So I may have done some geeking out this week when I went out to Anaheim to attend SIGGRAPH. SIGGRAPH is a conference and exhibition focused on computer graphics and interactive techniques. It's also a place where big companies gather to showoff their latest industry toys that's going to be booming in the next couple of years...
This would be my 3rd year attending SIGGRAPH. This year it was even more packed than the previous years.
Super thanks to the peeps over LightWave for hooking it up with credentials this year. Nothing like going to an event for free!
Nvidia was showing off all kinds of awesomeness. They even announced their new Kepler GPUs (aka Project logan) and showed off Project Shield, their new handheld gaming device.
I probably spent the most time at the Maxon booth where I saw a variety of power users showoff the new release of Cinema4D.
4k touch displays are definitely the future for conference rooms.
Canon's mixed reality headset is next level. Can't wait to see them implement this tech in their cameras, I give it 5 years.
Been meaning to jump into Pixologic's ZBrush for the longest, but been lagging. Can't wait to get my hands on copy so I can bang out some sculpting and modeling.
SIGGRAPH 2013 was packed with mind blowing next-gen industry tools. Though these tools were made for professionals, a lot of what I saw were priced at an affordable price. Great to see high-end hardware and software coming at an affordable price for everyone.
