Optimized Wireframe Rendering: Part III Detailed technical breakdown of precision pitfalls, clipping logic, and geometry shader implementation for high-quality wireframe rendering.

Finished documenting work on optimized wireframe rendering: precision, clipping & math details for stable, performant edges in OpenGL.

Includes an analysis of NVIDIA’s wireframe paper & fixes its issues.

If we do spatial queries in R^3, should we call the data structure kd-tree, 3d-tree, or just be honest about it and call it sorted pointcloud?

Well, @ericbrachmann.bsky.social did release a hot new paper

Assume that you have a "cone" represented by normal n and cos(θ), where θ is the half angle, how do you compute the intersection of the two without involving acos?
I'm actually mostly interested in the binary classification (interesects / doesn't intersect)

A comparison figure from recent 2025 paper on 3D reconstruction with neural nets. All results are flat shaded pointclouds.

A comparison figure from 2016 paper on 3D reconstruction using RGB-D. This one applies fusion and renders nice meshes

Prove me wrong: For all the 3R papers, there is no reason for not running a fusion over your results. The figures would be way more readable, and misalignment more obvious. The fuzziness of point-clouds hides it.

We have the technology!

New blog post! In "Billions of triangles in minutes" we'll walk through hierarchical cluster level of detail generation of, well, billions of triangles in minutes. Reposts welcome!

Love that t-shirt!!!

Project is great too, but man, that t-shirt is nice.

Six submissions, but five papers in the thumbnail. I see you're really trying to drive up the traffic to your group's website ;)

Is that rendered through eevee or cycles?

Stochastic transparency?

Really looking forward to people starting to up the energy of their 3D reconstruction paper titles.

These guys had it figured out, i'd skip the question mark tho.

A banger paper from @dcremers.bsky.social group!

Great to see that focusing on strong two-view prediction, coupled with classical back-end optimization can lead to SOTA results!

Also, you don't need 80GB GPU for inference ;)

Screenshot of a desmos graphing calculator showing Barron's generalized robust function

Not sure if useful for anybody, but I wanted a resource that lists different robust functions, their derivatives and IRLS weights in one place. So, here is a desmos workspace that does just that:

May I interest you in some fl. oz.?

Kinda struggling with all the Dust3R / VGGT followups.
How much is the improvement due to any proposed architectural changes, and how much is it just training for a longer time?

Listening to @gameengineering.bsky.social recently, and I’m wondering how much the brilliance of places like looking glass, lionhead, mm, and rad was a function of culture, or whether they were just smarter than everybody else…

A snippet of the blog post, showing a short explanation of derivatives, as well as a graph of a quadratic function, and a graph of its derivative.

Derivatives, Gradients, Jacobians and Hessians – Oh My!
New mathy blog post to try and make some scary sounding terms less scary.

Awesome stuff! Congrats!!

Fair enough fair enough. Gotta try it

except when it's multi-threading, then you can't

Worth watching presentation, also provides some background info on how ReSTIR came to be and where it is heading: "ReSTIR: Traveling the Path of Reuse" www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRg9...

IMHO it is really hard to have a clear api for all the cases, so it is more up to the programmer to know what sort of transformations they have and what data is necessary for efficient inverses
