoft and its partners have make it possible for the pen to feel like a Chinese brush (毛筆),'   said Horace Chow, General Manager of Microsoft Hong Kong. 'I urge you to try it first-hand!'
A sketch of Little Thunder, one of the product endorsers for this Hong Kong launch campaign. Again, the high resolution rendering capability of Expresii is the perfect showcase for the gorgeous 28" 4.5k PixelSense display of Surface Studio. 
​Look at the vector-like high-resolution rendering - you won't see a single pixel even when zoomed in so much. We're getting the best of both worlds of raster and vector.

Comics artist  Little Thunder    was fascinated by how much more advanced Expresii is! She could really appreciate the brush & ink simulation and the high-res rendering capability of Expresii. Little Thunder was greatly influenced by her parents in pursuing her artistic career - her father does traditional Chinese ink painting and calligraphy.

講座:數位​毛筆​水墨​工具​的發展【台北場】【新竹場】

簡介:東方水墨藝術源遠流長,多年來在創作概念、技法、工具上均不停演進。踏入數位化年代,眾多傳統藝術媒介都受到數位媒體沖撃而不斷求變,水墨藝術亦不例外。講者朱紹恆博士十多年來致力把藝術與科技結合,設計各種繪畫媒材的模擬技術,其中包括革命性的毛筆水墨模擬軟體,突破了以往模擬毛筆軟體線條缺乏變化,和水墨缺乏細膩流動感的局限。是次演講朱博士會介紹他的研發歷程,並討論數位水墨軟體於書法、漫畫、動畫等發展方向。

講者:朱紹恆博士 (Dr. Nelson Chu)
香港出生,澳門長大。自 1999 年研發虛擬毛筆,2005 年於國際頂尖電腦繪圖技術大會 SIGGRAPH 上發表其水墨模擬技術, 次年 Adobe 向其大學購買該技術使用權。2008 年北京奧運開幕禮也應用了其軟件做出水墨動畫效果。2008 年朱氏應邀到美國微軟總部開發繪圖軟件技術,成果最終化為繪畫程式 Fresh Paint。2011 年回流,開發新一代繪圖軟件 Expresii,獲Wacom 高層譽為最棒的水墨書法軟件,現亦為微軟推廣Surface 產品之軟件夥伴。

對象:歡迎任何對傳統書法、水墨​藝術跟數位應用結合有興趣的人士參加!
