Technical Papers Preview: SIGGRAPH 2019 

yes sir.

you are not alone dude :)

oo it's Paul Simon in the wild

Some people have Christmas, we have Siggraph.

sadly you never know where the technology ends up..

you monster!

but aren't they gonna melt?

4 years old technology

The next step will be changing a video by adding comments.

@@stromboli183 You can do that with images already, I guess you could make a video with a set of those edited images.

Scary? Not really, it just means that it can't be used as evidence against you anymore. :) Just like editing pictures and movies was "scary as hell" back in the day, now it can't be used as evidence because it may have been tampered with.

Next: this technology will reconstruct a youtube video given only the comments.

Artists scared for their jobs

Let's find a way to cure loneliness by using technology

it's the first thing that comes to my mind. oh look! a fantastic tech that would make an amazing work... never released to the public or implemented in a way that can be used. bummer :L

It's not so easy to implement bugged and lagging prototype into a consumer product, uknow

@@bvg129 lazy people

@@bvg129 more like researchers think that they can get a company started with a single-purpose tool

Actually a lot of it gets integrated in software, just takes time, but also some of the prototypes presented here have very specific use so it's not worth to invest time in implementing them in a general purpose modeling software.

I'm not so sure about that. Go back like 15.. 20 years and there's a game made entierly in clay animation. I think a lot of old adventure games are actually hand drawn. I guess it's a definition question.

@@Mireneye I want a Neverhood MMORPG

Unlike the things shown at E3, these things actually exist :-P

it's expensive to go there, and unless you're a profesional in that field or researcher or something, it's pointless to go there. Unless you're going to buy patents from their creators or something..

Some of the events are live-streamed (Real-Time Live is a great event that streamed last year). Most of the tech papers and some presentations have video recordings that are available to the public for a short bit before being archived in the ACM Digital Library so you can check them out there shortly after the conference. If you're a student, or even recent grad in the case of SIGGRAPH Asia, and are interested in the industry of computer graphics, I highly suggest looking out for and applying to be an student volunteer (SV) for future SIGGRAPH conferences; You won't have to pay for registration in exchange for working around the conference. As xl says, it IS expensive to attend (not even taking into account the travel/hotel costs), and if you don't plan on working in film, games, animation, etc, it most likely won't be worth it. But if you are planning to work or do something with computer graphics, it's one of the best learning and networking events imo. I'm probably biased bc I've served as an SV for a couple years, but again, I think it's amazing and just plain fun.

Yes please :))))))

Because cool people just like you like cool stuff just like this. Je weet toch!

@@ronnetgrazer362 the unexpected nederlands is the deadliest

no you dont.

nothing could've been trusted before too ;)

Yeah that's one thing I don't understand is people act like "Oh no deepfakes are going to allow fake videos of people and stuff" but like misinformation already is a sucky problem and all we have to do is word a headline on reddit in a malicious way and barely anyone will read the article to see what's actually going on

how is that different from using a fake quote, or just lying ?

get help

Wtf
