I'm excited to share our #SIGGRAPH2024 paper on unifying stochastic representations for light transport: cs.dartmouth.edu/~wjarosz/publi… We show how to use stochastic implicit surfaces to describe microfacet surfaces and participating media (and a bunch of new things in between).

I'm proud to announce our #SIGGRAPH24 paper on #RealTime #Hair #Rendering that offers orders of magnitude reduction in storage and render time using Hair Meshes. Project Page: cemyuksel.com/research/hairm… High-quality hair will no longer be too expensive for #VideoGames!

I'll be at SIGGRAPH next week, let me know if you want to meet up and chat, my DMs are open!

It's very reassuring when the pilot tells everyone "we just had to turn off the aircraft and turn it back on again, it'll be another 10 minutes"...

The release of a new open-source data set, features the map Caldera from Call of Duty: Warzone for non-commercial use. This data set release contains near-complete geometry of Caldera and in-game character pathing. Read more 👇 bit.ly/3yhV8Ax

The talk from Michał Iwanicki from Activision Central Tech on Neural Light Grid: Modernizing Irradiance Volumes with Machine Learning is online - check out its insights as well as learnings on ML in rendering at runtime #rtradvances ACM SIGGRAPH 2024 tinyurl.com/advances24-nlg

Signed distance functions (SDFs) are an important surface representation, which can be directly visualized via the “sphere tracing” algorithm. At #SIGGRAPH2024 we showed how to sphere trace a whole new class of surfaces, based on *harmonic functions* rather than SDFs. [1/n]

When you study statistics, people just start talking at you like you're supposed to understand the difference between "probability" and "likelihood." If you're confused, you're not alone: these words have an *identical* meaning in English—but an important distinction in math.

Want to come up with (neural) graphics techniques for the next generation of mixed reality and AR? My team at Reality Labs at Meta Research is hiring research scientists! metacareers.com/jobs/521058304…

We're also hiring PhD interns for next summer/fall: metacareers.com/jobs/440476391…

We have opened applications for a few additional research scientist intern positions next summer: metacareers.com/jobs/440476391… I'm specifically looking for someone with a strong graphics background who is also familiar with diffusion models!

Morw test to more fine-tune the ClayPencil tool, to convert Grease Pencil animations into 3D characters in real time. This time using a reference from the lovely @pedroalpera #Blender #B3D #ClayPencil #GreasePencil #stopmotion #2D #2danimation

The ultimate LOD method
