- collection of Vulkan tutorials for the VK_KHR_ray_tracing extension
- the tutorial starts from a working .obj rendering using rasterization and then integrates raytracing
- additional topics covered are Anti-Aliasing, handling thousands of Objects, Transparency, Reflections, Animation, Callable Shader and Ray Query
- the article shows how Nsight was used for debugging a frame stutter bug in the Vulkan raytracing implementation of Wolfenstein: Youngblood
- the post presents how to use Nsight to apply the Peak-Performance method to determine a performance problem in Wolfenstein: Youngblood (Vulkan)
- shows how to detect being memory-bound and how to reduce the texture memory being access in a hit shader
- this Unity tutorial explains how to implement a burning effect for paper
- this tutorial builds on previous parts of the series
- part 1 of rust graphics programming series using the rust gfx hal
- gfx-hal is a graphics abstraction layer on top of D3D12, Vulkan and metal
- this in-depth tutorial covers everything required from the setup of the application, window, shader, etc. needed to render the first triangle into a window
- the second part of the tutorial series extends the example so that Vulkan push constants can be used to render multiple triangles with varying settings
- settings that can be modified include color, position, and scale
- the article presents a method that allows validation of a physical camera model against ground truth data
- collection of links and graphics community news such as ACM Digitial library being free, I3D posponed, …
- the article shows how to use quadratic interpolation for depth aware upsampling
- the presented use-case presented is volumetric clouds
- the GTC talks provide an overview of Deep Learning Super Sampling
- presents an overview of the challenges for upscaling the results of realtime rendering
- shows a history of existing techniques and compares the qualities of different methods
- includes a section on how to integrate the technique into Unreal Engine 4
- his Unity tutorial shows one way of blending meshes that are close to the terrain with the terrain colors
- the presented approach uses a separate depth texture to record the terrain depth and uses this to calculate the distance of a pixel to the terrain
- the article presents a breakdown of the rendering stages found in the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight
- the game uses a hybrid approach between forward and deferred rendering based on the distance to the camera
- lighting is done in a computer shader using checkerboard pattern with upscaling
- rain is using GPU based particles
- the GTC presentation explains how the technique aims to replace existing indirect lighting techniques
- provides an overview of how the method combines ray tracing, fast irradiance updates, and a moment-based depth scheme to enable realtime GI without baking information offline
- ACM tech talk with Ed Catmull & Richard Chuang happening on Tuesday, April 14
- the paper presents a new technique to speed up the rendering of complex, layered materials
- the model doesn’t rely on any precomputation
- the article presents a method for direct construction of tileable isotropic blue noise
- the technique is based on improved Correlated Shuffling
- A twitter thread that explains what barycentric coordinates are and how they are commonly used in computer graphics to interpolate data
- provides animated graphics to explain the concepts more visually
