I spent the last few days implementing the fantastic curvenet pixar article : dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.... it's very cool to be able to animate meshs without having to paint animation weight A pain to implement though ^^

This is one of the best games of all time. While out on a walk – after playing for a few hours – the pieces for how it was going to end suddenly clicked together in my mind. It felt like getting hit by a 2x4 (complimentary).

As with many CG concepts, implementations can be very different to the ref. + the ref often doesn't bother efficiency and tweaks. For Gabor noise, a ref implem was just posted here: shadertoy.com/view/slj3W1 NB: all ingredients have been revisited here: inria.hal.science/hal-02104389

-- JOB SEARCH POST/RT APPRECIATED -- Hello everyone! I am available for work (full time position/internship) anywhere in the world with priority going to the EU, starting June 2026. 🧵

I don’t like to publicly criticize science articles, but this work perfectly illustrate what I think is wrong in graphics nowadays : yunfan.zone/gswt_webpage/ This work is clearly doing shell map like texture synthesis, and do not cite any previous work. The word « texture » is not even mentioned.

🌶️ Hot take: ML-based graphics makes some graphics researchers unhappy for the same reason diffusion models make artists unhappy. Both automate the interesting and beautiful parts of the work and both deskill the worker. Both result in questionable quality and both are being adopted regardless.

It is time! 🥰🤍🤍🤍 www.kickstarter.com/projects/roz...

September 9th! Save the date! My two Lenormands will also be available during the campaign! :D

Packed this little guy up for #SIGGRAPH2025 Come to our course on Computational Craft, Wed 2-5 to see it in action! s2025.conference-schedule.org/presentation...

Recently google scholar wrongly attributed one of my article ot another author. In my quest to fix the issue I discovered that their is no way to contact scholar. (appart from a contact email that is propably redirected to /dev/null)

Hardware virtual textures look like a marvelous tool for large terrains or volume compression. Alas, they are in a sad state in terms of performance and usability. And strangely, the (very bad) binding perfs varies a lot with the driver. → read here: hal.science/hal-05138369 @rcmz0.bsky.social

I know a few lab heads who are going to regret putting their name on all the paper going out of their lab 🤡

Triangles offer a natural strata to layout efficient non uniform random sampling on meshes. Our triangle rejection sampling reaches 10B samples/sec, which can feed primitive instancing, fiber distributions or emissivity sampling. Details in our HPG25 paper: research.adobe.com/publication/...

Holding SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 in Malaysia is a slap in the face to the rights of LGBTQ+ people. Especially now, when underrepresented people need as much support as we can possibly give them ! Angry like me ? Sign this open letter to let them know. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We’re in the MIT news! Read about Leticia’s amazing new SIGGRAPH paper and the most fun I’ve had during my time at MIT! news.mit.edu/2025/animati...

Do you like voxels and implicits' representations and wish you could animate them in real-time? Now you can! Check out our article: "Real-time rendering of animated meshless representations" to know how: hal.science/hal-05095359 Shout out to @pacomeluton.bsky.social for this fantastic work!

#HPG25 program has been published! highperformancegraphics.org/2025/program...

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

An update, a bit of retrospection, and a call for you, yes, you, to help JCGT a bit: www.realtimerendering.com/blog/jcgt-is...

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.

Apply now to be part of the 2025 cohort of rising starts in computer graphics 🌟 This is a mentoring program with workshops co-located with Siggraph, for students and post-docs of under-represented genders in CG www.wigraph.org/events/2025-... Follow us for more news >> @wigraph.bsky.social

Maybe it’s time to remind the graphic research community that there are a lot of great conferences outside of the US

4 weeks to the HPG papers deadline (and 3 to the abstract deadline). Our call for posters, Hot3D and the student competition are also online and @c0de517e.bsky.social is confirmed as our first keynote speaker. highperformancegraphics.org/2025/program...

Congratulations to @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social and the entire Flow film crew for the Academy Award win! Flow is the manifestation of Blender’s mission, where a small independent team is able to create a story that moves audiences worldwide. Thank you for the shout out! 🧡 #b3d

According to the SIGGRAPH Executive Committee Meeting Minutes, SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 will take place in Malasyia, the *second most deadly country for trans people in the entire world*

The High-Performance Graphics 2025 papers deadline is 8 weeks from now on April 14 (abstract deadline is April 7). I hope your research is coming along nicely. I can't wait to see what you've been working on and to meet at HPG in Copenhagen, June 23-25. highperformancegraphics.org/2025/program...

Heard from a colleague doing research on AI: « We publish proof of concept, why bother polishing something that is going to be obsolete in 6 month » It was three weeks ago and I still don’t know what to answer

I wanted to test Dall-e to see what the state of the art looks like now. I got the following results. (The prompt was: show me a picture of a mechanic fixing a Mustang)

On behalf of the '25 paper chairs: 🎉 The #HPG2025 Call for Papers is LIVE! Join us in beautiful Copenhagen, June 23-25, for cutting-edge discussions on graphics hardware and software. Co-located with #EGSR2025, it's the perfect stage for your research. 👉 highperformancegraphics.org/2025/program...

This should be illegal

Has everyone forgot about sparse convolution noises?

It's amazing how many researchers are making a new "significant contribution" every 2 weeks.

I have joined the editorial board of the Journal of Computer Graphics Techniques. jcgt.org

Shannon Woods from NVIDIA gave a great presentation on Slang at SIGGRAPH Asia. The slides and video are available on the event page: www.khronos.org/events/siggr...

I fell in löve (pun intended) with Lua for parameterizing my C/C++ programs and for prototyping. #screenshotsaturday

🏆 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

At #SIGGRAPHAsia, I just saw a paper talk where many of the examples shown are about making videos of women in short skirts and gym clothes dance to whatever sequence you want from a single image. How does this get published?
