DescriptionIn Japan, the reluctance of young people to donate blood has become a social issue. In this study, for the purpose of deterring the trend among young people not to donate blood, we propose a virtual reality (VR) application that changes blood donation into a positive experience by gradually changing the appearance of an avatar from a normal state to a state full of energy according to the elapsed time of blood donation. As a result of a comparison experiment between the proposed method to change blood donation into a positive experience and a method to distract attention by stimulation, it was clarified that the pain of blood donation was significantly alleviated through the proposed method.

Description" Data Weaving" connects digital language and cultural language, developing sound waves of real-time visual programming. It transcodes sound data of local narratives into woven visual patterns, becoming a touchable textile embedded with body artistries and generating local narratives in cross-cultural sound preservations of digital materials. The textiles of " Data Weaving" are stored, arranged, and indexed individual messages in a meaning materialized way, and become a trace of the producers' body marks, as well as a way of interaction in which personal language is memorized and cultural textiles are mutually mended.

DescriptionConsistently orienting the normals of a point cloud is vital for subsequent geometry processing. We use Stokes' theorem to turn this problem into finding the least-squares solution of a sparse linear system. Our method successfully orients normals computed locally from a point cloud and is considerably faster than state-of-the-art methods.

Content Guidance: Adult conversations and subject matter
Standouts: Volumetric Capture that blends with real time environments, powerful storytelling
In "A Vocal Landscape" the creators aim to craft a VR experience that feels familiar and relatable both visually and narratively. Their minimalistic storytelling approach focuses on the niche yet complex subject of human communication, avoiding grand theatrical dialogues or world-saving plots. Instead, they present a naturalistic, late-night conversation between two people, where each person's associations arise from what is said and heard. This simple structure allows for the integration of fantastical visual storytelling and sound design that reveal the deeper resonance of words in our minds, shaped by personal backgrounds. By making the experience akin to photographic cinema, they aim to ensure that the audience can easily connect with the characters and storyline, minimizing the challenges of VR immersion.

DescriptionThe ACM SIGGRAPH Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee is excited to present a gathering focused on an ongoing project that combines animation, artificial intelligence, and advocacy to address concerns surrounding LGBTQIA+ discrimination in the workplace. This event will provide a space for discussions, tools, and skill building designed to foster support for LGBTQIA+ individuals within the professional communities of computer graphics and interactive techniques.
The event will feature a speaker as well as an interactive simulation, the subject of a recent publication exploring the use of generative AI paired with character animation and motion capture to support LGBTQIA+ advocacy. Participants engage with virtual characters in scenarios that reflect real-world challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals, particularly focusing on the dynamics of coming out at work.
The session will highlight the crucial role of AI in bridging gaps between an individual’s professional and personal life in ways that are designed to foster inclusivity and acceptance in the workplace. We will also discuss the historical contributions of queer individuals to AI and computing, from Alan Turing to contemporary figures, emphasizing the inherent "queerness" in the field.
Professional hurdles facing LGBTQIA+ individuals will be addressed and engaged in an open conversation facilitated by the speaker and members of SIGGRAPH’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. This event aims to equip attendees- both LGBTQIA+ and allies (and all) with the tools and insights needed to advocate effectively for LGBTQIA+ individuals, promoting a more inclusive and supportive workplace throughout all areas of the computer graphics industry.

Description"Algorithmic Amplification" leverages large language models to create a tangible representation of digital echo chambers, highlighting how language shapes perceptions and reinforces beliefs. It examines AI's effect on language and culture, revealing a paradox: while LLMs are a major AI advancement, they can also amplify societal biases. Participants insert their upper body into an enclosure and express an opinion. Autonomous agents validate and reinforce this opinion, simulating a social media echo chamber. Much like online discussions, as time goes by the arguments degenerate, become more extreme, more absolute, all without guidance.

DescriptionJoin Rodeo FX as they delve into the acclaimed series 'Masters of the Air'. Led by VFX Supervisor, Patrick David, this session offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the meticulous craft of recreating historical authenticity.
Set against the backdrop of World War II, 'Masters of the Air' demanded a level of attention to detail that went beyond traditional storytelling. On the ground, Rodeo FX recreated three different prisoner of war camps and populated them with thousands of digital soldiers. In the sky, the team also created a fully computer-generated sequence sending 'Red Tails' P40 warhawks on a bombing mission. Each frame became deeply rooted in research and extensive reference - the VFX process becoming a careful blend of history, technology, storytelling and artistic vision.

