VFXRIO LIVE: SIGGRAPH DAY.
SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques) is the premier event for computer graphics (CG), animation, innovation and research since 1974. A true community of artists, programmers, educators, filmmakers, designers, thinkers, pioneers, researchers and producers. Major studios, production companies, universities and technology companies participate in the event whose goal is to foster innovation, create technology and encourage the exchange of ideas, diversity and knowledge. In this edition of VFXRIO you will know the backstage of what happens there as well as the Siggraph 2022 program and how to participate.
