AMoRe Meetings




These meetings are for holding talks and to discuss current papers in the areas of Animation, Modeling and Rendering. The meeting consists of a technical presentation in the first half of the meeting and then a discussion of a particular paper led by a host in the second half. The meetings are held in FSC 1615 on Fridays, at 3:00PM-4:00PM. Everyone is welcome.

Links to list of online-available papers for the following conferences:
SIGGRAPH 2004 - Graphics Interface 2004 - Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2004 - Eurographics 2004 - Graphics Hardware 2004 - Symposium on Computer Animation 2004 - ACM Symposium on Geometry Processing 2004 - ACM Symposium on Applied Perception in Graphcis and Visualization 2004
