Ever wondered how badly we're all addicted to buying new GPUs in graphics labs? Come see our talk at #SIGGRAPH2025 to discuss how we can collectively move "Towards a sustainable use of GPUs in Graphics Research" with @elie-michel.bsky.social @axelparis.bsky.social Octave Crespel and Felix Hähnlein

'tint' is the shader compiler developed by Chrome to implement #WebGPU. It has a nice command line interface, but so far there is no official build out... Wait no more! I share here precompiled binaries of tint CLI: github.com/eliemichel/d...

I've just realized something. It makes much more sense to have the "hello triangle" pointing upside down when learning #WebGPU! 👉 The ongoing "Next" rewrite of my guide reached the Hello Triangle chapter 🥳 eliemichel.github.io/LearnWebGPU/...

🏅Honored to have been awarded at #Eurographics25 for our paper on #LipschitzPruning to speed-up SDF rendering! 👉 The paper's page: wbrbr.org/publications... Congrats to @wbrbr.bsky.social, M. Sanchez, @axelparis.bsky.social, T. Lambert, @tamyboubekeur.bsky.social, M. Paulin and T. Thonat!

Nice writeup from @mattkeeter.com inspired by our recent work on #LipschitzPruning!

New update post about the 🚧 Ongoing work! 🚧 in my LearnWebGPU C++ guide! On patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/ongoin... On Discord: discord.gg/2Tar4Kt564 Outline: 🔹 The LearnWebGPU guide 🔹 WebGPU-distribution 🔹 RenderDoc 🔹 WebGPU-C++ 🔹 WebGPU spec 🔹 Dawn 🔹 wgpu-native 🔹 GLFW and SDL 🔹 Slang x WebGPU

I am proud to announce our Eurographics 2025 paper "Lipschitz Pruning: Hierarchical Simplification of Primitive-Based SDFs"! With Mathieu Sanchez (joint first author), @axelparis.bluesky.social, @elie-michel.bsky.social, Thibaud Lambert, @tamyboubekeur.bsky.social, Mathias Paulin and Théo Thonat.

Starting to track down the usage of #WebGPU resources during a frame in my custom #RenderDoc driver! (Don't mind the usage field, it's a placeholder value for now)

Starting to nest events in the #WebGPU driver for #RenderDoc, how do you think I should handle these "WriteBuffer" that occur while encoding a "RenderPass"? Because chronologically they are submitted before the render pass even though the API call occurs after.

Who would be interested in a version of #RenderDoc that captures and replays calls to the #WebGPU API (rather than calls to the underlying DirectX/Vulkan/Metal API)? This is an early test that only lists the API calls, but already promissing! Will share when usable.

🏆 So honored that our paper received the Honorable Mention #Award at #SIGGRAPHAsia! I really like this paper BTW, it is about procedural #SignedDistanceFields, a simple idea to #differentiate them and thus provide #DirectManipulation ✨ More in the🧵⤵️ 1/8

Sharing a starter setup for using @shader-slang.bsky.social with #WebGPU in C++ with #CMake, either for native or web targets. 🔹 Uses the #reflection API to auto-generate boilerplate code! ✨ 👉 github.com/eliemichel/S... Very happy to take feedback about what's good and bad in this demo! More⤵️ 1/8

Is it me of the activity of the #WebGPU-native spec looks like a #deadline is coming? Just saying...😁 (Also, it makes it hard to follow the pace with the #LearnWebGPU guide, but I'm working on it!)

Corner Pin transform, a.k.a. #perspective transform, is super useful for #imageediting: texture replacement, undistorsion, projections for #videomapping. Corners can be static, or attached to video tracking points, etc. 1/8

Running into this annoying "scan-deps" issue when using #Cpp20 with #Emscripten? Here is a minimal #CMake setup to work it around: 👉 github.com/eliemichel/c...

Sneak peek of the future of step100 of #LearnWebGPU guide, that works only on #Dawn for now (🙏 #wgpu catch up please): Branch step100-dawn: github.com/eliemichel/L...

Want to use #WebGPU together with #SDL3? After recently upgrading #sdl2webgpu, I introduce #sdl3webgpu, little SDL3 extension to create WebGPU surface! 👉https://github.com/eliemichel/sdl3webgpu

🚂Wanna catch the #WebGPU train? Beware of nighttime construction and weekend diversions! Joke aside, this is why my guide could feel a bit behind: I value portability, hence my WebGPU-distribution follows the pace at which implementations are in sync! eliemichel.github.io/LearnWebGPU/

🌱Next Monday, come to our #SIGGRAPH2024 session to discuss about the #environmental impact of #ComputerGraphics. 🔥What our research field collectively costs? 🧯What could we do better? 🌾But also what it can bring to other fields! ft AxelParis & Octave Crespel

Our work on #NBVH (Neural ray queries with Bounding Volume Hierarchies) will be presented this summer at #SIGGRAPH2024! What's that? See🧵below ⤵️ 📃Source Code: github.com/WeiPhil/nbvh 🌐Project Page/Paper: weiphil.github.io/portfolio/ne...

