Great Tammy. Thanks. You have a photo of Vue d'Esprit too?


EricofSD posted Wed, 30 July 2003 at 1:38 AM

Sorry I couldn't be there. Overtime at work. Too many people to sue these days. I am so disappointed at missing it.

Ohh this is just Tooo much fun, thanks so much Tammy - almost as fun as being there! I can hardly wait for todays postings :) Hey Eric - the good thing is that there is always next year :) ladynimue

Guitta... I don't think e-on is at SIGGRAPH this year. They are not listed as exhibitors and I haven't seen much about Vue after walking around the exhibition hall a couple of times.


agiel posted Wed, 30 July 2003 at 11:51 AM

A couple more shots of some famous people that were seen on the exhibition floor. Here is the incredible Spiderman...

agiel posted Wed, 30 July 2003 at 11:52 AM

... and here is Terminatrix. Dr Evil and mini-me were there too (not kidding) but I didn't get a chance to take a picture.

Man Siggraph looks like a load of fun. I wish I could have went this year, maybe somehow with some stroke of luck I can make it next year. MD

You all would have been proud! The people here 'behind the scenes' are so very nice. Nice flow of traffic, and these incredible renders from the galleries pulsating off a good-sized screen (along with techno rock) were mesmerizing. It feels good to volunteer for this community. BillyGoat

We were helping Vue with passing out ad sheets for them. They are not here that I can see. Sorry - gebe. agiel - cool pics. you beat me here with the Terminatrix... ah well, your image was better than mine. :) Here are some more images.... Animation Masters

It was really nice to see the Renderosity booth. I will wear my T-shirt with pride! Wish I could run away from work and go again today, but alas the chain is back on in my office... If you get a chance, please take a picture of the Maxon booth. I spent a bundle of money there! Don't forget to get the cool pen from Intel. Lights up! Peggy

Hey Tammy;
Could you post a shot of Joe Grover for us (aka LawnDart)? He's out there pitching Poser 5 Demystified for us at the Curious Labs booth and he just LOVES to be on film!

The truth is, we want verification that he is really at the show, as we're not sure whether he said he'd be out of the office all week working Siggraph or working Seaworld.

Hope you're enjoying the show and beautiful San Diego. Please give our best to Audry - and if she'll let you, post a shot of her as well.

Best regards,
Karen @ 3-AXIS


ClintH posted Thu, 31 July 2003 at 8:15 PM

Hi Karen, Joe was there and working his rear off. :) Joe is such a wonderful person. We had a few really good conversations. I was able to meet the other folks from CL as well. :) He and I will also be hooking up at Dragon*CON next month as well. ;) I hope to speak with you on the phone in the next few weeks. Joe has my contact information and said he would be getting it to you. Regards, Clint

Great shots, thanks so much. I can play some sound tracks of people in a public place and close my eyes and just imagine that I work for a kind benevolent boss who lets me attend these sort of things. Then I open my eyes and have to immediately reach for a glass of wine.


timoteo1 posted Mon, 04 August 2003 at 12:04 PM

Thanks for all those shots ... wish I was there too. Did anyone happen to see any booths utilizing holograms?? Just curious, as that is my business and SIGGRAPH looks like a prime spot for large scale holograms. Thanks, Tim


Spike posted Mon, 04 August 2003 at 1:09 PM

Did not see any this year, but did see a few last year. I agree, Sig is your target

Thanks for the report. Yeah, that an E3 is a big one. Do you happen to remember what the hologram(s) you saw last year were like?


Spike posted Mon, 04 August 2003 at 2:40 PM

There was one that was done in this 36" half clear dome. They said they could import any 3d model. I did not think it was that great, but the idea was cool...

I put together a short video of siggraph. The quality is not that good, but it will give you a little taste of the show. It's windows media so I don't think it will work on macs.

It was nice to meet the people from Renderosity in person at SIGGRAPH. For those who could not make it this year, I highly encourage you to try next year, even if it just for the exhibits. It is always the best show of the year and you can learn amazing things. LouiseKraz

Here is one of me and Fish. I'm the one with glasses and fish is the one with gills. :) It was great to have the opportunity to meet Billygoat and Spike and see all the rest of the Renderosity gang at the show. Thanks for the kind words Clint. You're an awsome guy yourself. I'm REALLY looking forward to hooking up at D*con. It will be a blast! Karen will be calling you real soon to get the video in the Renderosity store. I can't wait to see you all again next year! All the best, Joe @ 3-AXIS

"There was one that was done in this 36" half clear dome. They said they could import any 3d model." Not sure what that is, but not a hologram. Does sound interesting though, if it could do it in realtime. We can take 3D models and convert them into holograms, but not in real time of course. Actually, now that I think about there was at least one hologram there. We did a small hologram and kinteric bookmark for a company called Oregon3D. It was a Mobius Loop. Thanks for the info. -Tim

It was great to see you guys at Siggraph this year. I was hoping to be able to see more people from online at the show, but didn't really meet others. Maybe next time.

Thanks for posting the photos up. It's a great reminder of the show.

I'd love to get a Renderosity T-shirt, but...... there's no white T-shirt!!! It is HOT here in southern California...... maybe next year you guys will make them in white.

Hey, thanks for the free tickets to Siggraph! I took my son, a budding artist, to the animation gallery. We both absolutely loved it. Course had to leave him home for the exhibition, but I had a great time seeing all the exciting stuff coming out. Your booth looked great! And like I said at the booth, you need to advertise your magazine more! Nate, the Sub guy.

Great pics! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Tim and Tammy, Clint and crew. Ta and Jenny, it was a pleasure seeing you two again. Spike sorry we missed each other, I was only at the show for Thursday. Got in around 11:30 on Wednseday night- a very long motorcycle ride from Santa Cruz, and upon arrival Josh Reiss had my party hook-ups all scheduled. The next day on the show floor was a bit blurry but fun none the less. Siggraph is like a 3D family reunion, it's great to see you folks join the fold! Steve Cooper


Spike posted Thu, 07 August 2003 at 11:52 AM

Hi everyone!

Siggraph just happened to co-incide with my once-in-a-lifetime trip to visit friends in San Diego!

I just wanted to say what an absolute pleasure it was meeting the team at the Renderosity Booth! I was really thrilled to get to Siggraph, all the way from Scotland, UK!

Thanks again Renderosity team for the free pass! (and the fab 'Rosity hat I purchased kept me cool during my stroll 'round nearby beautiful Seaport Village).

What a FANTASTIC Summer!!!

Dave :-)
