More Siggraph news

News on some of the big players from this year’s Siggraph conference

Apple
After a lengthy absence Apple returned to Siggraph with a bang, booking the largest stand at the exhibition to showcase its Motion real time motion graphics design package. Sadly, the only company giving away free bits of Apple kit at the show were AMD who raffled an iPod every day for people attending training sessions and seminars.
