art3mis Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Other than what I can source online was wondering if anyone has some feedback, especially if you've attended. What's new and exciting? Any noticeable trends in the world of CG, rendering, etc (other than predictably more VR, AR stuff)? Trying to make time to go thru some of the live sessions and read some of the papers. http://s2017.siggraph.org/live-streaming-sessions Not sure how long they will be posted for free Lots to digest:) http://www.siggraph.org/sites/default/files/SIGGRAPH-2017-Emerging-Technologies.html http://www.siggraph.org/sites/default/files/SIGGRAPH-2017-Real-Time-Live.html http://www.siggraph.org/sites/default/files/SIGGRAPH-2017-Art-Gallery.html http://www.siggraph.org/sites/default/files/SIGGRAPH-2017-Talks.html http://www.siggraph.org/sites/default/files/SIGGRAPH-2017-VR-Village.html Edited August 2, 2017 by art3mis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art3mis Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 http://area.autodesk.com/siggraph2017 Lots of great content posted. Wish SESI would do something similar. Anyone reading this attend any of theses presentations? https://www.sidefx.com/community/siggraph-2017/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Dunlap Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I grabbed em (SESI sessions) while they were hot! If you blinked they where gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malexander Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I believe the intention was always to post them after the conference, and they were accidentally made public and that's been fixed. But from what I saw of the them, they'll be worth the wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Fwiw some critical feedback from what was posted before is that we are looking for detailed muscle results. The setup and sim times should really be worth it vs setting blend shapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev2 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I watched a few minutss of the Crowds and Knippling's Booleans. Solid stuff. I wish they weren't holding them back asI have a long flight tomorrow and was going to settle into some HoudiniFlix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More and more studios write their own pathtracer. Vectorization is key these days. Pretty much everybody also has/uses a denoiser. Time to have one for Mantra? Dark beer is the next big thing after IPA. edit: Oh, and of course deep learning is making all sorts of inroads into the 3d world.

Thomas Helzle Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 https://www.awn.com/news/pixar-animation-studios-showcases-new-rendering-technologies-siggraph-2017 Could be interesting. Basically what Thea does for years (using CPU and GPU simultaneously) but in a more production oriented renderer... Looking forward to how it actually performs. Watched Matt Ebbs video and Anastasia Oparas so far - awesome to see how some people are wired. One writes a path tracer for thrills, the other is so into proceduralism that she even creates image frame profiles with an L-System. Simply brilliant! :-) Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
