SIGGRAPH Primer
Copyright © 2002 All rights reserved
Many times I get emails or posts in the forum about how to get in touch with ILM
or what is the best way to get into the VFX industry. One of my recommendations
is to attend the annual SIGGRAPH conference. Many times afterwards people ask
me what is SIGGRAPH and how it relates to ILM and VFX, and some that do know might
have never attended the Conference. I'll try to give an overview of the SIGGRAPH
experience and what you might expect to find there and how it might be a good
experience to attend one. Along the way I'll try to give tips denoted by this
little image (having attended several of them) about surviving the Conference
(especially if you attend for the first time) and making the most out of it. Here
is a rather extensive article, beware it's long and somewhat graphic intensive
(the average size is 59 kB).
