Graphics Programming weekly - Issue 394 - June 9th, 2025 jendrikillner.com/post/graphics-…

was looking for some slides, then stumbled upon this interesting repo/file: GPU Optimization for GameDev (md format) gist.github.com/silvesthu/505c…

I have a new article! It took a long time but I think it was worth it, hopefully you'll enjoy it too. elopezr.com/the-art-of-pac… Many thanks to Vassilis Poulopoulos, Oguzhan Karakaya and Angel Ortiz for the help and encouragement

“Ray tracing freed artists from many of those constraints.” In this article from GameSpot, Ubisoft Technical Architect Nicolas Lopez describes how switching from a baked to dynamic lighting system allowed the team behind Assassin’s Creed Shadows to create high-fidelity,

I think this is an important paper highlighting how slow virtual/sparse textures are. Anyone using them in production and can confirm they are not that bad? hal.science/hal-05138369

At SIGGRAPH 2025, Intel, Disney, and Chaos are doing a course on the nitty gritty details of implementing path guiding methods in 3 production renderers: Cycles, Hyperion, and Corona. I helped write the course notes: 80 pages of great stuff! Coming soon. s2025.conference-schedule.org/presentation/?…

You can now watch Chris Wyman's keynote "ReSTIR: Traveling the Path of Reuse" youtu.be/MRg91ZB1wU8 #I3D2025

Really cool approach for low cost stochastic local lights. My one question though: How are the point light shadows rendered into octahedral space? Jarkko Lempiäinen Sebastian Aaltonen linkedin.com/pulse/local-li…

I’ll be attending Siggraph this year. If you wish to meet and discuss graphics, hit me up! Moreover the Anvil team will be giving a talk at the Advances in Real Time Graphics Course!
