We're looking forward to presenting our talk at #SIGGRAPH2025 on Sunday Aug. 10 - 11AM, in West Building, Rooms 301-305!
Ever wondered how badly we're all addicted to buying new GPUs in graphics labs?

Come see our talk at #SIGGRAPH2025 to discuss how we can collectively move "Towards a sustainable use of GPUs in Graphics Research"

🏆 So honored that our paper received the Honorable Mention #Award at #SIGGRAPHAsia!

I really like this paper BTW, it is about procedural #SignedDistanceFields, a simple idea to #differentiate them and thus provide #DirectManipulation
