Project presentations includes the acclaimed webseries Super Science FriendsBrett Jubinville (director), Morghan Fortier (producer), Larissa Melnik (animator), and Kevin Williams (scriptwriter) will come to the  event.

One of the fundamental topics within the next edition of 3D Wire will be private investment.  The purpose of the session is to strengthen the national animation sector by acquiring private investment; providing tools for Spanish companies to deal with this important challenge for its international consolidation (organized in collaboration with the ICEX and the support of DIBOOS,  5 Oct, Palacio Quintanar in Segovia).

Talks, conferences and networking are  coordinated by Francisco Menéndez, lawyer at WELAW,  and professionals like Marta Hernández (Financial Manager at Tandem Films), Igor Alonso (Fiscal Adviser at BESTAX)  and Julián Mazoteras (Financial Expert), will participate.



The talk 3D Wire Next: CPU vs. GPU / realtime will open the debate about the technological change that is happening in animation, mainly motivated by the strength of video games as a fundamental part of the sector. Víctor González (Next Limi), Víctor Manuel Feliz (Motiva CG), Sergio González Sainz (Summus Render), and the moderator Raúl Colomer de Barreira (Arte + Diseño), will question the current dilemma about entirely changing the technological structures and bet on the GPU render, the remote control systems and other internal pipelines management forms.

3DWire Animation, Video Games and New Media Festival and Market takes place 5-8 October. Professionals from 14 countries  (Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, United States, Estonia, Philippines, France, Japan, Ireland, Mexico, Portugal and United Kingdom) attending its ninth edition.
