Facing Tomorrow
I am attending this years Siggraph in San Diego in the beginning of August. It feels like ages since I last attended Siggraph in Los Angeles in 2005. I am especially looking forward to the papers, panels, emerging technologies and the exhibitions.
Last years focus was much on optimizing the technical platforms of the 3D packages and integration on 64 bit systems. I believe that this year will bring some exciting news in the 3D industry, building on the foundation that has been laid. I also believe that Maya 9.0 will be presented at Siggraph, with the full implementation of Nucleus for dynamic systems.
I have also signed up for Autodesk’s Siggraph MasterClasses to brush up on my Maya skills. If anyone reading this is interested, I have an extra copy of the 2005 Maya MasterClasses DVD to give away. It contains lots of great information and sample projects. The first to comment and ask for it gets it.
Eirik Solheim has posted some videos from the art gallery and emerging technologies from last year’s Siggraph in Boston at eirikso.com.

Hello! I just got Maya 8.0 and would love to get a little help learning how to use it. Could I get that DVD off your hands please?
