ICE Nexus 1, the inaugural event by ICE.art and Arcware, has released all session recordings online. For everyone who missed the live stream, the full lineup is available for replay. The sessions covered interactive 3D, digital humans, and the ever-popular topic of real-time graphics.

Who Said What? Speaker Lineup and Sessions

The event opened with a technology overview by Arcware, setting the stage for a day focused on storytelling with interactive 3D content. The speaker roster included:

• Madis Kirsman from Avar on “Virtual 3D Showrooms”—bringing pixel streaming to real projects after eight years in the trenches.
• Rudi Witt and Steffen Schreiber of Access Point AI with “Let Them Speak. Bringing LLM-driven Digital Humans to Life.” These two also introduced VMAT, a branch of their company dedicated to medical education.
• Fabrice Bourrelly, Unreal Engine educator and 3D visualizer, on “The Realtime Revolution.” Bourrelly currently teaches architectural visualization at a UK university—sometimes from Venice.
• Fatih Inan from Bizzlogic with “Visualizing Virtual & Real Worlds.” Inan, with over a decade of experience in immersive tech and Unreal, discussed his daily workflow spanning technology, arts, and deployment.

A panel discussion and outro wrapped up the event, featuring all the above plus Manolis Emmanouilidis and Derk Steemers from Arcware, and Matthias Buehler from VRBN.

The event, hosted live from Arcware’s Munich HQ, managed a hybrid of live presentations, panel chats, and Q&A. Real-time chat allowed for on-the-fly feedback,spontaneous discussions about car configurators and the finer points of architectural visualization. No lengthy monologues—just quick-fire intros and direct answers.

How to Watch

All ICE Nexus 1 recordings are now available via the ICE.art website. Whether you want the Arcware overview, Madis Kirsman’s virtual showroom workflow, the Access Point AI digital human demo, or a taste of Fabrice Bourrelly’s Unreal world, every session is just a click away. Questions about the event or suggestions for the next one can be directed to conference@ice.art.

ICE.ART and Arcware are set to host the inaugural ICE Nexus 1 on June 25, 2025, running from 18:00 to 20:00 CEST, a free online session focused on real‑time 3D pixel streaming via the Unreal Engine. Co‑hosted by Arcware, the event promises succinct technical explorations rather than broad overviews.

ICE Nexus Format: Bite‑Sized, Focused, Free

The session begins with an introduction by ICE’s Matthias Buehler. Arcware’s Manolis Emmanouilidis and Derk Steemers will present their pixel‑streaming stack, detailing platform architecture and deployment options for Unreal‑based 3D environments. The focus is on enabling high‑quality immersive experiences shared via browsers or embedded front‑ends. After a first short break, four themed presentations follow:

1. Virtual 3D Showrooms by Madis Kirsman (AVAR)
2. LLM‑driven Digital Humans by Rudi Witt & Steffen Schreiber (AccessPoint AI)
3. The Realtime Revolution by Fabrice Bourrelly (3DW)
4. Visualizing Virtual & Real Worlds by Fatih Inan (BizzLogic)

These are followed by live Q&A and a themed panel on the current and future role of pixel streaming in production.

Who It’s For and What to Expect

This ICE Nexus event emphasises creativity over tech hype, centring artists handling concept design, real-time workflows, CGI, training/simulation, GIS, or AEC/BIM. Though not deeply technical, the sessions span career advice, budgeting, and industry entry—aimed at both seasoned professionals and emerging talent. ICE Nexus serves as a targeted “deep dive” sub‑brand under the broader ICE.ART umbrella, distinct from its October 2025 flagship “Ice.art“

Why It Matters for Production Artists

Arcware’s pixel‑streaming solution delivers consistent, photorealistic frame output across platforms—ideal for architects, product configurators, e‑commerce, and digital twins. The Munich‑based infrastructure supports scalable, low‑latency streaming with GDPR‑compliant hosting arcware.com. Participants can expect realistic case studies: virtual showroom demos, LLM‑powered digital human interactions, real‑time pipeline innovations, and mixed virtual/physical world visualisation.


Anyone who doesn’t want to wait until the next ICE-Art Nexus this evening (June 25) can now watch all videos from the ICE-ART 2025.I conference online.

And the videos of the second day, we’ll post very soon!

The Stream Scene: Agenda Highlights

After a short intro by ICE’s Matthias Buehler, Arcware’s Manolis Emmanouilidis and Derk Steemers explain how their solutions enable Unreal Engine pixel streaming for developers and 3D artists. Topics include sharing immersive 3D experiences and making real-time content accessible.

Presentations follow on a range of use cases. AVAR’s Madis Kirsman opens with a talk on virtual 3D showrooms. AccessPoint AI’s Rudi Witt and Steffen Schreiber dive into LLM-driven digital humans. 3DW’s Fabrice Bourrelly covers “The Realtime Revolution”, and BizzLogic’s Fatih Inan explores visualizing virtual and real worlds.

A live Q&A and panel discussion close the session, focused on how pixel streaming supports current production and what’s expected next.Topics range from technical workflows and production design to broader career-oriented themes: industry entry, budgeting, contracts, and job security. Tracks are thematic, not deeply technical—yet. The idea is to inspire professionals beyond their silos and to give juniors valuable career insight. The long-term goal: elevate art, artists, and collaboration at the intersection of disciplines.

Good to Know

This ICE Nexus event is part of the larger ICE.ART conference family. While the next full ICE.ART conference is set for October 1st/2nd, 2025, Nexus sessions are more focused one-offs. All industries tied to 3D environments are welcome, including entertainment, GIS, AEC/BIM, and training simulations.
