EGWNP Deadline extension

by Stefanie Behnke

Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena Munich, Germany, March 29, 2009 Submission deadline extended to January 6th 2009 Website Information may be found at : http://egwnp.liris.cnrs.fr/ Workshop Chairs Eric Galin, F Jens Schneider, D Program Chairs Ming Lin, USA Michael Jones, UK Eric Galin, F Aims and Scope Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a challenging and important problem in computer graphics. The challenge stems not only from the complexity and diversity of objects and natural phenomena interacting together, but also from the huge amount of small details that should be modeled to obtain realistic models and physically plausible simulations. Therefore, there is still a need for interactive modeling and simulation techniques capable for handling complex synthetic sceneries. The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques for modeling, animating, simulating and rendering complex natural phenomena. The workshop will build on work done in recent years including simulating aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant modeling, ecosystem simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus on non conscious or inanimate nature like rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows (animals and humans as part of nature should be excluded). Work in this area, promising as it is, is still far from complete. Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Plant structure modeling - Ecosystem simulation - Gaseous phenomena (clouds, fog) - Simulating liquid flows and rain - Modeling fire and smoke - Aging and weathering - Terrain modeling For more information, please contact eric.galin(a)liris.cnrs.fr.

NPAR 2009: Initial Announcement and Call for Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

(sorry for duplicates, please distribute to anyone who may be interested) Initial Announcement and Call for Papers ======================================== Conference: NPAR 2009 ACM International Symposium on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (co-located with SIGGRAPH 2009) URL: http://www.npar.org/2009/ Date: August 1-2, 2009 Location: New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Aims and Scope: =============== NPAR 2009 is the 7th international symposium dedicated to non-photorealistic animation and rendering, sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and in cooperation with Eurographics. For the second time, NPAR will be co-located with SIGGRAPH which in 2009 takes place in New Orleans. This will allow us to raise attention for this important field, to open it to new people from academia, arts, and industry. Once again NPAR will bring together researchers and practitioners to showcase cutting-edge research in non-photorealistic animation and rendering systems and techniques. Non-photorealistic animation and rendering (NPAR) refers to techniques for visually communicating ideas and information. Such techniques usually generate imagery which is expressive, rather than photorealistic. We seek new research on both the mechanisms of non-photorealistic rendering techniques as well as the principles of visual communication via such artistic rendering. Specific themes of the conference include, but are not limited to: * Simulation of traditional and new graphical styles * Simulation of natural media * Hardware-accelerated non-photorealistic algorithms * Level-of-detail in image space * Abstraction and composition in rendered images * Synthesis of stroke-based patterns * Style transfer * Automatic painting from photographs and video * Temporal and spatial coherence in non-photorealistic rendering * Motion blur and depth of field in non-photorealistic images * Lighting models for NPAR * Non-traditional perspective * Non-photorealistic modeling * Animation systems * Computer-aided cartoon animation * 2D/3D integration * Live-action integration * Computer-aided in-betweening * Computer-aided layout * Matting and compositing * Image-based rendering * Rendering languages and systems * Practical NPAR applications * Evaluation methods for artistic graphics * Computer-generated abstract art We invite researchers and practitioners of all areas connected to non-photorealistic animation and rendering to submit papers. Full-length papers are the primary medium for conveying new research results at the NPAR symposium. Submissions are sought that describe original, unpublished work on all themes listed above. Paper submissions should be at most 5000 words or 10 ACM conference pages in length. The title page should include an abstract (fewer than 200 words) and keywords. The submission is electronic in PDF format; supplemental video and images may also be submitted. Submission is single-blind, so papers may be submitted in "camera-ready" format. We recommend that prospective authors consult the SIGGRAPH publications page (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/) for information on paper formatting for paper submissions. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by ACM SIGGRAPH and will be available online via the ACM Digital Library. Important Dates =============== Abstract submission deadline: April 13, 2009 Submission deadline: April 15, 2009, 12 midnight PDT Acceptance notification: May 22, 2009 Camera-ready deadline: May 29, 2009 Organization ============ Bruce Gooch, University of Victoria, Canada (General Chair) Tobias Isenberg, University of Groningen, Netherlands (Program Chair) Craig Kaplan, University of Waterloo, Canada (Program Chair) Holger Winnemöller Adobe Inc., USA (Poster Chair) Marc Nienhaus, mental images GmbH, Germany (Poster Chair)
