The
people behind Siggraph 2007 announced an interesting, and
interestingly named, animation competition today. FJORG! – that's
pronounced Forge, not Fyorg or F-Jorg – will be a 32 hour
competition consisting of sixteen, three member teams working to
create their own character-driven animated sequences, all before a
live audience at Siggraph. The shorts will have to be a minimum of 15
seconds in length and will be based on specific themes as picked by
the competition's judges.
The teams will be competing for the title of “FJORG! - 2007 Viking Animator” and various, currently unnamed prizes. The teams will be judges by various industry professionals, also currently unnamed. Any interested participants will have to submit demo reels, between March 1st and May 1st, along with a $30 USD submission fee. Anybody interested in submitting material should check out the official rules and regulations of the competition first at http://www.siggraph.org/s2007/presenters/fjorg/, and don't forget that submissions need to be made by teams of three people. Once you've checked out the rules and regulations, head over to http://www.siggraph.org/s2007/presenters/forms/ to submit your demo reel. Siggraph 2007 will be held at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA from August 5th to 9th. Good luck to all who enter.

Novint
Technologies announced its plans to release 3D touch drivers for Half
Life 2 and the Novint Falcon. Better yet, the drivers will be
available for free at Novint's website starting June 18th.
Since the Novint Falcon allows players to feel things like shape,
texture, weight and force when playing games, it will certainly give
a very different experience during gameplay than what players are
accustomed to. For more information on Novint and the Novint Falcon,
you can check out www.novint.com.
