TinyDiffRast A tiny course on differentiable rasterization.

This is a great introduction to differentiable / inverse rendering - rasterization specifically.
I've read through it and am currently working on implementing some things.

Ask yourself if kids prefer toys, or stores. Games from a generation ago were allowed to be toys. Games today are forced to be stores.

There's no shame in being wrong about something.

There is shame in choosing to be wrong.

AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

The WORLD WIDE WEB was invented in Switzerland (by a Brit), the INTERNET was not invented there.

I demand a full apology from Eurovision, the BBC, and the nation of Switzerland.

I made a video essay! It's a love letter to 3d software crammed in between several hate notes about 3d software companies. Maybe it can be something you put on in the background while you do art. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

It's an any% speedrun of our GPU-driven rendering, shadows, global illumination, water, and DoF, involving a few weird tricks.

I wanted to do a side-by-side comparison of my #procedural animation to hand-authored animations on some models I bought. This is so I can better study what I need to improve.

When I got my comparison tool running for the first time, this is what I was greeted with! Step-height glitch I think. πŸ˜…

A comic strip with two panels, the first panel is a drawing of a black dog with a red collar with the text "no need be best" written above the dog, the second panel is the same dog with the text "only good and kind" written about it.

A bunch of men are hanging out in a big hole. A sign points to it labelled "Hole." One of the men in the hole points to a sign that says "NEW HOLE." He says "hey look! someone made a new hole!" All the men frantically rush out of the old hole and into the new one. One comments "this feels like how the old hole used to feel."
