Marcin Zalewski informed me that his blog post on real-time hair rendering using ray tracing is now available:

This is nice work, in which he compares NVidia's hardware accelerated hair to several alternatives, including Reshetov's Phantom Ray Hair Intersector.

Nanite Tessellation Nanite Tessellation, aka Nanite Dynamic Tessellation, aka Nanite Dynamic Displacement was the next major feature I worked on after Nanite it...

I'm finally writing up how Nanite Tessellation works. The first few blogs posts are up. More will be coming.

New Method Is the Fastest Way To Find the Best Routes | Quanta Magazine A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the classic algorithm taught in textbooks.

Fascinating! It's taken 40 years, but a group have found a faster shortest path technique than Dijkstra’s algorithm!

Ever seen one of these, and wondered *why* they work? 🧵

This is a so-called Bitonic sorting network, and the illustrations show the two common ways to implement them. From an implementation point of view the two methods are effectively the same, so which one you pick just comes down to preference.

I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".
