REMINDER: SCA Regular Registration Deadline is Friday!

by eurographics＠eg.org

Symposium on Computer Animation 2013 July 19-21 Anaheim, CA, USA Call for Participation ***The Regular Registration deadline is this Friday, June 28th!*** The 12th annual Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) will take place in sunny Anaheim, California from July 19-21, immediately before SIGGRAPH. With 20 full papers, 4 short papers. and 4 TVCG papers, it promises to be a memorable event. This year's SCA features two exciting keynotes: * Michiel van de Panne (University of British Columbia) Title: Movement Skills for Physics-based Characters: A Roadmap Abstract: Physics-based character animation has a long history as a promising method for modeling the motion of humans and animals. Tremendous progress has been made in this area over the past twenty-five years. However, much work still remains to be done before these methods can become truly successful. Our best models for simulating motions (and controlling robots) still fall well short of the agility, adaptability, and range of skills seen in nature. What have we learned? What is the missing ingredient? When might we realize "downloadable skills" for our simulated characters, our robots, and perhaps our brains? I will present my own roadmap of where we have been, the lessons learned, and where we may need to go next. * Ron Henderson (DreamWorks Animation) Title: The Croods: Modern Technology for a Prehistoric World Abstract: DreamWorks Animation produces family entertainment that is enjoyed by audiences worldwide. It is a major consumer of technology, and employs a skilled workforce of scientists and engineers working to advance the state of the art in computer graphics for film production. In this talk we look at some of the key technology behind our recent film The Croods (2013). The movie follows the story of the world's first family as they embark on the journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger is destroyed. Production for The Croods required many diverse locations to represent the exotic world for this adventure, and an equally diverse set of visual effects challenges: earthquakes and landslides, liquids from tar to shallow seas, torches and wildfires, pyroclastic flow and massive deforming volumes. We review how our technology for achieving these effects have evolved rapidly over the last 3-4 years, showcase some of the artistic achievements in this film, and lay out some of the technology challenges we need to overcome in the future.

CALL FOR PAPERS The 2013 ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion in Games 2013 (MIG) November 7-9, 2013, Dublin, Ireland Submission Deadline: July 9, 2013 http://www.scss.tcd.ie/conferences/MIG2013/ ==================================================================== The Sixth International Conference on Motion in Games (MIG) will be hosted in the historic city of Dublin, Ireland from November 7-9, 2013. MIG 2013 will be held in cooperation with Eurographics and, for the first time this year, it will be sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH, with papers appearing in the ACM digital library. Our confirmed speaker list for this year includes: Stelian Coros, Disney Research, Zurich Stephen Guy, University of Minnesota Mark Pauly, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) Ben Sunshine-Hill, Havok Games have become a very important medium for education, therapy and entertainment. Motion plays a crucial role in computer games. Characters move around, objects are manipulated or move due to physical constraints, entities are animated, and the camera moves through the scene. Even the motion of the player is used as input to games. Motion is currently studied in many different areas of research, including graphics and animation, game technology, robotics, simulation, computer vision, and also physics, psychology, and urban studies. Cross-fertilization between these communities can considerably advance the state-of- the-art in the area. The goal of the Motion in Games conference is to bring together researchers from this variety of fields to present their most recent results, to initiate collaborations, and to contribute to the establishment of the research area. The conference will consist of regular paper sessions, poster presentations, as well as presentations by a selection of established researchers in areas related to games and simulation. The conference program will also include cultural and social events that foster casual and friendly interactions among the participants. The relevant topics include (but are not limited to): Animation Systems Animation Algorithms and Techniques Character Animation Behavioral Animation Facial Animation Particle Systems Simulation of Natural Environments Natural Motion Simulation Virtual Humans Physics-based Motion Crowd Simulation Path Planning Navigation and Way-finding Flocking and Steering Behaviour Camera Motion Object Manipulation Motion Capture Techniques Motion Analysis and Synthesis Gesture Recognition Papers should be submitted using the MIG online submission system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mig2013 Papers should be formatted using the SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines: http://www.siggraph.org/sites/default/files/acmsiggraph.zip There are several options for submission which are detailed below. The review process will be double-blind. Long papers: Long papers should be 7-10 pages long. They should include a significant contribution to the state of the art. Short Papers: Short papers should be 4-6 pages long. Short papers should include an augmentation or new application of existing work. Short papers can also contain the mature seeds of new research. Posters: Two types of work can be submitted directly for poster presentation: 1. Work that has been published elsewhere but is of particular relevance to the MIG community can be submitted as a poster. This work and the venue in which it was published should be identified in the abstract. 2. Work that is of interest to the MIG community but is not yet mature enough to appear as a short or long paper. Posters will not appear in the official MIG proceedings but will appear in an online database for distribution at author's discretion. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference during oral sessions, or as posters during a poster session. Best Paper and Best Student Paper awards will be conferred during the conference. In the previous year the 5 best papers were invited for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds (CAVW) published by Wiley. Similar plans have been made for the 2013 meeting. Important Dates: Paper deadline: July 9, 2013 Notification: Aug 19, 2012 Conference: Nov 7-9, 2012 Organization and Contact Info: Conference Chair Rachel McDonnell (Trinity College Dublin) Program Chairs Victor Zordan (UC Riverside) Nathan Sturtevant (University of Denver) Poster Chair Jan Ondrej (Trinity College Dublin) Email Contacts: Paper and program related inquiries: mig2013(a)easychair.org All other inquiries: info(a)motioningames.org General conference URL and related links: https://www.scss.tcd.ie/conferences/MIG2013/ http://mig2012.inria.fr Past year's proceedings and program committee: http://mig2012.inria.fr
