Can you briefly introduce yourselves and tell us about your roles in 3D design?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Sangyi Kim: I am responsible for Lighting \u2014 creating natural light and shadows to spotlight 3D characters and objects. I also handle compositing \u2014 combining 3D elements and effects from different sources into a single cohesive image. During the Lighting process, I focus on color expression to enhance each character\u2019s personality and charm.<\/p>\n<p>Sena Yoo: I am in charge of marketing content planning for 3D-based Cookie Run, 3D General Motion Graphic Design and Lighting. My major focus is on making 3D characters converted from 2D more dynamic with stories and motion graphics.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61654\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ViewFinity-Interview-1_Main4.jpg\" alt=\"viewfinity-s9-3d-creation-experience-interview\" width=\"1000\" height=\"310\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Q.

How was the experience?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Sangyi Kim: As part of a collaborative project with Incheon International Airport Corporation, we recently had an exciting opportunity to create 3D content for the Media Tower in Terminal 1 at Incheon International Airport, to be on display until late August. The project required us to be meticulous as the content is displayed on a 27-meter screen, meaning that even the smallest imperfections can really stand out. Fortunately, the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity S9<\/a> enabled us to review the content and visualize how it would be displayed to accurately identify any aspects that needed to be improved.<\/p>\n<div class=\"snr-article-related-news\">\n<div class=\"snr-article-related-news_container\">\n<h5 class=\"snr-article-related-news_title\">Recommended News<\/h5>\n<div class=\"snr-article-related-news-item\">\n<div class=\"snr-article-related-news-item_container\">\n                  <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/14162240\/ViewFinityS9-feature.jpg)\" class=\"snr-article-related-news-item_image\" data-ga-c=\"Article\" data-ga-a=\"Related News\" data-ga-l=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"snr-article-related-news-item_content\">\n<div class=\"snr-article-related-news-item_meta\">7.17.2023 \/ Monitors<\/div>\n<p>                    <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" class=\"snr-article-related-news-item_title gaTrack\" data-ga-c=\"Article\" data-ga-a=\"Related News\" data-ga-l=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\">Samsung ViewFinity S9, an Astounding New 5K Monitor<\/a>\n                  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sena Yoo: The Pivot feature was helpful when editing vertical videos as all we had to do was flip the monitor. I was concerned about the possibility of flickering and visual noise while displaying the content at a high resolution at the Media Tower. However, the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity S9<\/a> allowed me to check these issues in advance.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, it was essential for the Cookie Run characters to have fluid and detailed motions to convey the joy and excitement of travel at the airport. That\u2019s why the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity S9<\/a> was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/monitors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">perfect monito<\/a>r for this project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61655\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ViewFinity-Interview-1_Main5.jpg\" alt=\"viewfinity-s9-monitor-interview-differentiating-elements\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Q. What are the differences between the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity S9<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/monitors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">other monitors<\/a> you have used in the past?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Sangyi Kim: Adding light elements such as contrast and depth is very important as this makes the characters more realistic. The <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity S9<\/a> precisely presents colors and light the way it was meant to be seen, ensuring smooth color gradation and avoiding the color clumping common in other monitors.<\/p>\n<p>Another impressive feature is how the monitor precisely displays both the light and dark parts of an image without distorting the color. The difference is visible \u2014 the color expression and detail on the<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> ViewFinity S9<\/a> is simply superb, and it significantly boosts productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Sena Yoo: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity<\/a> is capable of showing the full spectrum of colors even in bright highlights or shadows. That\u2019s the biggest difference I\u2019ve noticed. When we\u2019re applying final touches to the video, we could easily check for whiteout<sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0or overly dark areas in images with shadows before exporting. We could see the video as it was meant to be seen before playing it on the Media Tower. It helped a lot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61656\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ViewFinity-Interview-1_Main6.jpg\" alt=\"samsung-viewfinity-s9-5k-resolution\" width=\"1000\" height=\"285\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Q. What is the most satisfying feature of the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity S9<\/a>?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Sena Yoo: I was satisfied with the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity S9\u2019s<\/a> 5K resolution, as poor resolution can reduce the details of an image. Furthermore, the monitor clearly defines highlights and shadows, enhancing the clarity of the content.<\/p>\n<p>Sangyi Kim: I love the flexibility of the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity S9<\/a>. I can move the interface anywhere on the screen, meaning I have much more space to work with. On top of that, the monitor\u2019s Matte Display effectively reduces reflections or glares from lights. I can focus on my work more comfortably without a light shade or a monitor hood.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61657\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ViewFinity-Interview-1_Main7.jpg\" alt=\"highlighting-samsung-viewfinity-s9-monitor-features\" width=\"1000\" height=\"624\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Q. Are there any other features you want to highlight?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Sangyi Kim: Many 3D designers prefer CPU rendering rather than GPU rendering as it is more productive. As such, they prefer using monitors with Windows OS. However, I\u2019ve noticed there are few monitors that support both 5K resolution and Windows OS. <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The ViewFinity S9<\/a> is a perfect choice for 3D designers who are looking for Windows OS compatibility.<\/p>\n<p>Sena Yoo: During meetings, we often share materials on a screen. Before, sharing screens was a hassle. But with the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity S9<\/a>, we can conveniently share our work wirelessly on anyone\u2019s monitor. Plus, the monitor is an all-in-one product that provides a variety of features for the creative process.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61658\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ViewFinity-Interview-1_Main8.jpg\" alt=\"viewfinity-s9-designers-interview\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Q. Is there anything else you would like to share about the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity S9<\/a> with designers?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Sena Yoo: For designers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/monitors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the monitor<\/a> is a sketchbook and a paintbrush. They need to express everything <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/monitors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on a monitor<\/a> as if it were a sheet of paper. Therefore, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/monitors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a monitor and its resolution<\/a> are critical factors to consider when working in the 3D art industry. I believe the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity S9<\/a> is an ideal companion for 3D designers, as it supports ultra-high 5K resolution and advances work efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Sangyi Kim: I really believe <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-an-astounding-new-5k-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ViewFinity<\/a> was made with designers and creative professionals in mind. The colors are precise and the monitor is sleek and beautiful. It shines by itself. It gives you a real lift in terms of productivity. I can\u2019t recommend it enough.<\/p>\n<h6><em><sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0Whiteout: A phenomenon caused by extreme white areas, making objects hard to identify and distorting the perspective<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-viewfinity-s9-interview-devsisters-secret-bringing-3d-characters-life\/\">DEVSISTERS\u2019 Secret to Bringing 3D Characters to Life<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\">Samsung US Newsroom<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As technology continues to advance and becomes more crucial to the creative process, the boundaries of art have grown to encompass digital illustration, animation, motion &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":426,"href":"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416\/revisions\/426"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.reviewsom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
