Executive Director Perinatal HIV Research Unit, Wits Health Consortium, University of Witwatersrand Associate Professor, Department of Paediatrics, University of Witwatersrand, South Africa HVTN Director of International Programmes HVTN Co-Principal Investigator Chair of the standing committee on Health, ASSAF. He is the past Chair of Immunology at UCT and holder of several NIH and European-based grants.
He has an active group within the IDM and is based at Stellenbosch University where he directs the Reproductive Immunology Research Consortium in Africa (RIRCA). He focuses on Immune ontogeny in HIV exposed infants, placental investigations and pre-term birth, and epithelial immunity in the foreskin. His research interests revolve around investigating immune regulation and dysregulation in the context of HIV infection or exposure. Professor Emeritus of Immunology, Division of Immunology, Department of Pathology, University of Cape Town Professor of Immunology in Molecular Biology and Human Genetics, Stellenbosch University, Cape Town Adjunct Professor, Department of Immunology, Duke University, North Carolina, USA Secretary-General, Federation of African Immunology Societies Vice-Chair, Education Committee of the IUIS Director of the Immunopaedia Foundation. His primary research interests are C-type lectin receptors and their role in homeostasis and immunity, with a particular focus on antifungal immunity. PhD, FRS, FMedSci, FRSB, FAAM, FRSE, RSSAf, Director MRC Centre for Medical Mycology at the University of Exeter and Director of the AFGrica Unit at The University of Cape Town (UCT). PhD, Section Chief and Senior Investigator, Tuberculosis Research Section (TRS), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH).Īreas of interest span the basic sciences of chemistry, biochemistry and microbiology, through to pharmacology and clinical medicine, in the areas of mycobacterial pathogenesis and TB drug discovery research. So thanks to this type of motion capture, even private users can apply animations to virtual characters.Adjunct membership is for researchers employed by other institutions who collaborate with IDM Members to the extent that some of their own staff and/or postgraduate students may work within the IDM for 3-year terms, which are renewable. And using keywords, it’s possible to animate the entire body or parts of the face. And thanks to the integration of third-party providers such as Adobe, it is also possible to work with Cinema 4D projects in Adobe After Effects and Illustrator.Ĭaptured recordings can be transferred to Cinema 4D using a plug-in. As result companies and private users can also use Python to develop their programs and plugins, thus extending the functionality of Cinema 4D. Since 2010, Maxon has been using the Python programming language for Cinema 4D. These functions include the modeling of 3D graphics, the processing of motion capture recordings, and graphic animation.
Instead, every version of Cinema 4D now offers full functionality. But since version 12 of the program, this modular system has become a thing of the past. Maxon’s Cinema 4D started as a program that solves various complex tasks through the use of modules.
The software can be found in television advertising, and besides, the complex 3D models it creates have also been used for film productions and documentaries. Cinema 4D is a 3D software developed by Maxon Computer GmbH which both amateurs and professionals can use to create 3D textures, computer graphics, and animations.
