  1. Our tech editor, VFX supervisor Todd Sheridan Perry, offers honest observations on the recent SIGGRAPH conference & expo in Los Angeles. #SIGGRAPH #animation #vfx

  2. So it seems the attendance for #SIGGRAPH 2026 was about 9500, a bit above Denver, but about 4,775 less that Los Angeles 2023, and almost 3000 less than Vancouver last year.

    But while digging around, stumbled by accident to the Chair's Corner blog. Didn't know one of the EC members had quit over disagreements how the conference has been handled. Whole thing here:

    Hope things get straightened out for next year.

  6. Ooooh apparently the #SIGGRAPH Real-Time Live! was livestreamed. Better than nothing I guess. Will probably watch over the weekend. Hopefully we'll get a bit more content later on (keynotes, awards talks, etc.)

  8. belated highlights of #siggraph day 3: “Online Radiance Cache Acceleration” (real-time path tracing, _sans temporal accumulation_), “Tool UX Design and Workflow” (tons of insights from across the industry), “Spatiotemporal FLIP” (drastic speedup for fluid sims by treating particles as 4-dimensional)

  9. Yikes! Hope people will land something soon. And to think that apparently long time ago didn't need conreacts because they would want to stay for a very long time. Wonder what the mood ar #SIGGRAPH will be.

  11. Yikes! Hope people can land something soon. And to think that apparently a longtime ago people didn’t have contracts because they would be willing to stay almost forever. I wonder what the mood will be at #SIGGRAPH

  15. favorite sessions of #siggraph day 2: “Co-Design in Computer Graphics” (how to work better with users of art tools), “Single-View Holographic Volumetric 3D Printing” (whole-object-at-once prints in resin—early but super cool), “Differentiable Polyphase Filtering” (clever approach to a tough problem)

  18. Feel sorta weird. Part of me is numb and feels nothing for not attending #SIGGRAPH for the 1st time ever, in over 30 years. But the other part really misses it as it has been an integral part of me.

    But I did take a stand and hope the organization reconsiders its decision not to have a virtual option. Hoping things really change after the mid-terms to maybe make it next year. If not, will wait till 2028 Vancouver.

    Have fun Siggy buddies

  20. My daughter (who just graduated in art & tech from UO) is a student volunteer at SIGGRAPH this year — thirty years after I was an SV in New Orleans.

    She’s also looking for a job in digital art. If anybody knows folks who will be at #SIGGRAPH interested in hiring new grads, or just has tips or suggestions of who she should talk to, let me know! She’s interested in everything from environmental game art to XR to graphic design.
