The YONK collective will present its CGI workflow, focused on virtual reality, which combines immersive sculpting with production processes in Blender. The goal is to develop unique visual identities and foster a more intuitive and experimental creative approach.

We will discuss Magnific and its suite of AI-powered creative tools. We will examine the impact of this ecosystem on today’s audiovisual production, highlighting new avenues for integration between image generation, creative scaling, and professional workflows.

We will examine the transition of Aprendemos Juntos Kids (a show featuring traditional Muppets) toward its technological evolution without losing its essence. The new approach is based on a 3D animation pipeline, exploring the use of hybrid motion capture alongside real-time rendering.

Conference made possible by the participation of Industrias Culturales.

Pitch of the finalist projects from the Next Lab Generation 2026 workshop.

We’ll discuss how AI is impacting audiovisual production, tools that help streamline pre-production, and how to automate repetitive tasks. We’ll explore the ins and outs of the transition from comic book to screen in Oscar Martín’s *SOLO - Mundo Canibal*. We’ll explore its production pipeline and how shading, rigging, animation, and other departments are working toward a new goal: “killing 3D” so they can devote more time to the creative process.

The session will introduce HID and its role in shaping more intuitive and touch-based 3D animation workflows, highlighting its impact on production efficiency and creative ergonomics.

We will explore how advanced rigging bridges the gap between traditional animation and modern tools, examining 2.5D methodologies in Spine to optimize efficiency and expressiveness in video games and animation productions.

We’ll dive into the open-source pipeline behind this impressive project, exploring how a workflow based on Blender, Grease Pencil, and Grease Pencil VR enables maximum expressiveness. It’s a perfect example of how an experimental project can evolve into a scalable and competitive IP.
