SIGGRAPH 2025 marked the 52nd edition of the iconic conference, rightly dubbed the premier global gathering for computer graphics and interactive techniques. This year was Form Volume’s first time attending the conference, and it did not disappoint. From animation, to simulation, to imaging, to modeling and rendering, this conference brings an engaging blend of art, science and technology on a grand scale.
Some key highlights of the event were:
In addition to being able to experience the conference, network, learn and ideate, Form Volumes was able to take part at the exhibition in a big way with partner, Puget Systems and offer a “Virtual Rage Room” immersive experience where markerless motion capture technology by Capturytracked body movements without the need for physical markers or suits, allowing attendees to move freely in the activation while their motions are captured in real time. An energetic and highly shareable moment of full-performance capture, all powered by an integrated suite of high-end tools, including:
SIGGRAPH 2025 was a celebration of convergence where foundational research, real-world workflows, and experiential storytelling all collided under one roof.
For Form Volumes in particular, SIGGRAPH 2025 was a beacon of what’s possible when disciplines unite. Where the next wave of creativity isn’t just made, but imagined in its future form. And a stunning example of what can be achieved when specialist disciplines come together to execute on an idea.
Thank you to Puget Systems, OptiTrack, Captury, District Cinema, Unilumin and Unreal Engine for making this year’s conference one to remember.
Some key highlights of the event were:
- Technical Papers Fast Forward – Where attendees got to vote on the most captivating presentations of the conference which included everything from advanced rendering techniques to immersive haptics, signaling powerful strides in real-time visualization, generative AI, and interactive environments.
- Creativity Meets Discovery – Beyond technical depth, SIGGRAPH continued to embody a fusion of logic and imagination with one of the biggest topics being generative AI and the careful consideration of ethical, creative and technical implications that it comes with.
- Geospatial and Cartographic Advances – Presentations on Gaussian Splats for standardization helped bridge graphics with world-scale mapping and 3D workflows.
- Immersive Storytelling and Innovation – The overarching conference theme of immersive storytelling blended with technological innovation and the showcasing of narrative work that pushes technical and creative boundaries is one in which Form Volumes was able to take a lot away from and will be able to apply to its own work in providing customers with the latest infrastructures, pipelines and content ideas.

An energetic and highly shareable moment of full-performance capture, all powered by an integrated suite of high-end tools, including:
- Markerless motion capture by Captury—no reflective suits or dots required
- Full-body and prop tracking via a truss-mounted OptiTrack camera array using Motive software.
- Real-time facial tracking
- LED visualization through Unilumin’s all-in-one wall systems
- Real-time rendering in Unreal Engine
- Lightning-fast media handling with Puget Systems’ high-performance workstations
- Cloud integration to deliver instant shareable content.
SIGGRAPH 2025 was a celebration of convergence where foundational research, real-world workflows, and experiential storytelling all collided under one roof.
- For researchers, it delivered radical new methods around Gaussian splatting, neural rendering, VR modeling, and more; reshaping how we visualize and simulate.
- For industry and production pros, it offered tangible insights into geospatial pipelines, VDI infrastructure, and content standards.
- And for artists and creators, it was an arena of immersive expression, where AR narratives and creative presentations met technical sophistication.