DescriptionGiven a set of multi-view images with photometric variation, our method reconstructs a high-quality radiance field without "floaters" by disentangling the inconsistent camera processing across different views. Furthermore, we propose a radiance-finishing approach that can lift user-provided 2D retouching to 3D, achieving compelling renditions consistently over the entire scene.

DescriptionLetterform (2017) is a series of A.I.-generated letters that explore the limits of written language systems to the point where they break down beyond the compromised inherited structures of computation. Each form was generated with a recurrent neural network (Google’s Sketch RNN model) trained with an input of a database of written world alphabet letters, mainly Indigenous and non-Western, to produce new letters as memorials of what is lost, mediated by programmed code languages, then coded into machine intelligence. The forms contain hundreds of artifacts from tracing alphabet letters as vector points, to stroke-based drawings as “handwriting,” training the computer to remember languages other than Roman English, over one million times, with intelligence to generate new letterforms. The A.I. model generates new letterforms, understanding each vector point as a squiggle, creating emergent and disobedient forms open for intepretation.

DescriptionThis panel will discuss Designing the Computational Image, Imagining Computational Design, a new book visually exploring the emergence of new methods for representation, simulation, and manufacturing linked to computers, and reflecting on their impact across design fields. The book explores the three decades following the Second World War, when government investment in university research in North America and the UK funded multidisciplinary projects to investigate the use of computers for manufacturing and design. Documenting a series of exhibitions, the book explores this period of remarkable inventiveness and traces its repercussions on architecture and other creative fields through the work of computational architects, designers, and artists working today.
Alongside a compelling visual archive showcasing hundreds of unpublished or lesser-known computational images, drawings, films, and software, the book features essays by architecture, media, and science and technology scholars offering close readings of specific images, as well as conversations and interviews with historical protagonists and contemporary practitioners. Together, these materials illuminate in unprecedented detail the confluence of technical innovations in software, geometry, and hardware with a fledging technological imaginary of design and creativity, tracing the emergence — and reimagining the potentials — of a vibrant field of interdisciplinary research and practice.

DescriptionNVIDIA Kaolin Library is a PyTorch library for 3D deep learning, offering a continuously expanding collection of tools that make 3D research not only faster, but more interactive. Using hands-on code samples, this lab will introduce the new physics simulation module, based on the Simplicits method (published this SIGGRAPH), which allows running physics simulation over any 3D representation. Specifically, the lab will show how to set up a physics simulation of a 3D Gaussian Splat reconstruction, interact with it, and visualize it in a jupyter notebook in just a few lines of code. In addition, we'll walk the audience through code samples covering key features of Kaolin, such as differentiable rendering with PBR materials, consistent geometry imports into PyTorch, debugging and inspection of custom 3D render functions, and much more. Finally, we'll discuss how to use Kaolin Library API to connect 3D AI research to the live USD scene inside NVIDIA Omniverse, showing a released code sample for Diffusion Texture Painting (also published this SIGGRAPH).

DescriptionIn this demo, we use NVIDIA Omniverse to showcase the use of a digital twin for manufacturing and transport with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The digital twins are digital replicas of physical assets and help to monitor, simulate and optimize operational performance in real time, increasing operational efficiency and improving decision making. This demonstration leverages a digital twin of a fleet of delivery vehicles. Vehicle telematics data from real-world GPS, fuel-usage, and engine-health data are ingested into OCI. Within NVIDIA Omniverse, an interactive 3D model of the fleet is created and continuously updated with fleet management, predictive maintenance and health monitoring, and route optimization.
This demonstration showcases the potential of OCI’s secure, elastic AI Infrastructure and NVIDIA’s full-stack accelerated computing platform. NVIDIA Omniverse’s comprehensive visualization and simulation capabilities enables improved fleet vehicle operations by providing a live digital twin for monitoring, predictive maintenance, and optimization. Additionally, NVIDIA cuOPT optimizes operations by enabling better and faster decisions for route optimization. The production grade solution runs on NVIDIA L40S GPUs on OCI backed by the OCI Cluster Network (Superclusters) for scalability and resiliency.

