Abstract:
How do they really make 30 frames/second video from 24 frames/second film? What is the sound of one ray tracing? What is the average airspeed velocity of a fully-laden reality engine? If a tree is rendered in a forest, and there isno light source, does it cast a shadow? How many pixels could a pixel plane plane if a pixel plane could plane pixels? If you have ever pondered such important issues, why not Ask Dr. SIGGRAPH? After all, “he knows more than you.”
Our expert panel of Graphics Jims is prepared to answer any questions you might have about computer graphics and/or SIGGRAPH, from the serious and practical to the shamelessly metaphysical. Questions for our expert panel of Graphics Jims can be submitted through the World Wide Web kiosks at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The narrator of the Ask Dr. SIGGRAPH session is Dan Coffey, more popularly known as Dr. Science!
