I think hydrographic printing has been around a for a while (I've def. seen it on MeFi) but I think the innovation here is being able to use it for irregular forms, as opposed to like a snowboard or something.

love siggraph always! My favorite was the car that morphs based on sliders.

That wind-instrument modelling thing was basically my physics degree project back in 1991. It's a lot less fun when you have to do the whole thing on paper.

Right?!? Here is the cat from earlier this year. Apparently the difference between the new hydrographic printing and the old-school one is multiple, motion-controlled placements and compensation for and leveraging of the deformation of the transfer. (Even older we were looking at bumpers and things which are oddly shaped but not multi-immersion nor compensated: you got what you got where you got it.)

This preview video is from May, and the actual conference was a few weeks ago, so all the full videos should be out now.

Do they post them somewhere that isn't the SIGGRAPH YouTube page? Seems like all they have there is some interviews and a keynote.

I've been spreading virtual mayonnaise since before ... wait, no I haven't.

That woman with the vacant eye sockets gave me Babylon 5 flashbacks. Even so, the stuff being showcased was super cool.

Some cool stuff in there, I think we saw the magic paint-on-water thing here earlier?
