The future paths of visualization and physically-based rendering are closely tied to the ones of neural networks and machine learning. Let us explore how ML can help generate physically-based materials and test the results on-site.
We invite you and your team to explore the intersection between AI and physically-based rendering by building a machine-learning model that can synthesize a set of PBR textures for a given type of diffuse textures.
You will be given a certain data set of material textures and provided with relevant computational resources. The results will be validated against a test set of textures and by Chaos mentors.
Joining the Neurathon, you will have the chance to:
Anyone aged 18+ interested in programming for computer graphics, deep neural networks, and image processing can participate in the Neurathon event in Prague on November 25, 2023.
Whether you're an upper-course student, a recent graduate, a researcher, or a seasoned pro, we're interested in your passion for exploring how AI can be integrated into graphic technologies.
We welcome individuals and teams of developers of up to four people.
Our mentors will check the validity of your results, and they'll also run automated tests and compare your results to a set of pre-defined textures.
We'll see how close your results are to the originals.
You'll get a more detailed task description and more info about the judging criteria closer to the event date.
Yes. Our colleagues from Chaos Innovation Lab will be available on-site to mentor the teams.
Yes, indeed. Please bring your own device. The rest of the infrastructure (connectivity, online resources, cloud access, etc.) will be on us.
You can park your car in safe parking Anděl.

We are running a Neurathon because we're committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the world of computer graphics technologies.
Developing leading 3D technology, we know that innovation doesn't happen without collaboration. Whether you're an artist, industry leader, or academic researcher, you're welcome to contribute to development discussions and help solve key computer graphics challenges.
That’s why we have set up our Chaos Innovation Lab, a dedicated initiative to encourage sharing ideas and research in graphic technologies, including offline and real-time rendering, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI).
