Already got my ticket for this year's Graphics Programming Conference in Breda. No talks announced yet, but it's bound to be great :) graphicsprogrammingconference.com

To three days of post-rock at Dunk festival! ❤️

The ultimate conclusion reached with @simppafi.bsky.social on our holidays in Slovenia: "There's no point. Only point of view."

As much as I dislike Google, sometimes they still make me laugh 😂

The Cat of Damocles

A friend and I were once asked to leave the Scientology Kirken in Copenhagen for being too weird. At the time, we didn't even really know what Scientology was.

I adored Scavengers Reign, a very imaginative animated sci-fi series. It would make a terrific open-world survival game. www.imdb.com/title/tt2105...

INTRODUCTION TO SPHERICAL HARMONICS FOR GRAPHICS PROGRAMMERS finally done. gpfault.net/posts/sph.html

Agreed. As a game programmer and as a researcher.

Hello from the lower left side the world!

Resident Evil Requiem was an absolute blast. I wish more games had Behind the Scenes videos as a completion reward.

When I was 14, Zed3D was the resource that first taught me linear algebra (and made the following years' math classes much easier). I'd still recommend it today for anyone getting started: ignorantisimo.free.fr/3D/docs/zed3...

Gaussian splats are getting interesting youtube.com/watch?v=X8yR...

In my desperate quest to avoid Big Tech, I've tried many Linux distros lately (PopOS, Fedora, Bazzite, Nobara) and used others in the past (fe: Ubuntu, Mint). Pretty happy with CachyOS. Some hassle with things like HDMI 5.1 audio output, but overall pretty solid. Finally one that rarely locks up!

The Jetsons lied to us

Childhood memories finally arrived 😁

Corrected headline: "Nvideo CEO demonstrates he has no understanding of the core issues and where the backlash comes from." No one wants statistic average application of styles. Except, of course, CEOs.

Statistically average photorealism, what a dream.

I didn't mind Avatar 3's varying frame rate. I was too distracted getting nauseated by ScreenX. What fresh hell is this?!

I finally wrapped up the second post on the series about micro-shadowing. On this one I go over a basic approach based on a microsurface, and I show results for different materials and lighting conditions. irradiance.ca/posts/micros...

Our GPC 2025 talks are up on YT now! youtu.be/fXakIV1OFes?... youtu.be/mvCoqCic3nE?...

Ah yes. Suddenly locked to a 800x600 resolution like it's 1997. Having to reboot 10 times a day wasn't bad enough. Actually missing Windows, despite its bloat :(

Sushi has no patience for Narfi's posing.

I'll be speaking at GAME 2026 next week in Kortrijk Belgium! bivector.net/game2026.html

Criminally funny, but also I'm crying inside Norway comes for the #TechBros www.forbrukerradet.no/breakingfree vimeo.com/1168468796?f...

It's being worked on! Details are still being shaked out. Prerequisites have starting landing in the spec and in dawn (Chrome). E.g. latest Chrome release now supports textures and samplers in let bindings (variables). Some type of buffer reinterpreting scheme is also being debated.

I think that the latest proposal is here: hackmd.io/@cwfitzgeral... You might want to ask the question directly in the webgpu matrix channel for more infos tho: matrix.to#/#WebGPU:mat...

Does anyone know what the status is for true bindless support in WebGPU? Last I heard was in a Chrome dev blog from 2024; it being vaguely "under consideration".

Needlets are spherically localized, fall off exponentially and really do form a Parseval Tight Frame. It's a mystery why we keep using Spherical Harmonics when those ring something terrible. arxiv.org/pdf/1508.05406

passing on the good word: "Threejs Conf Paris, here we go ! 🚀 --> threejs.paris Waitlist open !" organized by David Ronai (et al.), already a solid lineup :)

Well put

Just a reminder that for most people, "freedom" and "liberty" means they should be able to do whatever the fuck they want, and restrict others from doing whatever the fuck *they* want.

Don’t. Privatize. Space.

Send him home. #billwhite

This arrived quickly. A bunch of very in-depth articles, especially on Doom: The Dark Ages. Looking forward to diving in. Narfi approves!

I cannot stress enough to people outside the US how dangerous coming to this country is right now. There is still time to cancel your GDC trip. Stay safe, and do not come.

Super happy we had the chance to contribute 2 articles to this book, and even the amazing cover image. Thanks for keep this legendary book series going!

A colleague sent me this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jVo... No further comments needed, it's **very** good. I've seen some of his videos in the past, but I missed this one. Glad I saw it.

Q for Linux game/creative devs. Once every few years, I check a promising distro. With Pop!_OS (Cosmic), things seem to have vastly improved, especially in terms of gpu and network support. But Photoshop/Affinity is still the main problem. Wine just doesn't seem to cut it. (and don't say "Gimp" 🤦)

I also added depth to the last free texture channel in order to (hopefully) achieve some parallax. Now to actually use this stuff!

I'm finally writing up how Nanite Tessellation works. The first few blogs posts are up. More will be coming. graphicrants.blogspot.com/2026/02/nani...

Finally finished the cloud baking tool. Here are some comparisons between the original raymarched version, and the SH billboards encoding all lighting directions (3x rgba16f). Results are not perfect, but at least sell the idea "these are detailed clouds".
