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 X 736 (meeting room) on Mondays, at 3:00PM-4:00PM. Everyone is welcome.

Links to list of online-available papers for the following conferences:
SIGGRAPH 2005 - Graphics Interface 2005 - Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2005 - Eurographics 2005 - Graphics Hardware 2005 - Symposium on Computer Animation 2005 - ACM Symposium on Geometry Processing 2005 - ACM Symposium on Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization 2005 - Shape Modeling International 2005
