Siggraph

Last night may have marked the premiere party for Siggraph ‘07. Softimage, Vicon, and Pendulum–along with mova–held their celebration for the Siggraph community at the San Diego House of Blues.

Titled Visual Fxtasy, the event was the place to be, as marked by the nearly 1,000 attendees who lined up all the way down 6th street and even around the corner along a full block of G St. Luckily, Softimage hooked us up with VIP list treatment so we could bypass the wait, but bless those who did stand in the more-than-an-hour-long line, because they helped amplify the classic House of Blues ambience.

DJs, Go Go boots, mohawks, and paled paisely vintage suits displayed the spirit of the animators, visual effects artists, students, studio employees, exhibitors, etc. that put on display the vibrance that the Siggraph show brings with it’s attendees–and proved the perfect way for everyone to unwind after two solid days of the show.

Thanks again to Softimage, Vicon, and Pendulum for the good times and we look forward to an encore next year.