DescriptionThe performance of dynamic radiance fields reduces significantly with sparse input viewpoints. We design a fast and explicit motion-model using factorized volumes and regularize with flow priors. Since cross-camera dense-flow-priors are unreliable, we obtain reliable flow priors as a combination of cross-camera sparse-flow-prior and same-camera dense-flow-prior to constrain the motion-model.

DescriptionNear the end of the first century, Roman architect Vitruvius identified three essential elements for a well-designed building: firmitas, utilitas, and venustas (translated as firmness, commodity, and delight). These guiding principles are suitable for not just the built environment but can also serve as a rubric for building great XR experiences. While firmness is addressed through the various backend constraints of producing the XR continent, the utility (also known as a commodity) deals with UX development and XR's comfort concerns. Still, we are left with the concept of “delight.” The nuances of delight stretch far beyond the visual aesthetics and various sensory inputs. Delight reaches into the subtle aspects of XR and explores what people feel and how these experiences can move them emotionally. The future of positive and well-designed XR experiences would well reflect the relationship between these three design aspects. This talk organized by ACM SIGGRAPH Design Committee.

The archive is an online repository and physical collection of artifacts and documents from the ACM Special Interest Group on Graphics and Interactive Techniques and includes both documentation of conference and organization events. The archive team is co-directed by Bonnie Mitchell and Jan Searleman and consists of student interns and volunteers from the SIGGRAPH community. Some of the volunteers focus on a particular task such as image processing whereas other team members focus on data entry and scanning. The archive also is supported by a large group of SIGGRAPH community members through donations of materials, support for the student interns, and advice. Members of the team will speak about their roles and the successes and challenges they faced. We will also talk about the physical archive and its future. This session will also be an opportunity for the SIGGRAPH community to offer suggestions and assistance in helping to make the past 50 years of SIGGRAPH conferences as well as information about the organization available to researchers, academics, and the community at large.

DescriptionGradient AI fine-tuned Meta’s Llama3 models on long-context data to develop derivatives capable of processing up to 1 million tokens worth of text (again, ~700k words). Powered by Crusoe’s climate-aligned cloud, Gradient was able to release these to the developer community only a few weeks after Meta’s initial launch of Llama3. These models are available on HuggingFace, the most popular model repository, and to date have been downloaded over 100k times.
By open-sourcing these models, Crusoe and Gradient enabled developers to continue to innovate on long-context models. With over 100k users, the community can identify weaknesses, highlight strong suits, and create new, unique user experiences. Such releases also challenge closed-source companies to further invest in their offerings and spur democratization of key technologies.

DescriptionWētā FX is known for many things in the VFX world, but one of their hallmarks is pretty bananas… From Peter Jackson’s King Kong, to Caesar in Rise, Dawn, and War of the Planet of the Apes, through to The Umbrella Academy's loveable and intelligent chimpanzee, Pogo, the team has done it all.
But what has this repeat monkey business meant for workflows and innovations that have all led up to the latest instalment of the Apes franchise, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes? In this talk, Visual Effects Supervisor's Erik Winquist, Kevin Smith, and Phillip Leonhardt and Animation Supervisors Paul Story, and Aidan Martin, will chart the evolution of this particular kind of character work, and the unique workflows that always make audiences go ape.
In this session, the panel will take a look at Wētā FX’s first foray into primates, starting with 2005’s King Kong, to discuss how the fully CG character marked a true technical achievement for the Animation, Motion Capture, and Facial Animation departments at the time. All things that laid the foundational approach for all primate characters that would follow.
Jumping forward to 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the panel will share insight into what it was like to reimagine the classic franchise’s main characters digitally for the first time, and explore the further enhancements to performance capture and facial performance systems that enabled audiences to emotionally connect to the characters. The panel will share the challenges the Wētā team had to overcome and how it further shaped how VFX artists approach primates - and creatures in general - in the VFX world.
Using the knowledge gained from Wētā 's multitude of monkeys over the years, the team will reflect on bringing their most human-like primate, Pogo, to life. As one of Wētā's more sophisticated characters, Pogo has been dressed in various costumes, fur grooms, and ages - but the spirit of Pogo has remained true while the team embraced the characters' many variations.
To wrap up this evolutionary journey, this session will introduce the host of new simian characters that have been welcomed into the Wētā family in 2024 in both Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - sharing the modern techniques to bringing the variety of primates to life.

