Thursday – Last chance for discoveries in San Diego.
The day started strong with an shared interview of Master "painter" Don Seegmiller with Lillian. Don graciously shared his experience as a proeminent Painter users, his philosophy teaching classes at the university as well as examples of his non-digital paintings – portraits full of grace and life.
After the interview, he went on showing his technique with Painter at Corel’s booth (the picture above is the result of about an hour of work).
Before closing the day with a section of this year’s Animation Theatre I missed on Sunday (Games and FX), I barely had time for one last walk through the Art Gallery and the Emerging Technologies displays.
Enough time to look at a few pieces I missed the first time around, such as the interactive, autonomous Glow Bots or the Digital Confessional. Just about time – coffee shops were being disassembled when I left the exhibit. Sure sign the end of the Conference had arrived.
Fortunately, this year, SIGGRAPH had happy ending – the Renderosity gathering ! We had a great time meeting several fellow members, vendors and guests. One of the best Renderosity parties I have been to so far.
This year’s SIGGRAPH was packed with new experiences. As usual, it went by so quickly that it will take a few days to absorb the overload of images and start getting ready for … next year’s Siggraph Evolution in Los Angeles.
