For the first time in over 10 years (with just a Covid break), I won’t got to #siggraph this year. I don't think this is the right time to travel to the U.S. And there will be many others who don't want to or can't travel there either. Unfortunately, #acm decided it was best to cancel the virtual tickets this year. So I guess it'll be a SIGGRAPH without me. I'm looking forward to the next SIGGRAPH in #Vancouver. Or anywhere else outside the U.S. #usa #trump #computergraphics #science

#SIGGRAPH has clarified their policy about full refunds for visa denials to include denial at a port of entry.

No virtual attendance option though. But recordings will be made available after the conference.

Well #SIGGRAPH now has a cancelation policy for visa denial, but if you ask me they should have one for entry denial at port of entry.

But also, no Virtual attendance this year? Are they seriously trying to force people to go to LA?

Every one of my 3 #SIGGRAPH 2026 has one review (of four) that gptzero detects as 100% AI generated (not ai polished, or mixed, but 100% generated). 2/3 of those AI tagged reviews argue to reject the paper.

Some shots from the #Siggraph 'Create without Limits' event in #CapeTown this week. Super interesting talks from some of our local #animation companies!

Time to knock off early! Heading to the #Siggraph 'Create without Limits' event in #CapeTown tonight. Always good to network with the #Animation industry in SA. We dont do it enough!

Looks like I'll be coming out for Siggraph in LA this year. Where should I not stay? Koreatown is looking like the closest for a modest budget.

# Advent of #markdown, day 11: Lazy continuation lines

Today's post is a warning. Markdown tries to be very smart with newlines and you need to be careful. The rule of thumb is to always have an empty line after quotes and lists.

Next year I will travel around the world through Canada, the USA and Japan, a month per city. Do you know any cool places and events to visit? Conferences like #siggraph, local meetups like game jams, music, hiking spots...

I'm also looking for travel buddies :)

#rasterizing a series of #vectors from #verticies is relatively straight forward in #computer #graphics #programming, but im interested in the opposite. I.e. taking a raster image and extracting a series of vertices from it. I dont want to use a #library to do it, i want to do it by hand programmatically. Anyone got some good #reading material on how i can develop such an #algorithm? Need it for a project i want to do. #Siggraph #compsci #math #geometry #demoscene
