Here's an update on my small-voxel renderer, inspired by the look of games like Doom and Quake. The work I shared last year focused on handling simpler environment geometry. Since then, I've greatly expanded the scope of what I can depict in this art style. More info in thread.

A cloud rendered using jackknife transmittance estimation and the formula used to do so.

Ray marching is a common approach to GPU-accelerated volume rendering, but gives biased transmittance estimates. My new #SIGGRAPHAsia paper (+code) proposes an amazingly simple formula to eliminate this bias almost completely without using more samples.

🎄 Introducing our paper A Generalizable Light Transport 3D Embedding for Global Illumination lnkd.in/gQUMSAyV .
🙈 Just as Transformers learn long-range relationships between words or pixels, our new paper shows they can also learn how light interacts and bounces around a 3D scene.

I finally found the time and energy to make a new blog and write a couple of posts. This time I wrote about PBR content and game development principles. Both posts are quite different so hopefully people find something interesting on either one of them.

Drew Struzan’s poster of Pan’s Labyrinth

Drew Struzan’s poster of Blade Runner

Drew Struzan’s poster of Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom

Just heard Drew Struzan passed away 😞 His incredible work has given me and countless others so much awe, joy and inspiration!

I had posters of his work as a teen, I began using color pencils because I thought he used them too. Always inspired by him. Just utterly heart broken.

RIP Drew Struzan.

Autodesk VRED 2026: How Autodesk revolutionized visualization with Vulkan

Autodesk VRED 2026 has introduced new Vulkan renderer alongside the traditional OpenGL real-time pipeline, addressing fundamental limitations while introducing hybrid ray tracing capabilities that significantly enhance visual quality in real-time scenarios on […]

Mesh shaders produce things per workgroup, not per thread. Key difference to geometry shader and why they are more GPU friendly. Some vendors have flexible writing of the outputs (think shared memory) across threads in workgroup, others want thread N to write output N.

Nice work. Mesh shaders are also quite sensitive to the vertex exports. Though both vertex and mesh shaders can benefit of using hw barycentrics and pull vertex data in fragment shader, in case one has mostly tiny triangles.
