Title: SIGGRAPH 2018
Post by: Ondra on 2018-05-09, 13:42:40
Hi,
anybody coming to Vancouver for this year's SIGGRAPH? Corona team will be attending with 3 people, presenting a scientific paper on our adaptive light solver, and doing a extended course on rendering in Archviz, together with Vlado from Chaosgroup, Thomas Ludwig from Indigo, and Henrik Jensen from Keyshot.

As always while at conferences, we would love to grab a beer or two with our users - it is just that at siggraph, they are harder to come by than at our usual venues :D

Me! I live in Vancouver, and will be attending, either representing the company I work for (Scanline), or just as myself (a hobbyist film maker). Send me any details you have if you wanted to catch up, and I can possibly make some suggestions.

I don't know how Canadians eat that stuff, it is a heart attack in food form as far as I'm concerned (I am Australian).

Sorry, no filming/photographing, they are super strict about it. Only way to get it is be there and pay the ticket :/

I had it once, in some dark greasy bistro in Vancouver where everything was sticky from spilled beer. There were 2 koreans at the counter who noticed my Starcraft t shirt and we had long discussion about starcraft 2 (although they did not speak much english). In the end, probably as result of me being "cool starcraft guy", I got some extra gravy. And by extra I mean 75% of my fries being under the surface of it. I was not able to finish it ;).
