My First Patent!

Its official! The character pipeline known as Dynamic Digital Humans DDH has just received its US patent! My first Patent! It's been a 5 year journey... From having a need with no solution, exploring a few things with Tristan Cezair (co inventor) that were just becoming possible, packaging them up, having someone with the technical expertise Stephan Kozak (co inventor) to actually make it work... finding out it out it doesn't work... Going back to the drawing board, raising more money... Pulling in a few more ideas, applying some new technologies, trying again, SUCCESS! ...refining the process, eliminating the dependencies, making 5 digital humans (so far) , arguing with the patent office, combining two patents into one. Paying the fees... and a lot of waiting. Finally our patent was issued!

Wouldn't have been possible without the vision of David Brady and the support of everyone at Cream. Cream Productions is now the only Toronto production company, (I know) that has its own patent! neat!
