CFP: Computers & Graphics Special Section - Aging and Weathering

by eurographics＠eg.org

CALL FOR PAPERS Aging and Weathering - Special Section of Computers & Graphics - <http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics/call-for-papers/spe cial-section-aging-weathering/> http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics/call-for-papers/spec ial-section-aging-weathering/ Submission deadline: October 1, 2013 Guest Editors: Stéphane Mérillou, Université de Limoges Carles Bosch, Universitat de Girona AIMS AND SCOPE: Aging and weathering have been very active research fields for many years now. Due to the complexity and variety of materials change in appearance, such topics are of interest for a very large part of the Computer Graphics community. Aging and weathering phenomena often involve changes in reflection properties, color, and geometry, simultaneously and over time. Moreover, the characteristics of the surrounding environment, the shape of the objects and their material properties influence all these processes. Despite recent advances in simulation and reproduction techniques, there are many challenges still worth pursuing in this area. New aging models are required for reproducing specific effects, both at single and multiple levels of detail. Furthermore, combining multiple effects and using advanced contextual information are necessary to further enrich aging models. In addition, dealing with large-scale scenes requires more efficient and flexible approaches, providing more user control than that afforded in many present-day techniques. In this Special Section, we seek contributions spanning all aspects of aging and weathering, ranging from modeling to rendering, as well as from theory to practice. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * First-principle simulations for aging and weathering * Procedural models * Example-based and data-driven methods * Image-based approaches * Acquisition procedures and representation of time-varying data * Real-time techniques * Perceptual aspects of aging and weathering * Applications * Validation techniques If you are not sure whether a given idea or topic would suit this Special Section, please contact the Guest Editors. IMPORTANT DATES: September 16, 2013 Special Section opens October 1, 2013 Submissions due November 7, 2013 First decisions to authors December 1, 2013 Revised versions due December 20, 2013 Final decisions communicated to authors January 8, 2014 Final versions of accepted papers due March, 2014 Publication online May, 2014 Paper available SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Computers & Graphics is an Elsevier publication.

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.
