Two notifications over a blurred ios background (neon paper icon) This appears to be a long document! Save time with an Al Summary? (neon hot dog icon) That appears to be a huge hot dog! Grind it between a robot's toothy gears? Extruding a coarse pink mash?
I fixed my stupid sampling skill issues, and now Adaptive Sampling converges almost 25% faster. Hell yeah
I feel like it shouldn't be hard to lock ads to a fixed size window in an article. The text jumping as I'm reading is super frustrating.
I've almost got adaptive sampling working...but with the current repeating pattern issues, it's worse than the regular sampler. Of course.
Looking forward to the inflation caused by yet another blockage of shipping in the middle east being blamed on all incumbents worldwide again.
nobody asked for this game but I'm making it anyway 👍🚄
Real-time Rendering with a Neural Irradiance Volume
Delivering fast inference (~1ms/frame), a tiny memory footprint (1-5MB), 10x quality gains over probe-based methods @ equivalent mem budgets, bringing neural rendering within reach of consumer hardware without RT or denoising.

It's C++, so this might only be useful for someone else watching the thread, but I think this was specifically designed to do exactly this question. bsky.app/profile/demo...
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.

It's got the JUICE!
I mean I expected from the trailers, but #Denshattack is slick af.
Gambonanza has some serious polish, and the Balatro-but-chess idea is pretty well executed. Might be a bit easy though, I won on my third run.
[BLOG] A frame analysis of Dark Souls III

A detailed look at how the FromSoftware game renders a frame, with step-by-step comparisons and explanations.
Screenshot of five different styles of rendering SDF (signed distance field) fonts
I've written up my understanding of SDF and MSDF fonts, and how to use them with msdfgen+webgl: www.redblobgames.com/articles/sdf...
(I'll post it on my blog soon too)
I would really like it if the next one of these new stars of the Democratic party, fully media-savvy and motivated and of my generation, would show up where I could actually vote for them. Instead of just sitting here going, "that looks nice"
Well, that's the limit of my knowledge here! If it is memory latency, maybe there's an opportunity to hide the latency with some reorganization?
Any chance of RenderDoc or PIX giving you the perf info you're looking for?
DELTA for #MSX2 is now available to play:

the video game industry is a mess
Pros of shuffling my rays to Morton order instead of linear order: significantly faster frames! Cons: converges slower. :-|
A picture of a fluffy Siberian cat. She's standing on a cat tree, lit with a soft light from the side such that it highlights her fur, but there's also enough diffuse light that her eyes are lit extra clearly. In short, it's a Dan pretty photo of this cat.
Damn my cat looks good
Biggest thing for me here is a real, honest-to-god language spec is in dev for hlsl. I've spent so much time frustrated with poorly defined features, I'm excited to eventually have a true reference!
Dungeon Crawler Carl book 1 finished! It was a fun read, and it feels like there's a bit more to the heart of this story than I would've guessed from the synopsis. Certainly some eye rolls, but there's a real core to it.
CBP thought they shot down an alien saucer, calling it now.
My evening was devoured by this super connections game (45 categories of size 45) thomaswc.com/2025.html
Just saw the One Piece s2 live action trailer, and I'm so excited. It looks so gooooood! They're still nailing the heart of it!
There comes a point in every graphics programmers life where they must say, "Welp, time to read Veach's thesis"
I'm digging into various options for a low discrepancy sequence for path directions, and boy is this a rabbit hole. R2 seemed pretty good, but in high dimensions maybe one of these scrambled sobol sequences? Anyone have opinions on this?
