Understanding The Math Behind ReSTIR GI Recently, I had the pleasure of contributing to Nvidia’s Zorah project, the flagship demo for the RTX 50 Series GPUs. My primary role was to provide technical support for light transport in Zorah, whi...

Here is a new blog post of mine, where I dive deep into the theory and math behind ReSTIR GI.

Big thanks to Markus Kettunen for verifying the theory, reviewing the article, and catching a key detail I had missed.

It work within my repo. It may need some adjustment to work on other theme, I'm not quite sure though.

Short code to support references in hugo blog post Short code to support references in hugo blog post - example_post.md

Right, the source code is here. I forgot.

Hi @mjp123.bsky.social

I thought this is something you may want to make it easier for you to write post in the future, 😀.

This is a lot of talk to chatgpt to make it happen, 😅

- Reference to a same item will result to the same link.
- The reference text will be a link on post, which links to the line of the corresponding reference item.
- Reference link supports both external link and other internal hugo post link.

[tbc]

Here are the features it supports.
- References with actual reference first will show earlier in the reference list
- References without actual references will show after those are actually refered in the order they are defined.
- Failing to find the tag will produce obvous error on page

[tbc]

- Reference to an item with a short code by using their tag, rather than hard coding it with numbers and links.
- At the end of the article, simply do `{{< refshow >}}` to show all the references articles.

[tbc]

So I build a tool that allows us to define references in a painless way in the future.

Here is how it works.
- Define references at the beginning, rather than at the end. Defining != showing.
- For each item, we only need tag, title and link/page. Page is for reference to other post of yours.

A nice hugo blog post tool that I built today

Sometimes, when we work on a post with a bunch of references, we may need to remove or add items in between.
When the article is almost done, adding/removing any of the references requires updating a bunch of hardcoded numbers, which is error prone
