Real-time Global Illumination by Precomputed Local Reconstruction from Sparse Radiance Probes [wayback-archive]

• realtime global illumination technique
• using local precomputed data so that no long-range interactions is required between probes and receivers
• receiver depends only on a constant number of nearby probes

Simple Parallel Rendering [wayback-archive]

• high level overview of how to structure object traversal for parrallel rendering

Simple printf functionality for GLSL [wayback-archive]

• easy to use implementation of printf style debugging in GLSL

Vulkan Shader Sample [wayback-archive]

• tutorial about getting vulkan shaders working and implementation of raytracing shadertoy in vulkan

PIX 1709.18.004 [wayback-archive]

• Dr. PIX “Bandwidth” page is now enabled on AMD and Intel
• Access tracking for bindless resources
  • PIX knows what data was read or written via dynamic indexing now
• more performance warnings

Deep Scattering: Rendering Atmospheric Clouds with Radiance-Predicting Neural Networks [wayback-archive]

• use Neural Networks to render clouds in 9 minutes instead of 36 hours

sample visible points of the cloud and, extract a hierarchical 3D descriptor of the cloud geometry with respect to the shading location and the light source. The descriptor is input to a deep neural network that predicts the radiance function for each shading configuration

SEGI - A fully-dynamic voxel-based global illumination system for Unity

• now open source

ShaderGen - GitHub

• proof-of-concept library which generates shader code from C#
• can generate HLSL, GLSL

radeonsi: out-of-order rasterization on VI+ [wayback-archive]

godot 3 renderer design explained [wayback-archive]

• aim is to have a really simple 3D renderer that is powerfull to common user needs
• rendering is seperated from the rest, running in seperate thread
• using a high level abstraction model
• to allow the backends to customize how techniques are implemented
• using a custom shader language
• short description of all passes

CRYENGINE 5.4.0 [wayback-archive]

• terrain system upgrades
• vulkan support
• subtance integration
• and much more
