SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 Technical Papers
The SIGGRAPH Technical Papers program is the premier international forum for disseminating important and provocative new work in computer graphics and interactive techniques. SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 will feature 59 accepted papers. These papers span the core areas of modelling, animation, imaging, and rendering, and many papers span multiple categories to explore, for example: using an image to derive geometric information or using images to drive animations. There is also a strong emphasis on use of graphics hardware (GPUs). All the papers will be published in a special issue of ACM Transactions on Graphics.
SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 Courses
SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 Courses provide invaluable learning opportunities in three formats: tutorials, half-day courses, and full-day courses. Attendees will learn principles and techniques from leading international experts, who present instructional sessions on a comprehensive range of computer graphics and interactive techniques: animation, modelling, rendering, software development, computer-human interaction, entertainment, gaming and scientific visualisation.