DescriptionTMNT: Mutant Mayhem took on the monumental challenge of modernizing a very well-known and beloved franchise.
It was important to the director, Jeff Rowe, that the audience believe the turtles were real teenagers… from their awkward bodies to how they acted (including their voices which were recordings of actual teenagers). The modeling also had to reveal all the imperfections related to their mutant nature, serving the idea of a teenager’s insecure life.
In line with this teenager vibe, the director and the production designer, Yashar Kassai, established the idea that the film design would suggest that it was created by an immature teenager drawing this movie in his sketchbook, with all of his naivety and energy.
The visual standards were very ambitious in that Mikros Animation was expected to deliver the quality and look of 2D concept art at each frame. To do that, Mikros and Paramount had to reconsider many parts of the classical CG workflow and pipeline, from asset creation to animation, through compositing.
There have been many explorations of bringing 2D aesthetics into 3D. Mutant Mayhem was unique in pushing this stylization at every step for a look that was not simply toon-shaded, but a sophisticated use of color and moods.
That includes:
- The ability for modeling to simulate pencil lines with curves when developing their assets, giving another approach in the treatment of details.
- Stepped animation without classical motion and the creation of pencil lines on the fly in Maya for various 2D motion blur effects and enhancements to expression.
- A sophisticated lookdev workflow from surfacing to lighting, providing a stylized beauty pass to compositing with a good amount of control and graphic features. This included dynamic pencil grain applied on curve objects and the ability to give a painterly look to each light individually. The texture of the characters is not just painted, the lights themselves look like they are hand drawn.
- Development in the lookdev of hair, one of the most challenging parts of giving a 2D look to a CG asset. Mikros approached the fabrication with procedural hair and a more specific shape to create a cohesive look.
- Custom tools in compositing to develop a show-specific defocus, motion blur, and flares throughout all sequences.
Building the stylization at each step gave the director a strong vision for the graphic quality of the assets and lighting out of render before the finalization of shots in compositing. All of these techniques were developed to give the best artistic leverage to each department, to add artistic and show specific features… and ultimately to create a hand-crafted feel.

DescriptionMoment Factory is excited to invite attendees to a production session at SIGGRAPH 2024, where we'll delve into the innovative production of the American rock band Phish concert series at Sphere™, a massive entertainment venue located near the Las Vegas Strip. This multimedia mega-canvas is unlike any other, and our presentation will cover the collaborative effort, creative challenges, and technical breakthroughs achieved within a demanding three-month timeline.
Collaborative Efforts Behind the Scenes
Central to the success of this project was the tight collaboration between artists and technologists. This multidisciplinary cooperation was crucial in tackling the complexities of producing content for one of the largest and most sophisticated screen surfaces ever built. Our session will showcase the collective ingenuity and problem-solving that brought our vision to life.
Creative Challenges
In just three months, our team managed to conceptualize, design, produce, and integrate over 8 hours of custom content, working under the motto of "building the plane as we fly it." This required a rapid and flexible production approach. We'll discuss the creative and logistical hurdles of crafting four distinct shows that captured the band's spontaneous "jam" essence. These shows required a production style that could adapt dynamically to the band’s improvisational performances, without relying on traditional time-coded cues.
Content Strategy
Sphere™’s dome-like screen demanded content with exceptional detail in ultra-high resolutions, pushing our team to new creative heights. We developed a modular show-flow incorporating various thematic elements, from takeover and graphic to abstract moments, designed to maximize pixel space usage. This strategy aimed to deliver a range of sensations and create immersive, illusionary effects. We'll outline how we balanced real-time and pre-rendered scenes and the pivotal role of Generative AI (Gen-AI) in accelerating our production pace and enhancing the visual narrative.
Technical Challenges
The project required pushing the limits of what's possible with cutting-edge technology. We'll explain how we utilized real-time engines like Notch and Unreal Engine to deliver smooth content at 16K resolution and 29.97fps. Our session will also cover the integration of Gen-AI-generated assets into our workflow, particularly through a multi-modular Diffusion model using ComfyUI. We faced numerous challenges with Gen-AI, including managing input types (images, texts, videos), structural control, upscaling techniques, and using detailers/refiners to enhance the detail in generated outputs.
Visual 'Jamming'
To align with the band's improvisational style, we developed a 'VJing-style' control toolbox. This toolbox, controllable externally through the grandMA lighting console, facilitated visual 'jamming' in sync with the band's live performances. We will discuss the effective use of this toolbox with layered pre-rendered content.
Conclusion
Our session aims to highlight Moment Factory’s dedication to innovation in location-based and large-scale multimedia experiences. We hope to inspire fellow creators and technologists to explore new creative territories and push beyond the familiar.

