SIGGRAPH Animation News Roundup
SIGGRAPH 2004, the 31st international conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques wrapped up in Los Angeles on Thursday. More than 27,000 people attended this year's conference, which featured panels and courses on cutting-edge topics in graphics and animation, as well as an extensive exhibition hall including such industry heavyweights as Pixar, PDI Dreamworks, Alias, Softimage, and more. There was also a Computer Animation Festival; "Birthday Boy" was chosen as Best Animated Short, while "Ryan" received the Jury Award. (Clips of the nominees can be seen in the trailer for the festival -- available here.) For a complete rundown (and some great photos), check out the official SIGGRAPH 2004 blog.
