<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Taking part in a CG Garage podcast has been on Oliver Markowski’s bucket list for some time — and with good reason. The self-proclaimed VFX geek has a lot to talk about in this lively and honest conversation with Chris, from his work on movies including</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Captain America: The Winter Soldier</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spectre</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, and</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Black Panther</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, to how new file formats and pipelines are making it easy for vendors to collaborate on visual effects.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oliver reminisces about his early days in computing and VFX, when 3D Studio came on 40 floppy disks and you needed a whole book to learn how to use it. He also discusses the pros and cons of a career in VFX, from SIGGRAPH 2007’s infamous Autodesk party to the importance of taking occasional breaks. Finally, Oliver discusses the incredible neural rendering technology he’s looking forward to.</span></p>
