I haven’t noticed if you already posted this info about the event, but if you haven’t already, perhaps you can help spread the word to the more VFX-oriented TORN fans, maybe one of them will wanna send a review back.<\/p>\n

“At this year Siggraph 2001 (http:\/\/www.siggraph.org\/s2001), WETA<\/a> Digital will showcase some of the work they are doing on the “Lord of the Rings” movies at the Side Effects Software (http:\/\/www.sidefx.com) booth, during their special Houdini meeting. To present the visual effects shots, Michael Perry, VFX animator at WETA<\/a> Digital, will be there, and he will comment on the role Houdini software had in the post-production of LotR.<\/p>\n

The event will be held on Sunday, August 12, beginning at 2 p.m. in the Westin-Bonaventure Hotel’s San Jose Room. Besides the WETA<\/a> presentation, there will be other companies demonstrating their most recent work, a reception afterwards, plus a sneak preview of the new Houdini 5 software. Unfortunately, there are no more open seats, due to the overwhelming demand, but if one of the torn fans happens to be going there, maybe he or she can send a report back to us.<\/p>\n