DescriptionJoin DNEG VFX Supervisor, Stephen James, and CG Supervisor, Marc Austin, for an in-depth behind-the-scenes look at the visual effects that brought the most hotly-anticipated sequel of the year to life!
Following the success of their award-winning work for ‘Dune: Part One’, DNEG was proud to serve once again as the main VFX partner for ‘Dune: Part Two’. A fully global DNEG team of over 1700 crew tackled close to 1,000 VFX shots across 31 sequences in the film.
Building upon the aesthetic that the team helped to craft for ‘Dune: Part One’, DNEG’s key work for ‘Part Two’ involved big FX sequences with incredibly complex sand and pyro sims, large-scale CG environments to expand the world of Arrakis, massive crowds, high-resolution hero digi-doubles, a plethora of CG vehicle assets, and detailed creature animation - from the giant sandworms down to the tiny desert mice.
‘Dune: Part Two’ expands on the first film in all ways - bigger, bolder, and with much more action. As such, DNEG’s work pushed the creative and technical boundaries of VFX to create something new, exhilarating and awe-inspiring, bringing to life the epic battles with a scale beyond anything that’s been seen before.
This talk will offer an in-depth and comprehensive look at the ground-breaking VFX work that created the locations, simulations, and creatures which bring the ‘Dune: Part Two’ story to life on the big screen. It’s time to return to Arrakis!

DescriptionThe series RGB brings the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) into the material world. In crafting her weave, she meticulously extracted the red, green, and blue color values from a digital image of the CMB and translated them into the warp threads of her twenty-four-shaft dobby loom. These digital bits of color, representing the primordial origins of light, are given tangible form through careful selections of earthly cotton materials and skilled manual labor. The repetitive pattern she weaves creates a dizzying moiré effect, making the tapestry seem to tremble and expand in and out of depth. In this textile form, the CMB is re-envisioned not as a flat image on a screen but as a material that cloaks and permeates every object in the universe. Rosalena's use of CMB maps allows her to delve into the origins of time, forging new connections between scientific data and the tactile processes of material craft, embodying a profound engagement with the physical and conceptual layers of her work.

DescriptionDaniel Cardoso Llach and Theodora Vardouli’s joint presentation will explore the entwining of computer graphics and interactive techniques with design and architecture, a territory they have been charting both through their individual scholarship and collaborative work. Drawing on extensive archival materials from research laboratories across North America and the U.K. — including rare images, films, and software reconstructions — their talk will reveal the inventive, and sometimes flawed, attempts to harness the computer as a creative tool. Foregrounding imagination as both a motive and effect of technological pursuits, and as an approach to history-making, the presentation will underscore the mutual formation of technologies and conceptions of design, creativity, and work. Further, it will show how we might challenge the boundary between memory and imagination: what it means to remember the past, and to imagine the future.
Daniel Cardoso Llach and Theodora Vardouli are the founders of lattice.space, a platform for critical and creative research at the nexus of design and computation, and the co-authors and co-editors of Designing the Computational Image (AR+D 2023), a book visually examining the history of computational methods for representation, simulation, and manufacturing and their contemporary repercussions across creative fields. Their work, both as individual scholars and as collaborators, explores the historical entwining of computing with design and architecture.
Daniel Cardoso Llach, Ph.D., is associate professor of architecture at Carnegie Mellon University, where he chairs the Computational Design program and directs the Computational Design Laboratory (CodeLab). He is the author of numerous publications, exhibitions, and technologies critically examining the interplay of computing and design including the book Builders of the Vision: Software and the Imagination of Design (Routledge 2015).

DescriptionDr. Dava Newman’s keynote presentation will cover the theme of “Humanity Becoming Interplanetary: Exploring Space for Earth”. Our amazing Webb Space Telescope discoveries to recent space science missions to Pluto and Jupiter, the discovery of thousands of exoplanets, and orbital missions to monitor Spaceship Earth provide a cosmic perspective. Humanity will become interplanetary and find life elsewhere; however, Mars is not “Plan B”. Spaceship Earth, our pale blue dot, is the most magnificent planet for humanity to thrive. Earth is speaking to us — are we listening? A visual, interactive Earth Mission Control is revealed that will help take actions to regenerate Earth’s oceans, land, and atmosphere subsystems. The “overview effect” from space lets us appreciate Earth’s interconnected systems through supercomputer data visualizations and hyper-local narratives of natural disasters with the goal to accelerate collective actions for a healthier future between humanity and our home planet.

