A variety of innovative posters are being presented during SIGGRAPH 2007. This year’s Posters include: Poseable Dynamics for Merlin's Beard, 3000+ Variations of the Voronoi Diagram, Tiled Cracked Networks, and Creating Realistic CG Honey for Bee Movie.
The Posters schedule is as follows:
Poseable Dynamics for Merlin's Beard
By Daniel Dawson
Wednesday, August 8, 12:15pm – 1:15pm
In Shrek the Third, Merlin's beard was simulated using a dynamics system for long strands that could be influenced by hand animation.
3000+ Variations of the Voronoi Diagram
By Saty Raghavachary
Wednesday, August 8, 12:15pm – 1:15pm
A simple observation regarding triangle centers in a Delaunay triangulation leads to diverse variations of the well-known Voronoi diagram, useful for novel image warping, surface deformations, and realistic fracture synthesis.
Tiled Cracked Networks
By Saty Raghavachary
Wednesday, August 8, 12:15pm – 1:15pm
A simple technique uses a single crack prototile triangle to create seamless crack networks over a polymesh. Realistic-looking crack contours and fragments can then be derived from the network.
Creating Realistic CG Honey for “Bee Movie”
By Allen Ruilova
Wednesday, August 8, 12:15pm – 1:15pm
This poster is an examination, from the perspective of lighting, rendering, and fluid simulation, of how to create realistic-looking CG honey.
