This encore presentation was given at the SIGGRAPH conference in Vancouver in the International Theater to a full house. For those of you who were unable to attend the SIGGRAPH conference in Vancouver, this is your opportunity to hear this presentation and see the amazing work done by members of our chapter!
After the presentation, DC_SIGGRAPH invites you to share your experiences with those who could not attend the conference this year. Bring your laptop and flash drives and exchange photos. Show off your coveted Pixar teapot! Tell us about the cool parties we missed! Whether or not you attended the conference in Vancouver, please join us for this post-conference wrap-up!

Recently, some of our members have commented on one of our memorable meetings – the ZBrush demonstrations – and have asked about our presenter, Akin. Well, you have the opportunity to ask him yourself! DC_SIGGRAPH would like to invite you to an informal gathering to visit with Akin, hear about the latest work he is doing, his experiences at Disney and where he is working now. Akin will even bring his laptop and give a brief demonstration or some tips/tricks he’s learned the past couple years.
We hope you will join us for this informal gathering. (We apologize for the last minute announcement, but only recently learned Akin was in town for a visit!)
