SIGGRAPH `99 Course
Abstract:
This advanced course demonstrates sophisticated and novel computer graphics programming
techniques, implemented in C using the widely available OpenGL library.
By explaining the concepts and demonstrating the techniques required to generate images of
greater realism and utility, the course helps students achieve two goals: they gain a deeper
insight into OpenGL functionality and computer graphics concepts, while expanding their
``toolbox'' of useful OpenGL techniques.
Speakers
David Blythe
David Blythe is a Principal Engineer in the Advanced Graphics Software
group at Silicon Graphics. David joined SGI in 1991 and has contributed to the development
of the RealityEngine and InfiniteReality graphics systems. He has worked extensively on
implementations of the OpenGL graphics library and OpenGL extension specifications. David
is currently working on high-level toolkits which are built on top of OpenGL as well as
contributing to the continuing evolution of OpenGL. His other interests include large-scale
system design and interactive photorealism. David has been a course presenter at SIGGRAPH
'96, '97, and '98 as well as other technical forums.
Prior to joining SGI, David was a visualization scientist at the Ontario Centre for Large Scale
Computation and a lecturer at the University of Toronto. David received both a B.S. and M.S.
degree in computer science from the University of Toronto.

3D graphics at VA Research, Inc. Brad is also an Adjunct Lecturer at Santa Clara University,
where he specializes in helping students write interactive graphics applications.
Brad was a course presenter at SIGGRAPH '97 and '98, and previously contributed at Silicon
Graphics to the design and implementation of high-level graphics toolkits, including the
Fahrenheit Scene Graph, OpenGL Optimizer, and IRIS Performer. Brad's prior experience
also includes UNIX kernel code and imaging codecs. Brad received a B.S. in Computer
Science from Virginia Tech in 1992.

Mark J. Kilgard
Mark J. Kilgard is a Graphics Software Engineer at NVIDIA Corporation where he works on
upcoming RIVA graphics processors. Mark authored the book
Programming OpenGL for the
X Window System
and implemented the popular OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) for
developing portable OpenGL examples and demos. Previously, Mark worked at Silicon
Graphics on the Onyx InfiniteReality graphics supercomputer and on SGI's X Window System
implementation. Mark has taught many courses at SIGGRAPH, the Computer Game
Developers Conference, and other conferences. Mark's Karaoke rendition of Dolly Parton's ``9
to 5'' can't be beat.

Tom McReynolds
Tom McReynolds is a software engineer at Gigapixel Inc., a company developing Computer
Graphics Intellectual Property. He currently works on computer graphics hardware simulation,
verification, and device driver software.
Before that, he worked in the Advanced Graphics Software group at Silicon Graphics. He has
implemented OpenGL extensions, done OpenGL performance work, and worked on IRIS
Performer, a real-time visualization library that uses OpenGL.
Prior to SGI, he worked at Sun Microsystems, where he helped develop graphics hardware
support software and graphics libraries, including XGL.
Tom also works as an adjunct professor at Santa Clara University, where he teaches courses in
computer graphics using the OpenGL library. He has also presented at the X Technical
Conference, was a course organizer and presenter at SIGGRAPH '96, '97, and '98, and
presented for SGI at their 1996 Developer Forum, and at SGI's 1997 OpenGL Developer's
Workshop.
