AMoRe Meetings




These meetings are for holding talks and to discuss current papers in the areas of Animation, Modeling and Rendering. The meeting typically 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 Wednesdays, at 3:00PM-4:00PM. Everyone is welcome.

Links to list of online-available papers for the following conferences:
SIGGRAPH 2007 - Eurographics 2007 - Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2007 - Graphics Hardware 2007 - Symposium on Computer Animation 2007 - Symposium on Geometry Processing 2007 - Symposium on Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization 2007 - Shape Modeling International 2006 - Pacific Graphics 2007 - Graphics Interface 2007