DescriptionSIGGRAPH 2024 officially starts with opening remarks from Conference Chair Andres Burbano, ACM SIGGRAPH leadership, and the ACM President.
Remarks to be followed by the Keynote Speaker Dr. Mark Sagar.
The essence of animation is creating the illusion of life, convincing the audience that a character is alive and has its own feelings and thoughts. Is it possible to bring an interactive digital character to “life” who can “think,” “feel,” have experiences, and act with volition? What is it, exactly, to think, to feel, to experience? In this keynote, Dr. Mark Sagar will discuss his team’s biologically based approach, where they are developing a virtual nervous system analogous to our own, combining computational models of sensory, cognitive and emotional processes, language, behavior, and motor systems. These systems activate virtual muscles to animate a virtual face and body, sensing, learning, acting, and reacting in real time. The interoperation of these systems in face-to-face and shared interactions is exemplified in projects like BabyX, a simulated toddler which aims to enhance our comprehension of social learning and behavior — but it can also serve as groundwork for achieving human-like cooperation with future artificial intelligence. Dr. Sagar will elaborate how creating the inner life of a character is strongly linked with the “body,” one of the central thematic focuses of the conference.
Double-Academy Award winner Dr. Mark Sagar is the co-founder and Former Chief Science Officer of Soul Machines and Director of the Laboratory for Animate Technologies at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute. Mark and his team are bringing technology to life, pioneering the creation of autonomously animated virtual humans with virtual brains and nervous systems — capable of highly expressive face-to-face interaction and real-time learning and emotional response — to create the next generation of human interaction with biologically inspired artificial intelligence. Mark has a Ph.D. in engineering from the University of Auckland and was a postdoctoral fellow at MIT. He previously worked as the special projects supervisor at Weta Digital and Sony Pictures Imageworks and developed technology for the digital characters in blockbusters such “Avatar,” “King Kong,” and “Spiderman 2.” His pioneering work in computer-generated faces was recognized with two consecutive Scientific and Engineering Oscars in 2010 and 2011. Mark was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 2019 and was named New Zealand Innovator of the Year in 2022.

DescriptionTEDi introduces a novel approach to long-term motion synthesis by entangling the denoising diffusion time-axis with the temporal motion time-axis. This is achieved through temporally varying denoising, allowing TEDi to generate high-quality, diverse motions auto-regressively. This new mechanism paves the way towards a new framework for long-term motion synthesis.

DescriptionA celebratory social gathering to commence "New Media Architecture(s): Virtual Topologies in Urban Spaces," an exhibition of moving-image and new media artworks presented on architectural scale video displays and projection-mapped upon the Daniels & Fisher Tower in the downtown Denver Theater District. The artists in this exhibition will address the affordances and complexities of pervasive media display in the urban landscape. Participating artists find themselves in the mixed company of paid advertisements and programmed marketing, their works randomly activated within a public display system, amidst an assortment of unrelated, countervailing content. Their brief aesthetic interruptions will offer moments of reflection, humor, and repose amidst an onslaught of marketed programming, as well as opportunities to consider place-making and the social relations of pervasive media topologies in the contemporary urban space. This exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Denver Theater District, Night Lights Denver, and ACM SIGGRAPH Digital Arts Committee.

DescriptionThis production session presents the What, How, and Why of bringing to life the physical installations and data-driven visualizations featured at the Earth Information Center (earth.gov). The session shares with the SIGGRAPH community the challenges of, approaches to, and lessons learned from visualizing data for climate action and sheds light on research agendas and upcoming efforts.
First of its kind and launched in June 2023 at NASA Headquarters in Washington DC, the Earth Information Center (EIC) provides a holistic view of how our planet is changing in ways that affect the lives and livelihoods of individuals and communities across the globe. The EIC, which is spearheaded and coordinated by NASA, brings actionable data to the hands of the public by partnering with U.S. Federal Government agencies including EPA, FEMA, NOAA, USAID, USDA and USGS.
The EIC has two major components: 1) the backend cyber infrastructure of providing to the public actionable, easy-to-use data and information about Earth’s changing systems, and 2) physical exhibits located at centers across the US that bring data to life. The exhibits include hyperwalls, immersive and interactive experiences, showing the latest information about our climate.
This session is presented by a team of artists, Earth data visualization experts, and visualization researchers. The team shares with the SIGGRAPH community the goals and challenges of, processes involved in, and outcomes of creating and executing on such large scale exhibits for the general public. Specifically, the presentation focuses on the physical installations, the development of data-driven visualization media, the required pipelines and the open research questions explored by the team. The NASA team had less than 6 months to bring the exhibit to life for the launch of the Center.

