Presenter

Woonjung Kim is a Rigging & CFX Technical Artist at Nexon Games, with research interests in real-time character rendering, physically based simulation, and machine learning. Her work explores how digital characters can appear perceptually alive through bodily responses such as deformation, contact, and appearance change. Drawing from production experience in character pipelines, she develops systems that connect artistic intent with technically robust implementation. She aims to study digital characters not only as animated geometry, but as responsive virtual beings whose sense of aliveness can be computationally modeled.
