Code tells a story.

At SIGGRAPH 2026, 'Write Once, Read ALWAYS: Reading Computer Graphics through Critical Code Studies' examines how source code can provide insight into culture, philosophy, and the ways we model and imagine the world through computer graphics.

Join us for this Frontier Talk. https://t.co/SHuPTJUFFA

A noisy night becomes an unexpected creative experiment in the Production Session “Dear Upstairs Neighbors”: Artist-Centered, AI-Assisted Expressionistic Animation.

Created by a hybrid team of animation artists and AI researchers, the film combines hand-crafted storyboards, character animation, and concept art with custom generative image and video models fine-tuned on original artwork.

Attend this session to explore a video-to-video workflow showing how traditional tools and generative systems were combined to support an evolving painterly style and close creative collaboration across disciplines. https://t.co/L4DxkSZ8hd

"Flashover: Spatial Storytelling of Wildfire from Memory to Spatial Experience' reframes wildfire as lived experience shaped by memory, repetition, and loss, developed in collaboration with volunteer firefighters from Australia’s 2019–20 Black Summer fires.

At SIGGRAPH Spatial Storytelling, the project is presented as a translation into point-based volumetric media and immersive VR, using photogrammetry, point clouds, 3D Gaussian Splatting, and Unity-based workflows.

At SIGGRAPH 2026, attend Frontier Talks: 'UNIX V4 and the Utah Teapot' and hear the story behind the recovery of UNIX V4 from a 1974 magnetic tape. Thought to be lost, this early version of UNIX may be directly connected to the work that led to the famous Utah teapot.

Film 'Iron Boy' stands out with its hand-painted animation style, featuring expressive ink-like linework that feels closer to a living graphic novel than traditional animation. 🎬

The film follows a grounded childhood story brought to life through this distinctive visual approach, shaped by a focus on emotion, character, and handcrafted detail.

Interested in learning more about the creation of “Zootopia 2”? Join this talk in the Rendering and Volumes session at SIGGRAPH 2026.

'Path Guiding in Disney’s “Zootopia 2”' explores the first large-scale production use of Disney’s second-generation path guiding system in Hyperion Renderer and the technical advances behind it. The team shares practical methods for improving rendering efficiency, evaluating performance without costly comparison renders, and integrating path guiding into production workflows.
