Some of you may remember this post. It ended up being lost when we had some hosting issues. I'm reposting it for those that may have missed it and for reference for those that are interested.
Ke-Sen Huang and Tim Rowley have compiled a list of Siggraph 2007 papers which can be found at this website. See if you can find one paper that a future Blender feature was based on. One nice thing is if you go to either of the compilers websites (referenced above, click on their names) you'll discover that they have compiled a listing of previous Siggraph papers.

I was thinking it was going to be easy to find the blender one, until I looked at the page. Lots of innovation there among all kinds of categories.
im not sure if possible, but can we use the tools they explain. for example I could really use the "soft scissors" . do they share their tools?
The wording: 'a future Blender feature was based on' might be better put as: 'an in-development feature of blender was based on', or as: 'an upcoming Blender feature was based on'... Otherwise it sounds weird as it is said in the future tense but the word 'was' is in the past tense - it had me confused for a moment, and I know of the feature and the paper already!! Alternatively, you could have put 'is' instead of 'was', but then it sounds like you're reading the future - and 'is' is still present tense...

sorry for that ramble ;)
~epat. :P
>>epat Isn't it a typo error? Feature, future? I'm not a native english speaker so I may be wrong.

Do I get a prize if I get this right? I think the conversion of a raster image to a gradient mesh (Microsoft Asia research) uses a concept similar to that used by Ton to implement vector blur, because it depends on turning a 2D image into 3D geometry.
@dave: don't ask me, ask Brian! :)
Isn't "heat skinning" based on the harmonic coordinate system described by Joshi et al.?
That would be the"heat skinning," based on the automatic rigging paper by Baran and Popovic.
*ding ding ding* Good job cd38.
Sorry Bart, I think I saw the B in the authors name out of the corner of my eye and assumed...
Hey, but do I get an honorable mention Brian? Or am I having a brain phart seeing the connection?
