Mike, John and Ian are here in Vancouver for SIGGRAPH 2014. We’ve had a great time catching sessions on all kinds of subjects from rendering to big film productions, attending parties with The Foundry, Solid Angle and Image Engine, and gathering stories for fxguide and fxguidetv.

It’s also been great catching up with fxphd members and profs. fxphd prof. Christos Obretenov will actually be speaking at Pixar’s booth about Path Tracing and RIS in RenderMan on Thursday. Find out more details here.

And one of the highlights so far has been catching up with fxphd members – in fact – here’s some photos from our fxphd pub catch up from SIGGRAPH. Many thanks to Christian Thueringer for taking the pics and letting us use them.
