Optimizing spatiotemporal variance-guided filtering for modern GPU architectures jcgt.org/published/00...

Hey I made a new thing - it's called Gradientspace Graph, and it's a C#-based NodeGraph Programming system that also supports inline C# and Python "Code Nodes". The NodeGraph Engine is MIT Open-Source and the Editor is Free. More details here: www.gradientspace.com/tutorials/20...

New blog post is finally up: (Ab)using Shader Execution Reordering. A bit of outside the box usage of SER (for better or worse). debaetsd.github.io/posts/ser/

Is there any agentic 3d engine being developed? I'm curious to see what current agents know about graphics API and rendering in general.

Some procedural shapes I made in Unity and Desmos while writing my book "Shaders & Procedural Shapes." Should I add more? The link in case you're interested ✨ jettelly.com/store/visual... #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

I got the first post about direct lighting material occlusion up on my blog. On this one I go over the commonly used micro-occlusion approach and its limitations, and I start digging into micro-shadowing as an improvement. irradiance.ca/posts/micros...

Hey @dachsjaeger.bsky.social - regarding the FG overlay advice, I can give some background here. I said most of this at a previous GDC Q&A, but the new release is obviously after my involvement so may have changed since. At the time FSR3 FG was in dev, many overlays and apps were not expecting...

After nine years of development, meshoptimizer has reached its first major version, 1.0! This release focuses on improvements in clusterization and simplification as well as stabilization. Here's a release announcement with more details on past, present and future; please RT! meshoptimizer.org/v1

The post on using spatial hashing with raytraced ambient occlusion attracted quite a bit of interest so I expanded it into a blog post to discuss how it works behind the scenes to both reduce the noise and its cost. interplayoflight.wordpress.com/2025/11/23/s...

The Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative (GRSI, www.replicabilitystamp.org), a community-driven initiative to promote replicability in Graphics research, is seeking volunteers. More details in the 'Volunteering' section of the home page.

Funding: if your mid/large business uses Dear ImGui - and maybe you are approaching end of year budget/planning etc. - please consider reaching out (PM/email) so I can help you help Dear ImGui !

Hi Engine/graphics friends. There are a few position open at Hello games over in Guildford. Jr - Graduate level (programmer) hellogames.org/jobs/junior-... Mid - Sr level (engine/graphics) hellogames.org/jobs/graphic... Note: I’m not affiliated with hello games just want to help boost openings

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.

We can finally announce that @gabrielsassone.bsky.social and I are working on the second edition of the Vulkan rendering book. More details to come soon!

I'm really enjoying the content on Timothy Lotte's new Youtube channel www.youtube.com/@neokineogfx

Has anyone ever implemented "Projective Displacement Mapping for Ray Traced Editable Surfaces"? If so, can I get some help? I cant solve these offsets between triangle boundaries for the life of me and I am totally stuck again(this is exactly what stopped me last time),any tips?

A significant amount of tech tuber "game dev" hot takes could be disproved (or, less frequently - proven) with a single pix or renderdoc capture. Following some basic frame profiler guides could dramatically improve content in this space.

Finally snapped: made a Vulkan layer that auto-labels objects with a stack trace at creation time. Now the validation layer can just tell me what I forgot to release on vkDestroyDevice :)

Another one that looks cool (and maybe more interesting to people that follow me!). Maybe not remote, but it's a pet friendly studio! jobs.arrowheadgamestudios.com/jobs/6282206...

This is the project I've made solo during Slavic Game Jam 2025. Nothing fancy, not even a game, just 5 interactive shaders, to learn how to do custom GLSL shaders in Godot (incl. temporal feedback). Source code included. reg-697500.itch.io/shader-symbi...

My lab will be recruiting at all levels. PhD students, postdocs, and a research engineering position (worldwide for PhD/postdoc, EU candidates only for the engineering position). If you're at SIGGRAPH, I'd love to talk to you if you are interested in any of these.

Back in 2021 I released a Vulkan sample that demonstrated adding ray-tracing to a traditional game render pipeline. Since then the code has rotted away and stopped working. So this week I finally resurrected it! Hope it will keep being a learning resource for beginners. github.com/diharaw/hybr...
