No, it didn't. As I recall, the Jello paper presentation was about 5 minutes
long, and did not displace any papers.  It was presented at the end of the Ray
Tracing session with time at the break.  If you look at the schedule, there
were the same number of papers on the first day of the SIGGRAPH '87 Technical
Session (when Paul presented his paper) as the year before.
