CONFERENCIA INTERNACIONAL EN ILUSTRACIÓN Y ANIMACIÓN CONFIA.

The International Conference on Illustration and Animation CONFIA is a place for open debate on the theoretical research and practice about these related areas. This paper reviews its last edition, held in Porto, Portugal, where a very interesting group of international experts came together: artists, researchers and theorists. Paula Tavares reports some considerations on the most relevant papers from this meeting, which exposed some of the focal topics of current practice and research - from the traditional ways of making to the latest technological innovations. With this paper we aim to open the way to CONFIA 2014, which we want to be the Conference of stability and maturity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
