SIGGRAPH 2008 - Sergio's Blog [Days 4 and 5] SIGGRAPH is now officially over...the student volunteers are leaving, the teardown has begun, and everybody is either hanging around using their computers or just leaving. I am a little sad that it's over, but at the same time I feel relieved as I am barely able to stand on my feet. SIGGRAPH 2008 is over. Hopefully, we'll see each other next year in New Orleans.

SIGGRAPH 2008 - Ricky's Blog [Day 5] As I was dozing off on the subway, I kept trying to figure out what was so different. Finally, it dawned on me that there were fewer people on board. And then when I arrived at the convention center for the last day of SIGGRAPH 08, it seemed that there were far fewer people there as well. And as I was walking to my first class, it really seemed like the Friday people were the hardcore computer graphics crowd. Ricky Grove [gToon] - Staff Columnist

A light source strikes the camera lens at a strange angle and leaves a “flare” effect. But John Knoll, who invented this fantastic plug-in, is a smart, imaginative guy. John, who was one of the inventors of Adobe Photoshop and is a special effects supervisor at Industrial Light & Magic, has some very cool ideas about how to use lens flares creatively.
