    Abington Senior High School, Abington, PA, 19001 January 2020 Decade in Review! With the decade coming to a close a few weeks ago, the editorial staff decided that we should fl ashback to the ideas and moments that shaped the decade. As we adjust to life in the new “roaring twenties,” here is a breakdown of the most prominent events of each year from the past decade. 2010: On January 12, an earthquake registering a magnitude 7.0 on the Richter scale struck Haiti, causing about 250,000 deaths and 300,000 injuries. On March 23, the Aff ordable Care Act is signed into law by Barack Obama. Commonly referred to as “Obamacare,” it was considered one of the most extensive health care reform acts since Medicare, which was passed in 1965. On April 20, a Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded over the Gulf of Mexico. Killing eleven people, it is considered one of the worst oil spills in history and the largest in US waters. On July 25, Wikileaks, an organization that allows people to anonymously leak classifi ed information, released more than 90,000 documents related to the Afghanistan War. It is oft en referred to as the largest leak of classifi ed information since the Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam War. Th e New Orleans Saints won their fi rst Super Bowl since Hurricane Katrina, LeBron James made his way to Miami, Kobe Bryant won his fi nal title, and Butler went on a Cinderella run to the NCAA Championship. Th e year fi ttingly set the tone for a decade of player empowerment and underdog victories.

  • Physically Based Shading in Theory and Practice SIGGRAPH 2016 Course
    Physically Based Shading in Theory and Practice SIGGRAPH 2016 Course Course Organizers Stephen Hill Stephen McAuley Ubisoft Montreal Presenters Roger Cordes Lucasfilm Christophe Hery Pixar Sebastien´ Hillaire EA Frostbite Naty Hoffman Lucasfilm Jorge Jimenez´ Activision Brian Karis Epic Games Sebastien´ Lagarde Unity Technologies Dan Lobl ILM Ryusuke Villemin Pixar Additional Contributors Florian Hecht Pixar Adrian´ Jarabo Universidad de Zaragoza Cyril Jover Unity Technologies Sebastien´ Lachambre Unity Technologies Angelo Pesce Activision Xian-Chun Wu Activision Course Description Physically based shading has transformed the way we approach production rendering and simplified the lives of artists in the process. By employing shading models that adhere to physical principles, one can readily create high quality, realistic materials that maintain their appearance under a variety of lighting environments. In contrast, traditional ad hoc models required extensive tweaking to achieve comparable results|due to less intuitive behavior or unnecessary complexity|and were liable to break under different illumination. Consequently, physically based models have become widely adopted in film and game production, particularly as they are often no more difficult to implement or evaluate. That being said, physically based shading is not a solved problem, and thus the aim of this course is to share the latest theory as well as lessons from production. Level of Difficulty: Intermediate Intended Audience Practitioners from the videogame, CG animation, and VFX fields, as well as researchers interested in shading models. Prerequisites An understanding of shading models and their use in film or game production. Course Website All course materials can be found here.
