Graphical, textual ramblings of a coder. Sunday, April 29, 2012. First off I'm sorry that I haven't updated this blog in so long.

If you follow me on twitter ( @BrianKaris. There has been a lot of talk and excitement recently concerning tiled deferred [1][2] and tiled forward [3] rendering. Sphere = frac{r 2}{d 2}$. Disk = frac{r 2}{r 2 d 2}$.

Graphical, textual ramblings of a coder. Sunday, January 30, 2011. Irradiance volumes using volume textures is a technique that has been getting some use lately. Check out the following for some places I've noticed it. Cascaded Light Propagation Volumes). Presentations on the topic. All the same limitations apply in 3d as they do in 2d. Pages will need borders to have proper filtering. The smaller the page size the more waste due to borders and the larger the page table gets. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Graphic Rants: Tone mapping
http://graphicrants.blogspot.com/2013/12/tone-mapping.html
Graphical, textual ramblings of a coder. Sunday, December 15, 2013. When working with HDR values, two troublesome situations often arise. The first happens when one tries to encode an HDR color using an encoding that has a limited range, for instance RGBM. Values outside the range still need to be handled gracefully, ie not clipped. The second happens when an HDR signal is under sampled. One very bright sample can completely dominate the result. In path tracing these are commonly called fireflies. This o...

http://graphicrants.blogspot.com/2014/03/ue4-available-to-all.html
Graphical, textual ramblings of a coder. Saturday, March 29, 2014. UE4 available to all. The big news from Epic at GDC this year was that Unreal Engine 4 is now available to everyone for only $19/month 5% royalties. There's been a lot said already about why this is cool, opinions, comparisons to competitors and so forth. From a business model point of view I feel it has been covered better than I could possibly say. If you are interested check out Mark Rein's post. Let me explain why. With the UE4 subscr...

Graphical, textual ramblings of a coder. Sunday, January 3, 2010. I am a big fan of this capcom presentation! Especially concerning their motion and DoF blur methods). I really like your posts and your investigation on RGBM and RGBD. Concerning the accumulation problem, lets propose a new shader: the blend shader! January 3, 2010 at 5:16 PM. January 3, 2010 at 5:47 PM. Thats one nice thing about LRB, it has programmable blending (see the Siggraph09 Beyond Programmable Shading course). Oh and good post!
