Tripo AI at 🌟

Join Dr. Yanpei Cao, Chief Scientist at Tripo AI, and the Tripo research team on Wednesday, 22 July, for a sponsored keynote titled "Building the Interactive Future: The Full-Stack Evolution of 3D Generative AI and World Models."

Journey into how AI is moving beyond isolated assets to dynamically generated worlds shaped by millions of creators — all in real time.

Surface how geometry, topology, texturing, and rigging evolve together in interactive environments, and experience firsthand the possibilities of Generative World Models that simulate physics, dynamics, and continuous interaction. This is your chance to witness the future of interactive media, where creativity and computation converge.

Rendering, re-examined through the lens of quantum interactions. ⚛️

In the SIGGRAPH 2026 Talk "Exploring Quantum Computing for Texture Generation," light-matter interaction is modeled as a sequence of quantized collisions — bridging classical ray tracing with quantum-inspired computation.

This framework reframes subsurface scattering and multi-layer interference as structured, rule-based interactions, offering new directions for generating complex material responses.
