Also, it will now be possible to bring food and drinks from outisde, so you can enjoy demos while having, and maybe sharing, delicacies.

Do you enjoy making music?
I'm FL1NE, previously known as T_S.
This year it looks like I will give another seminar about music.
I will begin with how to make electronic music similar to EDM, followed up with a question and answer session.
Let's make music together! Version 2016
A REAL-TIME POST-PROCESSING CRASH COURSE (Japanese edition)
abstract:
Monte Carlo path tracing is now the dominant rendering technique in film VFX, animated films,
commercials and pre-rendered videogame content. This marks the end of an era.
In this talk I will provide some historical context on how studios transitioned from rasterization-based pipelines,
describe the key benefits that motivated this transition, and discuss some of the challenges that still lie ahead
in the never-ending quest for increased detail and visual realism.
bio:
Marcos is the founder of Solid Angle, where he leads the development of the Arnold path tracing renderer.
Prior to that, Marcos was a visiting Software Architect at Sony Pictures Imageworks, a visiting researcher
at USC’s Institute for Creative Technologies under the supervision of Dr. Paul Debevec,
and also consulted at various CG studios around the world. Marcos is a frequent speaker at SIGGRAPH, FMX and EGSR. His favorite sushi is engawa.
ASD tests the waters with Android development and creates a small new demo,
using a new environment called "Defold" by well known games company King.
Defold allows for fast content creation and deployment on a number of platforms.
In this presentation we look into all the challenges of the task - from conception to rendering on a mobile phone -,
and discuss the potential of using this new tool for future demoscene projects by others.
Joseph White (of Voxatron fame) presents PICO-8, his latest creation: a
fantasy console for making, sharing and playing tiny games and other
programs. PICO-8 is based on Lua and has a built-in editor for code,
music, sounds, sprites, and maps. In this seminar, you will learn about
the background and design of PICO-8, followed by a short live coding and
tracking session.
Please see the timetable for the deadlines and when the competitions will be held. Visitors will be able to submit their entries through the party intranet.
Remote entries are allowed and will be voted upon along with all other entries submitted at the party place, but you can win a prize only if you can attend the ceremony. If you are interested in submitting a remote entry, please send a mail to organziers.
