Ok, new sokol+box3d integration sample is out: floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/... Had to disable WASM SIMD last minute because of a LLVM/Clang regression in emsdk 6.0.3 (will investigate and write a ticket later). Also comes with a breaking sokol_shape.h update: github.com/floooh/sokol...

The 6502 had no hardware multiply, so programmers used lookup tables. Store the squares of 0-511 in a table, then use the identity (a*b) = ((a+b)^2 - (a-b)^2) / 4. Two table lookups and a subtraction instead of a shift-and-add loop. The 6502 taught you math tricks no textbook covered.

"Macros-scans, on a budget." I wanted to create Gaussian Splatting models from tiny objects. It was a bumpy ride I wrote an article to cover the hardware (a toy), the rig (LEGO) and the CV algos used to denoise, calibrate, mask & stack focus. the article barradeau.com/blog/?p=1405

TinyBVH has just been 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝟭.𝟴.𝟬. For CPU ray tracing, it is now the fastest option in most cases - Outperforming Intel Embree and Madmann91 for BVH build time and single-ray performance. On GPU, performance exceeds 4B rays per second - 4 rays per pixel at 4k/120Hz. github.com/jbikker/tiny...

I just released an extension to stb_truetype that allows you to render COLRv0/1 glyphs, (e.g. emojis). codeberg.org/memononen/co... 1k5 loc, header only, a bit clunky, but gets the job done.

Our #HPG2026 paper "Memory-Efficient Bounding Volume Hierarchies with Merged Nodes for Hardware Ray Tracing" introduces new ways of constructing BVHs that consistently outperform state-of-the-art BVHs for GPU ray tracing. Project page: graphics.cs.utah.edu/research/pro... @ebrunvand.bsky.social

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/0...

Quick little overview of how I did my seagull vertex shader. No CPU animation. One draw-call for entire flock. No texture lookups except color. All math. 🕊️ #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine

meshoptimizer 1.2 is out! Featuring support for tangent generation, a significantly faster vertex decoder for Intel/AMD CPUs, several new smaller algorithms (cluster position compression, triangle filtering, clusterlod BVH) and more. GitHub stars and boosts appreciated! github.com/zeux/meshopt...

The full set of HPG'26 papers is now available! dl.acm.org/toc/pacmcgit...

We're finally bringing our powerful and user friendly CPU profiler to Linux! The beta version is now publically available, and it's free for 60 days during the open beta, so there's really no excuse not to try it out! Just download, extract, optimize. superluminal.eu/applications...

*tap tap* Is this thing on? www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9bz... rookandpossum.com/posts/scanli... I made a thing! I suspect I'll be posting to an empty room like a madman, but for now, I'm going to make a habit to start posting things here when I post videos/blogs/papers.

A new article: Revisiting Yliluoma’s ordered dither algorithm 30fps.net/pages/revisi... It's a deep dive to a single "color selection algorithm" used for ordered dithering. Nothing groundbreaking but I did uncover a neat simplified version that works OK. It's technical but with visual examples.

New Blog post! This one explains our technique for modeling and generating volumetric worlds in the context of a game. 🪨 Overhangs, caves, arches - all those procedurally generated at runtime. 🔗 Link: newheadstudio.com/blog/volumet... #gameDev #proceduralGeneration #unity3d #indieDev #erosion

At SIGGRAPH 2026, I will present a paper titled "Continuity-Enhancing Degree Elevation and Splits" that can form C2 (or higher) curves from a given C1 curve, because we can only do C1 with Bezier handles. Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzDO... Project Page: graphics.cs.utah.edu/research/pro...

I'm excited to share the open-source release of hdMitsuba, a USD Hydra delegate for the Mitsuba 3 renderer. By leveraging the Hydra API, this project brings Mitsuba directly into OpenUSD workflows. The GIF below shows interactive rendering within usdview. 🧵

I am excited to announce Dr.Jit 1.4 and Mitsuba 3.9 which now feature GPU-accelerated compute/ray tracing on Apple Silicon. Significant optimizations in both projects accelerate tracing/code generation ~2x. They generate better code and have faster Python bindings.🧵

When you transition from rasterization to ray tracing, you may want to compute camera rays based on a 4x4 world to clip space matrix. My new blog post shows why the obvious approach for that fails and provides code for a reliable alternative: momentsingraphics.de/CameraRays.h...

A dream was always to make a "cloud" tool. Now over the last 1-2 years I tried to build smth on and off. Now I made it work in the browser. WARNING! Depending on the settings it can take a lot of GPU power, so be careful. Only for people who know what they're doing. artbuddy.urlich.ch/cloudbox/

Found a bug in the radiance caching code snippet published on my blog so went and ahead and corrected it:) (explanations and visualisations in replies 👇)

New blog post! In "Zigzag decoding with AVX-512", we look at two different ways to possibly (caveat emptor) speed up various forms of zigzag decoding with AVX-512 functionality that isn't just "wider registers"! zeux.io/2026/06/17/z...

pugixml 1.16 is out! It's a nice release, but also it's the 20th anniversary release, so I wrote a few words on the history in the release notes :) but also it's a well rounded release by itself, with bug fixes, performance improvements and a couple tiny features. github.com/zeux/pugixml...

The alpha version of my new book "Optimal Transport for Machine Learners" is out, with in particular an online version with interactive figures www.gpeyre.com/ot4ml/

I recently completed my PhD thesis, where I developed algorithms for making geometric inferences from imperfect data (i.e. incomplete and inaccurate observations/representations of shapes, like broken meshes or point clouds). A thread 🧵:

In gamedev, we're used to sound coming from single points in space, but how do we handle sound coming from an irregular shape? In this article (with plenty code snippets), I go into details with the Point Cloud Sound technique I'm using for water and foliage: blog.runevision.com/2026/06/poin...

The MaterialX PBR specification is gaining formal mathematics! This proposal adds scattering equations for each BSDF, EDF, and VDF, so that renderers can implement shading nodes directly from the spec. Feedback and review from the rendering community are very welcome: github.com/AcademySoftw...
