The video game industry has several highlights that are well known to the general public. But it also has just as many moments dedicated to a more professional audience. SIGGRAPH is one of many taking place in Vancouver. With a focus on computer graphics and graphic design techniques, this is an event for all professionals, regardless of their level of experience, which has been around for almost 50 years. This is an opportunity for Xbox to meet new talent, showcase cutting-edge technology and talk about inclusion. As a result, the brand will have multiple representatives including Playground Games, The Coalition and Sarah Bond.
The first will hold a symposium on the technical capabilities of ForzaHorizon 5 In the company of Gareth Hartwood, technical artistic director in the studio. The second will join a roundtable discussion on how to create a conducive working environment and a BTS of their Unreal Engine 5 technical demos Colin Penty, Technical Artistic Director. Finally, Sarah Bond will address the topic of using virtual universes as a vector to improve the real world of tomorrow.
The creative talent of the artists, animators and designers who create virtual worlds has never been more important. It is the ingenuity and empathy of the SIGGRAPH community that will define the digital worlds we will all experience in the future. Creators have the opportunity – and the responsibility – to define these worlds as positive, inclusive, empowering, and of course, fun!
