I wrote a blog post on my implementation of the Surfel maintenance pipeline from my Surfel Radiance Cascades project. Most of what I learned came from "SIGGRAPH 2021: Global Illumination Based on Surfels" a great presentation from EA SEED :)

It was great to make a tech video that finally has a positive story for PC. But based on the comments under it on YT, you would presume that Dragon Age The Veil Guard might be responsible for some heinous crimes against humanity based on the vitriol there. Many comments...
The AAA norm is to release half broken on PC. Dragon Age: The Veilguard bucks this trend offering a PC-tailored user experience that scales well above the consoles. You will spend your time staring at its slick hair rendering and not at a frame-time graph.

Check out this awesome paper from SEED on how to tailor the frequencies of rendering noise to improve image denoising in real time rendering. The paper is being presented next week at @I3DCONF in Philadelphia ea.com/seed/news/spatio-temp…

Soooo....I resigned at EA a month ago to start something new next week.
I am on my engagement trip with my wonderful fiancee atm and just got word that I was layed off last night before I even started. So I NEED A NEW JOB now like ASAP!!😅
Recently integrated AMD's D3D12 Memory Allocator for a home project and it.... Just Worked^tm. Even for a 32-bit target. Took like 5 mins to integrate. thanks @Reg__ and everyone else working on it.
Latest progress on #rtNFS. Lots of shiny things :-D. Simple path tracer with mis, materials, shadows, transparency/transmission, simple temporal accumulation. Good enough I think to start on night time lighting.

It's time to RIG up.

Found time to work on #rtNFS (my ray traced need for speed hobby project). Got camera and instance transform extraction working. And buffer/texture binding. sm6.6 bindless is so much better than local signatures.
Holiday project: adding ray tracing to NFS: Underground 2. With some help from Reshade and D3D9on12 :-)
I guess I'll start lurking over here now.

Another bucket list track, Spa! :-D. One of my favorite tracks in so many racing games. It's cool to finally be able to drive it in real life :-)
