He began working in 3D while attending Carnegie Mellon University, where he generated environments for playback on head-mounted displays at resolutions that left users legally blind. Curtis spe- cializes in the art path and object model of the NVIDIA Demo Team’s scene- graph API—while fighting the urge to succumb to the dark offerings of management in marketing. Kevin Bjorke, NVIDIA Kevin Bjorke works in the Developer Technology group developing and promoting next-generation art tools and entertainments, with a particular eye toward the possibilities inherent in programmable shading hardware. Before joining NVIDIA, he worked extensively in the film, television, and game industries, supervising development and imagery for Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and The Animatrix; performing numerous technical director and layout animation duties on Toy Story and A Bug’s Life; developing games on just about every commercial platform; producing theme park rides; animating too many TV com- mercials; and booking daytime TV talk shows. He attended several colleges, eventually graduat- ing from the California Institute of the Arts film school. Kevin has been a regular speaker at SIGGRAPH, GDC, and similar events for the past decade. Rod Bogart, Industrial Light & Magic Rod Bogart came to Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in 1995 after spend- ing three years as a software engineer at Pacific Data Images.
