KEYNOTE SESSION Monday, 25 July, 11 am-12:45 pm Dare to Do Mighty Things: Exploring Beyond the Earth
(Immediately preceding the Keynote Session)
Z. Nagin Cox NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA/JPL)
The Computer Graphics Achievement Award
Since the beginning of time, people have looked up at the night sky and wondered at the frontiers of our knowledge. While there are examples of solitary human exploration, most endeavors that push boundaries involve teams of people working together for a common goal. Robotic space missions are no different — they are defined by the passion of the people who build, launch, and send them out into the dark void to make great discoveries.
Frédo Durand Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Z. Nagin Cox, Spacecraft Systems Engineer at NASA/JPL, shares stories of missions that cut through earthly political and cultural issues, redefine persistence in engineering and technology, make us rethink our place in the universe, and remind us that robotic explorations of the solar system and beyond symbolize all that humankind can do together.

FP F S EP E #SIGGRAPH2016
The SIGGRAPH 2016 Art Gallery exposes a plethora of data and transforms it to incarnations of tangibility that not only showcase their complexity, but also allow us to relate to them on a human scale. By injecting humor and kinetic energy to their exposition, the gallery makes light of these data platforms and presents them on a grand scale to reveal their ubiquity. A special issue of Leonardo, The Journal of the International Society of the Arts, Sciences and Technology includes visual documentation of the works exhibited in the Art Gallery. Publication of this eighth special issue coincides with SIGGRAPH 2016.

Flower
Metaphase Sound Machine
Plinko Poetry
Flower reacts to the idea of the “gaze” in digital space, where people online are always vying for more views, likes, and mentions.
Metaphase Sound Machine, inspired by physicist Nick Herbert’s work, exploits our increasing dependency on the information and electronic noise that permeates our everyday lives.
Plinko Poetry is a networked installation that uses the Plinko Game of the American game show “The Price is Right” to create real-time poetry from constantly updated Twitter feeds.
Grafikdemo
Dmitry Morozov
Grafikdemo is a physical wireframe of the quintessential 3D model, the standard “teapot”, built inside the frame of a classic Commodore CBM. Viewers use only the analog keys of the antiquated keyboard to manipulate the object inside, thus exposing the mechanical aspects of the project.

The Kinetic Story Teller In this playful environment for social interaction, a pair of illuminated swing sets face each other. As participants swing on the structure, they are connected to a data stream of the networked landscape around them, specifically the social media banter of Twitter.
Pixelbots represent a new form of empathetic display that explores the evolution of how information will manifest itself in the near future. The screen itself becomes a fluid entity that can be harnessed and remixed into any shape, color, or manifestation one desires.

A VISION FOR COMPUTER VISION: EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
WHAT MAKES A PRODUCTION RENDERER IN 2016
Tuesday, 26 July, 2-3:30 pm INVITED CONTENT
Wednesday, 27 July, 9-10:30 am
Computer vision is a rapidly evolving discipline. It includes methods for acquiring, processing, and understanding still images and video to model, replicate, and sometimes, exceed human vision and perform useful tasks. As the technology develops, computer vision will be commonly used for a broad range of services in upcoming devices and implemented in movies, smart phones, cameras, drones, and more. Demand for the technology is driving the evolution of image sensors, mobile processors, operating systems, application software, and device form factors in order to meet the needs of applications and services that will benefit from computer vision. Panelists Jon Peddie Jon Peddie Research
Many systems call themselves “production renderers”. Some are relatively unknown. Others are well known, high-quality renderers. And many large studios have invested significant time and money to develop their own proprietary renderers. This panel explores the technical and non-technical issues involved in introducing a renderer into the contemporary production environment, and maintaining it as the technology evolves. Topics include: the capabilities that are absolutely necessary (and those that are not), the importance of technological and creative control, team size and composition, how utilization of open-source components has affected development, and the potential disruption of new research results on the development process. The session includes panelists who are creating the state of the art in advanced renderer development. Panelists

Following each presentation, attendees ask questions about the challenges and issues associated with complex productions.
SUNDAY, 24 JULY THE MAKING OF “PEARL”, A GOOGLE SPOTLIGHT STORY Sunday, 24 July, 10:45 am-12:15 pm “Pearl” is a Spotlight Story directed by Oscar-winning animator Patrick Osborne. Conceived from the beginning as a 360º experience, “Pearl” takes place entirely in a car and explores the gifts we inherit from our parents, both tangible and intangible. The challenge: create a 360º interactive animated film with a strongly art-directed, highly stylized non-photorealistic look, with naturalistic character animation tightly synchronized with an original song, and a story that collapses decades into minutes through montage, and make it run on a wide range of devices, from mobile phones to VR headgear, in real time.

“KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS”: ONE GIANT SKELETON, ONE COLOSSAL UNDERTAKING
THE MAKING OF MARVEL’S “CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR”
Monday, 25 July, 2-3:30 pm
In “Captain America: Civil War”, Steve Rogers leads the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps, one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability. Marvel Studios, ILM, Rise FX, and Method Studios show attendees how they created some of the movie’s most heart-stopping moments.
For “Kubo and the Two Strings”, (in theaters 19 August), LAIKA launched an immensely powerful puppet – to scale. The result: a giant (18-foot) skeleton with a 24-foot wingspan from finger to finger. With realworld materials including dense CNC foam, paper, paint, and a steel armature, the Giant Skeleton was a massive undertaking, involving LAIKA's notoriously interdependent and collaborative crew. And when the puppet was finished, the challenges began.

WEDNESDAY, 27 JULY UNDER THE SEA – THE MAKING OF “FINDING DORY” Wednesday, 27 July, 10:45 am-12:15 pm Find the answers to how Pixar artists created the studio’s latest feature film, “Finding Dory”. Top animators and technical artists deliver a deep dive into the process of creating the summer hit, which required adoption of an entirely new back-end pipeline and cutting-edge technology. From character design and animation to lighting, CG water like you’ve never seen before and, perhaps most crucially, RenderMan REYES, and RIS, come find out how “Finding Dory” revolutionized Pixar Animation Studios from sea-level up. Panelists Steve Pilcher Jeremie Talbot Jim Brown Masha Ellsworth Chris Burrows Chris Chapman Ian Megibben John Halstead Pixar Animation Studios
THE TECHNICAL ART OF "UNCHARTED 4" Wednesday, 27 July, 2-3:30 pm This Production Session presents a handful of rendering and shader features created by the technical artists at Naughty Dog. Some of the features are novel, some are an evolution of common concepts, but all are critical to achieving the look and scope of "Uncharted 4". Panelists
Digital Domain worked on the three main aspects of “Deadpool”: Colossus, Deadpool interacting with Colossus, and the Helicarrier. Creation of Colossus required five different actors: a motion-capture actor, a taller actor on the principle shoot, a voice-over actor, face model, and a Mova/ facial-capture actor. The team used a proprietary real-time system to capture the facial movement of one actor and redirect to the Colossus character with perfect 1:1 geometry of usable data. They created the digi-double of Deadpool that was usable by all vendors on the project. And they created the Helicarrier; which is similar to Marvel’s X-Men carrier, but a bit more rustic looking in this anti-hero film. Blur Studio created the film’s opening title sequence, provided previsualization for several action sequences, delivered an additional 37 VFX shots for two key scenes, and made the low-fi animated end titles. Blur also provided previsualization for the main car chase, the subsequent bullet-counting sequence, and the final fight scene. Previsualization was critical for staging the flow of each scene and determining which shots would work best in advance. One of the main tasks in Blur’s 37 VFX shots was integrating a fully CG version of a damaged Colossus, building on Digital Domain’s “clean” Colossus model. Blur developed an identical clean Colossus, which required extensive full-body and facial motion capture, and incorporated heat damage, scrapes, and other flaws.

It is also a place where humans never existed and animals have evolved to be anthropomorphic, clothed, city-dwellers. Walt Disney Animation Studios pushed the artistic boundaries of all aspects of the production process to create vastly different environments filled with hundreds of unique and detailed characters. The scale difference of the animals, from a mouse to giraffe (95:1), required creation of a world that could be inhabited by characters of all shapes and sizes while depicting thousands of furred and clothed animals.
