addition of a special Production Session as part of this year's
Computer Animation Festival that will detail the behind-the-scenes
production of the much anticipated Fight Night Round 4 and Gears of
War 2.
The session, "Big,
Fast, and Cool: Making the Art for Fight Night Round 4 & Gears
of War 2" will explore the making of the art of these
games, and how these processes have exploded the boundaries for
what is possible with real-time rendering graphics. This Production
Session will take place as part of the special focus on videogames
and
Real-Time Rendering during the SIGGRAPH Computer Animation
Festival program.
"So much of what makes today's videogames so
great are the responsive graphics and the stories that unfold
during game play," stated Evan Hirsch, SIGGRAPH 2009 Real-Time
Rendering Chair. "This year's sessions will offer a rare
perspective into how animation and graphics can really enhance and
impact game development and the user experience and investigate the
future of gaming."

year to showcase more Games content than ever before. The Games
programming will include a
Keynote presentation by famed videogame designer, Will Wright,
creator of Sporeâ„¢ and The Sims series, innovative Game
