I guess #SIGGRAPH now is only for Nvidia and Meta executives #hotelprices

If you had the choice between an IGDA membership, and a SIGGRAPH membership, which of the two would you choose?

An old friend recently did a presentation on #Slang at #SigGraph 2024. Posting it now because I just now ran into the presentation. It's interesting if you know what a shader language is, but don't live in this industry.

Maybe too late, but I hope @ACM #SIGGRAPH considers moving the conference put of the US, next 4 years. You know, Toronto and Montreal have nice convention centers as well

Time for these guys to come out for their grand yearly show …

"Volume Scattering Probability Guiding" (Xu et al. Proceedings of SIGGRAPH Asia 2024) looks interesting:

Volumetric scattering is a significant expense in Avoyd's path tracer, so if I get time to look into & implement this it could be very helpful.

Transformers fans, the San Francisco #SIGGRAPH chapter has a treat for you! Two lead artists from ILM will be talking about their work on "Transformers One" next Wednesday, December 11, at 5pm Pacific time.

I am at #SIGGRAPH in Tokyo. Simply look for a representative of the Imperium of Mankind.

Anyone in Tokyo for #SIGGRAPH Asia? Looking for mixers.

At #Siggraph Asia 2024, we will present MARS: a novel multi-sample multiple importance sampling technique whose efficiency is out of this world!

By bridging the gap between MIS and Russian roulette and splitting, we allocate a local, efficiency-guided budget to every technique automatically. We beat state-of-the-art performance in path guiding and bidirectional path tracing.

Have a look at our paper now already, and join our presentation at #siggraphasia 2024: https://woshicado.eu/MARS

There has NEVER been paper at #SIGGRAPH on Black, Afro-textured hair in its entire 50 year history.

UNTIL NOW.

We introduce CURLY-CUE: GEOMETRIC METHODS FOR HIGHLY COILED HAIR. When you STOP assuming straight hair is a universal baseline, lots of new science opens up.
