Computer Animation and Visual Effects: Research Databases

Why are research databases useful?

The databases and resources listed on this page make it much easier to find research produced by the top practitioners and scholars in the fields of computer animation and visual effects.

mySearch

mySearch is an interface which allows you to search across a range of library resources simultaneously, including books, journal articles and databases.

ACM Digital Library

What is it?

ACM stands for the Association for Computing Machinery. It is a research, discovery and networking platform containing all ACM publications (journals, conference proceedings, technical magazines...) and a curated collection of publications from other publishers.

About the ACM Digital Library

SIGGRAPH

SIGGRAPH is an ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics. It is an international community of researchers, artists, developers, filmmakers, scientists and business professionals with a shared interest in computer graphics and interactive techniques.

About SIGGRAPH

SIGGRAPH publish Proceedings of the ACM in Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, where you will find research in areas related to computer graphics and interactive techniques.

Proceedings from the SIGGRAPH conference are also available.
A a useful summary of all the conference materials is available on the SIGGRAPH website. The content itself is accessible by logging into the ACM Digital Library.

View material from the conference on the ACM SIGGRAPH YouTube channel.
