I wrote a two part blog post as intro to GPU scalarization!
Introduction to concepts and simple example: flashypixels.wordpress.com/2…
Two strategies to scalarize forward+: flashypixels.wordpress.com/2…
Hope you'll enjoy it :)

Here's a cool new paper on an energy-preserving version of the Oren-Nayar model for a rough diffuse BRDF. By @jamportz, @pzkutz, and @self_shadow!

I can't believe we're done!

A short film we on the Demo Team have been working on for a while
youtu.be/o1JIK5W3DRU
Like all our team’s demos, it runs in real-time at 30fps in Unity. Over the next days I’ll be posting rendering and tech art breakdowns in this 🧵
The latest Unity demo was announced and as always it is amazing! I am super proud to see some of the tech I worked on there!
@robcupisz @tlaedre @codeverses and the whole team, you guys are monsters! Incredible stuff! Congratulations!

Looking for a fast method to render your large-scale game components?
Our lastest @HPG_Conf paper allows to render terrains, oceans and even entire planets in realtime on any modern GPU using compute shaders. Fun fact: we use a Concurrent Binary Tree as a GPU memory manager.

Properly paced, going deeper into history, context, gamedev practices, and explaining recommendations - check it out! :)

I am excited to finally share our recent paper "Filtering After Shading With Stochastic Texture Filtering" (with Matt Pharr, @marcosalvi, and Marcos Fajardo), published at ACM I3D'24 / PACM CGIT, where we won the best paper award! 1/N

After reading through the excellent ZH3 paper by @torust/@miwanicki/@Peter_shirley (torust.me/ZH3.pdf), I added the ZH3 hallucination method for calculating irradiance to both BakingLab and Probulator

“Low-level thinking in high-level shading languages” is in my top 3 most influential presentations, one that changed the way I think about shader programming. 2023 was the 10th anniversary so I tried a quick refresh and discussed developments since. interplayoflight.wordpress.c…

I just wrote a blog post about how to use the power of your GPU even if you're not a graphics programmer. I used it to outperform my old-school Amiga image converter. I easily got 15x speedup on my old 7 years old laptop! #amiga #demoscene #GPU
