Working on sparse volumetric light maps for WebGPU. Got generation part sorted. The resolution is adaptive, refining near geometry and skipping through most of the empty space. The video is question uses a map that's only 10MB in size, including everything. That's less the amount of GPU memory that... show more

This is and example of a 3D map working in the GPU Canvas in Rive. The mesh uses an artboard as a texture with the map and zone interactions. The labels and icons are projected over the map.

Working on Sparse Volumetric Light-maps. Thanks to CynicatPro🎃 for pointing me at Unreal's version. In a nutshell it's just another sparse voxel data structure. My implementation is, no doubt, different from Epic Games Store's own. I'm using 4x4x4 probe grid with intermediate nodes having very wide branching factor of 64 as well (4x4x4). I liked the parameters that Unreal is using, of limiting both total memory as well as the lowest level of detail, which is common in sparse grid implementations. Here's Bistro scene with just 1Mb limit. This is roughly equivalent to a 512x512 lightmap texture in 2d, except surface light maps require unique UVs and you typically get very little detail out of 512 resolution texture with a lot of light leaking. There is also no directional response. My implementation encodes second-order spherical harmonics for each probe (9 coefficients), encoding RGB channels as RGBE9995 (4 bytes). So far only worked on the structure, actual bake is yet to come. I've been eyeing sparse voxel structures for a while now, and have been studying them roughly since the GigaVoxel paper by Cyril Crassin but never really implemented anything for the GPU before. I was always the BVH-kind of guy. It's a fascinating topic. --- Stats for the scene: --- Total memory usage: 1.000 MB Node count: 609 Unique probe count: 24,025 Probe reuse: 38.36 % Unexpanded nodes: 15,714 --- Again, note that there is no GI going on here, only the structure of the probe tree and the algorithm for building it from a given scene.

1 million unique objects in WebGPU. It appears to be the fashion to show off limits of one's engine. So here's "Shade" - my WebGPU engine running in the browser, rendering 1,000,000 unique meshes. That is - no instancing, and every mesh has a unique material, geometry and transform. We have full cascaded shadows here in the mix and post-processing stack. "Surely you can't have 1M instances, there's a trick, right?" - Nope. No tricks, just the state-of-the art Vizibility Buffer-based GPU-resident renderer. That is - on the CPU side we submit a fixed number of draw calls regardless of how many instances we have.

Chaos and the double pendulum: the configuration space of the double pendulum is a torus (a circle for each angle coordinate) so we can plot the evolution of such a pendulum in two ways: either as a "real pendulum" in physical space, or as a point in configuration space :)

Sparse Volumetric Light maps (WebGPU). Worked on ensuring C0 continuity across the entire map. For now this is achieved by purging incomplete node levels, works well enough even if it's a bit of a blunt tool. Actual locations for probes during the bake are now going through an optimization phase, which allows me to push probes behind surfaces out into the open resulting in much fewer light leakage artifacts. This video here has only 28,376 probes in the map, and takes 1.8Mb of VRAM

Was working on CSM (Cascaded Shadow Maps) blending. My CSM implementation is a little unusual, I switch cascades as late as possible, using the highest available resolution cascade. Most CSM implementations choose cascades based on view depth, the problem with that is - you waste a lot of high resolution shadow texels, in my experience easily upwards of 50%. I figure - GPU already spent the effort to compute those shadow texels - why not use them, and get perceptually about 20-50% resolution increase in your shadows. This is not new, and MJP showed this in his code too (see below). The problem is in blending, if you use cascade projection matrix for choosing a cascade - blending becomes non-trivial. So I spent a lot of time working on that, and finally cracked it. Video shows blending of 5 cascades, the blend margin is exaggerated for demonstration purposes and cascades are pushed to the near plane for the same reason. The result is a perfect forward-only blend at the cost of a bit of ALU. Matt Pettineo is pretty much an authority on the subject nowadays, and I found his amazing repo very useful in the past:

Virtual Textures in the Browser. This is a WebGL 2.0 implementation I did in 2023. The car model is from Sketchfab by Pavel Matoušek. It's a worst-case for virtual textures because the texture is generated from photogrametry software and has pathologically bad UV layout. The texture is 16,384 x 16,384 pixels, which is 180 Mb of PNG data. Loading this in Blender would crash Blender for me back then. The GPU memory requirement for this texture is 1 Gb. The VT displays the model after loading just 34 Kb (one tile). The other tiles are fetched in via a smart priority queue in the background as you move camera around the scene. The physical page texture is 2k, which is 16 times smaller than the source. The solution supports multiple separate virtual textures, and has GLTF integration. Texture filtering as well as anisotropy are fully supported as well. You can try the demo yourself here: Here's a writeup I did while working on this: The video recorded on a very crummy internet connection and I intentionally reload the page in the middle. The delay comes from the geometry download, actual texture part is near-instant.

Heinz Hopf discovered this in 1931. Roger Penrose called it "an element of the architecture of our world." Eric Weinstein brought it up on Joe Rogan - and the silence in the room said everything. The Hopf fibration maps a 4D hypersphere onto a regular sphere using circles that never intersect but each links through every other exactly once. It shows up in at least 8 areas of physics - including the Bloch sphere geometry that every qubit in a quantum computer lives on. 6 minutes. Bookmark & watch today. The most important shape nobody talks about.

[SIGGRAPH '25] TeGA: Texture Space Gaussian Avatars for High-Resolution Dynamic Head Modeling Note: On the left that's a 3DGS rendering! Contributions: 1. We propose a simple approach for rigging 3D Gaussians within the continuous tangent space of 3DMM face models, allowing Gaussians to move freely across mesh triangles. 2. We propose a novel CNN-based deformation model that is agnostic to the number of 3D Gaussians, naturally enabling adaptively densification of the representation to improve detail where most needed, with expression-dependent shading. 3. We show significant improvements over baseline SOTA methods and demonstrate the ability to render even extreme close-up images at high quality.

The redemption that's possible through God is one of the most amazing things in this life. He has a plan for each and every one of us, and I've been lucky enough to see the most important people in my life benefit from his grace.

Hannatu: The fact that there is no arena that produces Afrobeats is quite a shame. That there is only one 5-star hotel in the capital of Nigeria, Abuja, the Hilltop Hotel, is also quite a shame. Abuja should have 5 or 6 world-class hotels, and we are working on about 3 of them in Abuja and 2 in Lagos.

“That's reassuring as a shooter, the fans believing that every shot you're shooting is going in.” Kon Knueppel talked about the energy of the Charlotte crowd every time he touches the ball, fresh off of setting the Hornets single-season record for threes!

🚨 NOW: President Trump takes huge VICTORY LAP on the success of Space Force — which some Democrats MOCKED Space Force is now vastly improving the accuracy of our weapons on the ground. And we're leading China and Russia, easily 🔥 "I'm very proud of the Space Force because that was a branch that a new one that came up, and we were losing to Russia and to China in space." "Space Force is now leading the other countries, China, Russia, and there is no fourth, really, and leading them by, we saw numbers the other day, leading, we're leading in space by so much it's, we're never going to be caught. So I'm very proud of Space Force!" "I think it's going to be one of our most important as time goes by. A lot of the things that you see, a lot of the accuracy of the weapons is caused because of what we created with Space Force, so we're very proud of that."
