University Visit

We visited Shenzhen Polytechnic University and took a look at their VFX department, where we saw student works and their overall equipment/infrastructure situation. Later Olivier and the Flow team did some Blender talks with the students there. It was pretty cool, though translations could use some improvements lol.

Maybe they will offer teaching positions for people who wanted to become instructors in a in-person situation and that might be interesting.

We also visited RayVision computing service provider, traditionally they just do render farm, nowadays they also do on-cloud AI stuff like super-resolution or frame interpolation (There was a director who asked about the unnaturalness of interpolated frames but I don't think the render farm guys got the idea, which is funny), and they have services for like game streaming, remote workstation, high bandwidth syncing etc. Not something I personally would use anyway, but it's fun to visit these places.
