Use when structuring or revising a SIGGRAPH / TOG technical paper, covering the teaser figure, a results-first first page, the graphics contribution framing (technique + quality/performance), comparison-driven evaluation, honest limitations, and the acmart 7-page discipline for the conference track.

# SIGGRAPH Writing Style

A SIGGRAPH paper earns acceptance by making a **graphics contribution** legible on the first page
and **showing** its results, not merely describing them. The reader is a domain expert who will
form an opinion from your **teaser figure and results video** before finishing the abstract. This
skill builds the SIGGRAPH first-page arc and the body discipline the `acmart` budget enforces.
Anchor format facts to `resources/official-source-map.md`.

## The SIGGRAPH first-page arc

**problem a graphics practitioner recognizes -> why prior methods fall short (quality, speed,
generality, or robustness) -> our technique in one sentence -> the result shown (teaser) -> what it
enables.** All of it visible on page one, with the **teaser figure** doing half the work.
