Description

Commentary video by Cem Yuksel stating personal reasons to boycott SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 in Malaysia. The URL is a single short YouTube talk under ten minutes, not a technical course or paper page.

It presents arguments for the boycott, points viewers to an open letter from the graphics community, and mentions alternative venues such as ACM Transactions on Graphics, High-Performance Graphics, and the Symposium on Computer Animation. The focus is community and venue choice rather than a rendering tutorial.

Intended for graphics researchers, practitioners, and students deciding how to engage with SIGGRAPH Asia 2026. No shader or math prerequisites; context about academic graphics venues helps.

Free public YouTube video with description links to the open letter and alternative venues. Watch online; the piece is opinion and advocacy, not conference proceedings.

Useful as a primary-source statement when tracking community discussion about SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 attendance and submission choices.