DescriptionVocable Code is both a work of “software art” (software as artwork, not software to make an artwork) and a “codework” (where the source code and critical writing operate together) produced to embody “queer code”, examining the notion of queerness in computer coding through the interplay of different human and nonhuman voices. Collective statements and voices complete the phrase “Queer is…” and together make a computational and poetic composition.

DescriptionWAR IS OVER! brings the classic John Lennon and Yoko Ono song to life in this highly stylized, Oscar-winning animated film. Entrusted with the director's vision of creating a world akin to being inside a “living, breathing concept painting”, the Wētā FX team went to work crafting the unique aesthetic, utilising Unreal Engine. In this session, Creative Director and VFX Supervisor Keith Miller will be joined by CG Supervisor, Ross McWhannell, Animation Supervisor, Aidan Martin, Digital Cinematographer, David Scott, and VFX Producer, Sophie Cherry to explore the art and technology employed across production.
Already familiar with Epic Games' Unreal Engine, the team endeavored to push the creative boundaries of the technology to ensure the emotional narrative of the film could be realised visually. From look development and animation style to creatively figuring out the story beats, the Wētā FX team was highly involved from the onset. The panel will talk through their approach to production - beginning with just a script and storyboard, they will discuss some of the anticipated challenges and why Unreal Engine was the adopted solution.
Exploring the look development, the panel will provide insight into the artistic choices present throughout the film, looking at intricate details such as the texture, brush, and linework and how they blended the painterly visuals of the production design with the gritty realism of war. In this session, you'll be taken behind the scenes of the motion capture process and find out how later motion capture shoots could utilise Unreal Engine and the shots work done on the environments and characters.
Unreal Engine served as the framework for the project – the focal point of the individual elements and disciplines fused into a unified working space. Rounding out the session, the panel will discuss how they leveraged the strengths and efficiencies of real-time filmmaking with Unreal Engine while integrating with their existing VFX animation pipelines, and how the real-time workflow enabled a new level of responsiveness, allowing for iterative freedom throughout the project.
This session will conclude with the panel reflecting on their real-time workflow process, looking at the valuable insight gained, changes that need to be implemented, and the next steps of unreal creativity.

That is, words that tend to possess our minds and souls can also become chains. This inspired me to create a device that forms letters with chains. The device automatically writes the above aphorism as the work title. When the device finishes writing, the words are deconstructed, the letters return to the chains, and blanks remain. Then, the automatic writing begins again.

DescriptionWe expend previous woven fabric capture pipeline to support transmission. For that, we propose a two-layer BSDF model including a new azimuthally invariant phase function that matches multiple scattering of real fabrics well. Then we take reflection-transmission photo pair using simple setup, recovered both reflection and transmission of woven fabric.

DescriptionX-SLAM is a real-time dense differentiable SLAM system. It exploits CSFD for an accurate and robust (high-order) numerical differentiation, which avoids the need for the computational graph and substantially reduces the memory footprint. X-SLAM is compatible with most SLAM algorithms. Evaluations via real-world applications show clear improvements over existing solutions.

DescriptionAt the end of the Kung Fu Panda 3, Oogway calls Po “Both sides of the Yin and Yang. And my true successor.” Now as we enter the fourth installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise, Po is faced with a new challenge of growth, his promotion to the spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace. We accompany Po as he visits both familiar and new locales where he meets new friends, including a thief named Zhen, as well as finding a dangerous villain with far reaching shape shifting powers, The Chameleon. But in order to become the spiritual leader, he must understand what it means to have the balance of Yin and Yang.
This session will explore how the filmmakers kept balance at the forefront of their design and technology decisions; the innovative new FX techniques for transforming animated characters, the use of Real Time game engines to build out and discover new worlds, the various threads of the story - good vs evil, familiar vs new, heart vs action.
