SIGGRAPH 2001

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-read dept.

Morgan McGuire writes "SIGGRAPH 2001, the graphics industry's main scientific conference and gathering for artists, film producers, researchers, and game developers, just ended. I wrote up my experiences as a game developer/researcher at the conference for flipcode." Lots of stuff for those of us who wish we could go every year and see the pretty pictures. Hits on Shrek, Monsters, Inc. and a variety of new techniques floating around.

    Well, you're ignoring the massively parallel raytracing roundtable I went to, where the big Word of the Day was ``Beowulf''.

    Really. Gigahertz Athlons now qualify as ``hot iron'' simply because you can Beowulf them.

    I suppose they just had to IMAGINE A BEOWULF CLUSTER OF GIGAHERTZ ATHLONS mwa ha ha.

    It's actually on-topic, you morons. That's why it's funny.