And updated the #LilySurfaceScraper add-on as well to latest #Blender! 👉 github.com/eliemichel/L...

Just updated #MapsModelsImporter for Blender 4.1 and RenderDoc 1.31 (latest versions)! Import #GoogleMaps 3D into #Blender now! 👉👉👉 github.com/eliemichel/M...

Just updated the #LilyTexturePacker add-on to #Blender 4.1 (Python 3.11)! 👉 eliemichel.gumroad.com/l/DFExj

📣From now on I'll try to regularly post updates about the 🔸#WebGPU Guide🔸! Details can be found on the support #Discord server: discord.gg/ZhXvsHJr7P #LearnWebGPU #Dawn

Exploring how C++20 #coroutines can be used with the #WebGPU API, did anybody play with a similar setup already?

I've been playing around with #threejs today... did I take the name too literally? 👉Try it: eliemichel.github.io/PolyworldJs 🔤Source Code: github.com/eliemichel/P... #webgl #procedural #forest #threejs #lowpoly

2 months, 56 patches, 138 comments, 53 modified files, 1969 additions and 360 deletions later, I am proud to have my first substantial #contribution to Chrome's #WebGPU implementation (Dawn), bringing it one small step closer to standard compliance 🥲 dawn-review.googlesource.com/c/dawn/+/167...

Journée productive aujourd'hui... voici donc le troisième jeu de presse ! À propos de la grève en cours à la #TourEiffel. Jouer 🎲👉 eliemichel.github.io/JeuDePresse/...

Today was a productive day... here comes the third #newsgame about the ongoing #strike at the #EiffelTower ! Play 🎲👉 eliemichel.github.io/JeuDePresse/...

Et voici un deuxième "jeu de presse"!🎲 Cette fois-ci, c'est un homage au combat d'#AlexeiNavalny contre la corruption. #jdp 🎲👉 exppad.com/games/JeuDeP... Au fait, ces jeux sont tous open source! github.com/eliemichel/J...

Here comes a second #newsgame!🎲 This time an homage to #AlexeiNavalny's fight against corruption. 🎲👉 exppad.com/games/JeuDeP... BTW these games are all open source! github.com/eliemichel/J...

Première tentative de "jeu de presse"!🎲 À l'instar du dessin de presse, le #jdp partage une actu via une expérience interactive rapide à produire. Celui-ci est un hommage au discours du désormais regretté Robert Badinter contre la peine de mort, en 1981. 🎲👉 eliemichel.github.io/JeuDePresse/...

My first attempt at making a #newsgame!🎲 A newsgame is meant to be quickly produced to react to some news. This one is a tribute to the speech of Robert Badinter (who just passed away) against death penalty, in 1981.💀 🎲👉 eliemichel.github.io/JeuDePresse/...

I just realized that I had never shared my experiments around Oskar Stalberg's #Townscaper! Here it is, though the Unity project is be a bit outdated. 👉 github.com/eliemichel/T...

🚀 I created a Web frontend to my WebGPU C++ wrapper generator! Much easier to use this way: 👉 eliemichel.github.io/WebGPU-Cpp (Used @digitalocean for the first time, was pretty nice so far!)

I've discovered #numpy's stride_tricks module lately, and I love it! 😍 (1/10)🧵⤵️ #Python #performance

Obvioulsy, not everybody wants to read a doc from scratch!🤓 So I added a QuickStart drop down cascade 🌊 to guide newcomers to my LearnWebGPU guide! 📚https://eliemichel.github.io/LearnWebGPU

The infrastructure for #translation of the Learn #WebGPU C++ guide is now ready! Contributions are of course welcome! 👉 eliemichel.github.io/LearnWebGPU

Jeu ! 🚂 Il y a 1186 gares dans la région parisienne (au sens large ^^), combien saurez-vous retrouver ? J'ai adoré le Memory pour Paris ❤️ de Benjamin TD mais en bon banlieusard il me manquait quelque chose... donc voici la version étendue 😇 ➡️Jouer eliemichel.github.io/MemoryIDF

Game!🚂 There are 1186 train stations in Paris metropolitan area! How many can you recall by heart? Following great inspiration from Benjamin TD and Chris Arvin I hacked a couple of days ago the *Grand Paris Memory*! 🧠 ➡️Play eliemichel.github.io/MemoryIDF

I started writing this programming guide a little more than 1y ago and I am still convinced that 🚀WebGPU🚀 is a great choice for learning graphics programming even for Desktop use! Reasons follow 🧵⤵️ (The guide: eliemichel.github.io/LearnWebGPU )
