Ryoichi Ando announced that ZOZO&#39;s physics engine for Blender has been released as open source. It is based on his SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 paper. Looks neat! https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/1ti5bbh/a_new_opensource_physics_engine_for_blender_zozos/

Recently graduated Waterloo PhD student Ryusuke Sugimoto (who Toshiya Hachisuka and I supervised together) has won both a Eurographics Best PhD Thesis Award and the Alain Fournier Award (for Outstanding [Canadian] Doctoral Dissertation in Computer Graphics), for his excellent work on Monte Carlo methods for solving PDE problems in computer graphics. Ryusuke is now an ISTA Fellow (postdoc) in Chris Wojtan&#39;s lab in Austria. https://rsugimoto.net/ https://www.eg.org/wp/eurographics-awards-p...

We have a fun new paper to appear at SIGGRAPH 2026, led by Columbia PhD student Xiana Carrera, that extends dual contouring to work nicely with [pure] signed distance samples. It avoids classic DC&#39;s additional requirement of providing accurate Hermite / normal information, while still nicely recovering sharp features. https://gatc.cs.columbia.edu/projects/dual-contouring-of-signed-distance-data.html

When I hear the youth saying &quot;low-key&quot; in every other sentence, I prefer to instead imagine they are invoking the Norse trickster god Loki.

For computer graphics academics and researchers, I threw this list of folks together. Apologies if I&#39;ve forgotten anyone or included anyone who prefers to be forgotten! Let me know if there are any errors or corrections. Hoping this will help folks migrating from the birdsite. 🙂 https://christopherbatty.github.io/Mastodon-Graphics-Academics/
