It's great to see New Orleans back - and to see SIGGRAPH back in New Orleans! I'll be in the booth manning our Concept Art kiosk much of the time (Intel is booth #2217) stop by [...]

Mom loves you.  She absolutely adores everything you do. That's why, if you want to excel as an artist, you must throw Mom from the train - in a figurative sense anyway. Why?  Because mom loves the early stages of your art - the messed up line drawings, the noodles and doodles - exactly the [...]

Do you hate it when physics and IK collide?  What is it that either keeps you up at night - or just gives you headaches during the day?  Are there any headaches you've cured recently?
