the 2nd part of my dithering visual article is finally out! 🔗 visualrambling.space/dithering-pa... this one mainly explores the threshold map and how it generates those unique visual patterns hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it! made with #threejs & #animejs

Finally finished Gatling's Metal backend! Here's a teaser of NVIDIA's USD / MDL sample scene 'Attic' running on macOS. What's special about the backend is probably that it uses the same GLSL code as the Vulkan backend, complete with hardware ray tracing. How does that work?

🤔 What if you could skip painful subdiv modeling and paint your knurls instead? @oddenough.art demonstrates a fast, non-destructive workflow using Toolbag’s vector layers and symmetry mode to create and refine knurling patterns in no time.

Dear ImGui now embeds a vector/scalable version of the classic font by default, manually subsetted/optimized so it fits in 18 KB (opt-out possible). Embedding ensures easily and readily usable in all contexts. Should default to new one on most setups. Here's a compare of both. #ChristmasMiracle

Here's an update on my small-voxel renderer, inspired by the look of games like Doom and Quake. The work I shared last year focused on handling simpler environment geometry. Since then, I've greatly expanded the scope of what I can depict in this art style. More info in thread.

Ray marching is a common approach to GPU-accelerated volume rendering, but gives biased transmittance estimates. My new #SIGGRAPHAsia paper (+code) proposes an amazingly simple formula to eliminate this bias almost completely without using more samples. momentsingraphics.de/SiggraphAsia...

🎄 Introducing our paper A Generalizable Light Transport 3D Embedding for Global Illumination lnkd.in/gQUMSAyV . 🙈 Just as Transformers learn long-range relationships between words or pixels, our new paper shows they can also learn how light interacts and bounces around a 3D scene.

I finally found the time and energy to make a new blog and write a couple of posts. This time I wrote about PBR content and game development principles. Both posts are quite different so hopefully people find something interesting on either one of them. irradiance.ca/posts/

Just heard Drew Struzan passed away 😞 His incredible work has given me and countless others so much awe, joy and inspiration! I had posters of his work as a teen, I began using color pencils because I thought he used them too. Always inspired by him. Just utterly heart broken. RIP Drew Struzan.

Autodesk VRED 2026 has introduced new Vulkan renderer alongside the traditional OpenGL real-time pipeline, addressing fundamental limitations while introducing hybrid ray tracing capabilities that significantly enhance visual quality in real-time scenarios on […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Overview on the BLAS sharing techniques (2nd attempt). github.com/nvpro-sample...

Was curious about what NASA stuff the Internet Archive might have and came across this gorgeous bit of cassette/diskette futurism: wind tunnel software and hardware at the Lewis Research Centre. The worm logo is so fitting for that kind of display. <3

Anpther major update to our cluster lod ray tracing sample. Zorah scene available as glTF raw.githubusercontent.com/nvpro-sample... BLAS caching github.com/nvpro-sample... BLAS merging github.com/nvpro-sample... Special thanks to Adam Marrs, Pyarelal Knowles for ideas and Chris Perrella for zorah.

in the spirit of sharing, my improvised (aka mess) shader: www.shadertoy.com/view/3fSyWG . only 'new' thing I tried was doing aa/bloom by using a cauchy distribution on the ray jitter, its a sharp but long tailed distribution. gives a pleasing analog glow, still all 1 pass, no rendertargets or blurs

Looks like my calendar is free from November onward. Available for concept deign jobs for hard surface/sci fi work! Re shares appreciated!
