Adam Chin

I am currently programming and training Machine Learning neural networks to render pictures. I am experimenting with the U-Net architecture and generative adversarial networks, GANs. More specifically, I'm doing variations on the pix2pix algorithm. We are at the very beginnings of this technology and I am interested in seeing what is possible. You can see my latest series, "Front and Profile: Mugshot Generation by Machine Learning" at: adamchinstuff.com I'm a veteran Computer Graphics generalist with a long history of delivering high quality images for corporate, commercial, broadcast TV, and feature film projects. I specialize in figuring out the production pipeline for any project and delivering on time and in any format. I made TV commercials for many years and while at Dreamworks Animation I worked on ten feature films and specialized in lighting and rendering. I am actively engaged in my own image processing experiments. In the last few years I've done experiments in Machine Learning, VR, stereography and photogrammetry. I've listed some of the experiments below. I was one of the original employees of Pacific Data Images, a pioneering computer graphics production studio that became part of Dreamworks Animation. Skills: • Prolific image maker. • Expert level skills in computer graphics. Actively exploring new techniques for image making. • Programming Machine Learning algorithms in Tensorflow, Keras, and PyTorch. • Deep hands-on technical understanding of CG lighting, image processing and rendering. • Specialized in on-time delivery of corporate, commercial, broadcast and feature film projects in any format and under extremely short deadlines. • Excellent client communication skills, both written and oral. • Exceptional artistic eye and can deliver imagery at the highest artistic level. • I can use and be productive in any 2D or 3D tool. • Coding abilities in Python, Javascript, and whatever language necessary.
