Full Conference 
Computer Animation Festival
MONDAY, 26 JULY | 4:30 - 5:15 pm | West Hall B
TUESDAY, 27 JULY | 5:30 - 6:15 PM | West Hall B
WEDNESDAY, 28 JULY | 4:30 - 5:15 pm | West Hall B
The graphics capabilities and production values of games on hi-definition consoles and computers now rival those of television and film. This section of the Computer Animation Festival showcases the very best of video games and real-time simulations that push the boundaries of what users and viewers have come to expect.
To help emphasize the difference between these works and the pre-rendered works in the Screenings, real-time pieces are demonstrated live on their actual platforms. No post-production, just great interactive graphics demonstrated in real time. In addition, a selection of the selected projects will be available for attendees to try out in The Sandbox.

Agenda Circling Forth
A unique real-time demo that takes its inspiration from the impressionist painters but with an innovative modern twist: it builds animated 3D scenes entirely from particles. Every pixel truly is alive in this piece.

Making Love
This demo is an exploration of the world of the procedural one-man indie "MMO LOVE". The demo also showcases the tools used to create assets, like sketch-based modeling, 100% automatic UV mapping, shader and asset management tools, and the layer-based procedural texturing tool.

Real-Time Particle-Based Liquid Simulation on the GPU
A state-of-the-art particle-based fluid simulation running entirely on the GPU and displayed using a novel screen-space surface rendering technique that includes caustics. The demo simulates and renders 128,000 particles at more than 60 frames per second.

Supersonic Sled
The NVIDIA Supersonic Sled is a full physics simulation of a mechanical assembly subjected to heavy loads. Using PhysX, CUDA, and DirectX 11, this demonstration applies real-time simulation and graphics techniques to produce a realistic and exhilarating experience of driving a powerful machine on the edge of control.
