Bret "Hit Man" Hart helping out the WWE game programmers back in the day...
Our paper on learning reusable skill embeddings for simulated characters has been accepted into #SIGGRAPH2022! Paper: nv-tlabs.github.io/ASE/ Thanks to all my collaborators: Kelly Guo, Lina Halper, @svlevine, @FidlerSanja, and all the folks at NVIDIA
I have blogged quite a lot about low rank representations and SVD for graphics. But this new paper blows my mind: apchenstu.github.io/TensoRF/ Low rank radiance fields- decomposing voxel grids to low rank tensors and optimizing them directly for state of the art results+fast training.
My slides from 'Radiance Caching for real-time Global Illumination' are now available. I put a ton of work into Lumen's Final Gather and the presentation, I think this represents my best work. advances.realtimerendering.com/s2021/index.ht…
Our presentation is now available advances.realtimerendering.com/s2021/index.ht… #rtradvances
This year we're cooking up something new for @siggraph with @stevemcauley @kenpex and Michael Vance from Activision - organizing a brand new (hopefully) series of courses on Rendering Engine Architecture in Games - …inearchitecture.realtimerendering.com
@siggraph Advances in Real-Time Rendering in Games course line up here: advances.realtimerendering.com/s2021/index.ht… - awesome program this year, themes of efficient upscaling, handling dense geometry, RTGI and large-scale worlds lighting, to name a few.
We are excited to share our @siggraph 2021 paper on "A Non-Exponential Transmittance Model for Volumetric Scene Representations" (with @DelioVicini and @wenzeljakob). This project makes an important step forward in representing arbitrary 3D scenes as volumes. (1/4)
Started a new job today. I get to work with some Epic people... @EpicGames
After 8 fun years, tomorrow is my last day at Avalanche (@AvalancheSweden). I can't say enough good things about the people I met across the studios. It has been a great run, but it is time for me to try something new. To all Avalanchers, I salute you! i.imgur.com/6Q0yicC.gif
At SIGGRAPH 2021 we will present a new skinning technique for real-time graphics and games. Developed at @seed by @binhhle @keven_v @cgonzoo this approach enables complex realistic effects like skin sliding, often found in CG films, with an easy setup and in real-time! 🎉

Hey Graphics and GameDev Twitter. If you were downloading some free software from an IHV to do some profiling and it required you to opt into phone-home/Google Analytics to install the application, would you still install it? (Or are you allowed to install it on work hardware?)

What's happened to the Sun? There are millions of tiny lenses: ice crystals. Water may freeze in the atmosphere into small, flat, six-sided, ice crystals: a bright 22° halo and a much fainter 46° halo [source, by Håkan Hammar + read more: go.nasa.gov/2CjV9Wu]
