Citation style for ACM SIGGRAPH

ragdoll
I see there is a citation style for acm sigchi, does someone have a citation style for acm siggraph or can someone suggest a similar style to be modified?
Thank you

    Were you able to find a style for siggraph? I'm searching too.

    I don't think there is one:

    I'm looking for one now too, and following the directions on your link above. The closest match is ACM SIGCHI Conference Proceedings, but there are several differences. There is already a BibTeX file created, link here: http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions

    Also, page 4 of SIGGRAPH's instructions detail the citations and references styles: http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions.pdf
    and the final page of that pdf shows an example reference list.

    I can't find any freely available paper, but am happy to email you an example if the above instructions/template paper isn't sufficient. If there's any way to get this done before technical papers are due Jan 17 2012, that would be fabulous! The sooner the better.

    please provide a list of differences as described under the "requesting styles" link.

    Actually, it looks like the citation style is closer to APA 6th Ed Except:
    In text citations are in brackets (not parentheses)
    Reference list:
    Author names are in small caps
    The year is not in parentheses
    The second and successive lines of each entry are indented by 2em.
    Single spaced within reference, double space between.

    That is the only information I have without going into the BibTeX file, which I don't know how to do. Thanks
