Hello, You are enrolled in the graduate version of the graphics course. That means you are subject to extra requirements for grading. I have decided to have each of the graduate enrollees select one or two papers from the SIGGRAPH conference series and present these papers to the class during the last week of classes. There are four grads enrolled for credit and I would like to take two class days for this, so you should expect to develop a 20-minute talk and allow 5 minutes for questions. More details as needed. For now, you might start looking through the SIGGRAPH proceedings (available, I believe, in the library... I have some of them on paper and CD/DVD, from the last few years) to find papers that are interesting to you (and ideally, relevant to your research interests).
