Just pushed a technique to avoid too many BLAS builds for continuous cluster-based LoD ray tracing. Thanks to Pyarelal Knowles whose instance merging idea was a precursor to this solution and helped on debugging.

See you there!!
Just relaunched papaya.io — a web-based image editor I've been building on nights and weekends. What's new:
- .ppy file format for local saves
- Automatic browser persistence
- WebP import/export support
Building fast and shipping features regularly. Try it out — feedback very welcome.
Implicit surfaces are great, but if you are not Inigo Quilez, it's really hard to control how they look...
That's why I'm really proud to annonce our Eurographics 2025 paper: "Implicit UVs: Real-time semi-global parameterization of implicit surfaces".
First! Been meaning to start posting here, and what better way than my first blog post in a while: Upsampling via Multisampling. It's an experiment in using an MSAA buffer to perform 4x area scaling.

Left: an input CSG tree and a much smaller pruned tree computed using our method. Right: a rendered scene showing the number of active nodes per cell. Our method reduces the active nodes to less than 20 from the initial 6023 nodes of the input tree.
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.

This false myth stems from our misunderstanding of stimuli *as* colour.
Always remember: Anyone who tries to tell you that “Uniform Colour Spaces” or “Colour Appearance
On behalf of the '25 paper chairs:

The Gaussian is a nice bumpy shape, but sometimes we hope for a smooth (i.e. C∞) function like the Gaussian that is 𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒐 compactly supported.
One such class of functions is called "Bump functions"
