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...

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 a single leaf takes up on one of threes in the scene, or texture on one of the sign-posts. We get about 1 sample every 30 centimeters in the world space. As a side note: gave my renderer quite the workout, rendering each probe as a separate non-instanced mesh for debugging.

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.

Here is a full showcase of my custom Source 2-like light baking and probe implementation for Unreal Engine 5. Features showcased: - Volume based probe system (full density control, fade between volumes with a volume fade slider, automatic volume priority and custom priority overrides) - GPU Lightmass with expanded features like a custom denoiser and overall QOL (like a bake volume which only bakes objects inside the volume for fast prototyping) - Custom Box Capture implementation to make it easier to use (basically just a custom way of scaling the box capture component since its so annoying) - A custom fullbright viewport option for easier map editing (without having to get visual clutter in the way) Will eventually release on FAB as a plugin for UE 5.7. Everything is running inside an Epic Launcher Downloaded version of UE5 in this showcase. #UnrealEngine5 #UE5 #GameDev

Variable-length compressive tokenization is a promising direction. Not just for efficiency, but for actually learning powerful representations. FlexTok scratched the surface of this direction with images. But real-world data has additional structure that can be tapped, such as the temporal structure of videos. VideoFlexTok develops this concept for video, integrating the original progressive 1D representation with the temporal structure in the data. It leads to interesting emergent properties, such as the disentanglement of motion and semantics, only by virtue of compression. Real-world data has even more structure. I expect to see more from this direction. Check out the webpages and demos of VideoFlexTok ( image FlexTok ( and generation-by-search on such 1D tokens ( There is a lot of insightful interactive material there.

People have been asking to see a clip of me using my BCI. So here's a little clip of me throwing together the simplest of beats with Logic Pro. It's been five years since I have used this software regularly, and frankly I'm out of practice, there have been a lot of updates, and I'm going to need to do a little bit of learning and catch up to be able to use it as effectively as I'd like. But for slapping together a simple sloppy beat for the first time in five years, I like it. Also, I trail off in the middle of the first or second sentence. We're just going to slap... "something sloppy together" is the part that was in my head and I should have said out loud. Love you guys. Thanks for the love. Be good, do good. I'm not anywhere near as good at using the social medias as Audrey Audrey Crews is but maybe someday I'll get there. #Neuralink #BCI #cyberpunk #drumming

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:

Physics-based Motion Retargeting from Sparse Inputs paper page: Avatars are important to create interactive and immersive experiences in virtual worlds. One challenge in animating these characters to mimic a user's motion is that commercial AR/VR products consist only of a headset and controllers, providing very limited sensor data of the user's pose. Another challenge is that an avatar might have a different skeleton structure than a human and the mapping between them is unclear. In this work we address both of these challenges. We introduce a method to retarget motions in real-time from sparse human sensor data to characters of various morphologies. Our method uses reinforcement learning to train a policy to control characters in a physics simulator. We only require human motion capture data for training, without relying on artist-generated animations for each avatar. This allows us to use large motion capture datasets to train general policies that can track unseen users from real and sparse data in real-time. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach on three characters with different skeleton structure: a dinosaur, a mouse-like creature and a human. We show that the avatar poses often match the user surprisingly well, despite having no sensor information of the lower body available. We discuss and ablate the important components in our framework, specifically the kinematic retargeting step, the imitation, contact and action reward as well as our asymmetric actor-critic observations. We further explore the robustness of our method in a variety of settings including unbalancing, dancing and sports motions.

So how is the Sega Dreamcast's very own native port of Mario Kart 64 coming along? Well, lets take a look at some footage I just captured directly from my DC of jnmartin's latest build! Minor texture corruption is still present on some of the sprites here and there, plus there's no audio yet, BUT MY OH MY! She's running like a dream and looks SHARP as hell at with progressive scan at twice the resolution! You'll immediately notice virtually all of the texture corruption on the text and UI sprites have been fixed. You can now actually see your item box, and clouds are drawn properly in the background, rather than over the top of the scene in the foreground. Somehow, along with fixing all of this in the past few days, jnmartin has also found the time to get the monitors in the backgrounds of Luigi's Raceway and Wario Stadium correctly projecting a view of the scene onto their screens. This somewhat-advanced effect (for the time) was actually done on the N64 (in this game) WITHOUT doing a secondary render-to-texture pass, which requires submitting the scene a second time to the GPU. Instead, the framebuffer was divided into small, tiled chunks (1/6 of its total size), with only a single small chunk getting updated per frame. This way, the amount of direct VRAM access from the CPU (which is typically slow as hell) is kept to a minimum within the duration of a particular frame, with multiple frames being required to update the entire screen. But anyway, she's starting to look and play incredibly well, and those of us with early access to the builds have been thoroughly enjoying revisiting this title on our favorite platform!

Why did decide to build on Polkadot ? Here is why - directly from the mouth of Mythical Games’ boss John Linden : ‘We wanted to have all the control and all the security and there is only just 1 or 2 Layer 1s that can offer this - and Polkadot is one of them. In essence, we have our very own L1 , secured by the Polkadot relay chain, which I think is the most secure ! With Polkadot, we have have the best of both worlds, the cost structure is great, the ability to change the rules as the DAO evolves is great! In a nutshell, Gavin Wood is just so far ahead of everybody else right now and we share the same vision: the push for decentralization’ DROPS episode out on Sunday!

Freddy Peralta will start Game 2 of the ALDS on Monday for the Rays He is asked to reflect on his journey from New York to Tampa Bay this season: "I was happy over there. Obviously I wasn't in the spot that I wanted to be with my numbers...but this is baseball. Everything changed when I got traded. I've been treated here as a king, and I feel really good about it. They work on me really well here. For me, and my family, this is a great opportunity to be the pitcher for the second game of the ALDS."

Now that I am home and have access to my files I decided to do a quick test with one of my Vtubing avatars. It works way better with my larger iPad Pro (less crashing/more memory and more screen space) compared to the mini so I did want to bring that up. Importing the file over as GLB was more stable than just OBJ plus it kept the color info from the previous texture. I texture all my avatars on substance painter but have been looking at an alternative when I am out and about that is not on the computer and this actually hits all the right "wants". Adding a quick video of the way the app works for me. I like that it has layers, I can alter my brushes and even add stabilization when I am drawing (which I use that extensively on procreate so that was a huge plus). The stamp tools will come in handy as well but did not show it on this video. The file itself is imported as "one mesh" but each part is treated as their own separate piece which I show in the video. I do the same thing on substance painter making it really easy for me to texture. The app then exports the texture out for each object which is the same way I do so on substance. Overall I am extremely impressed with the work Sparseal has done on this application and see how useful this will be for my current work flow of texturing. I for one love the ability to be "portable" which is a big reason I sculpt so much with Nomad Sculpt on the iPad. Having the freedom to do your work away from a desk and if you feel like doing it outside is probable why I yearn for iPad apps so much like so. Give this app a look, it is free to try on the App Store (It is $19 to be able to export, but a one time buy). It is called "Wafer" for the iPad. I already use CozyBlanket from the same creator to do re topology so I expected this level of fantastic with this current app.

HBM creator Kim Jung-ho reveals his lab's tHBM flipped stack publicly for the first time saying Samsung's zHBM with memory stacked on a hot GPU simply melts and is likely not the right fundamental direction "So the idea is, let's just put the HBM on top of the GPU. Then you never go outside the building, you only ride the elevator, and the speed jumps." "That's the structure Samsung is now proposing as zHBM. The z is, from the x, y, z axes we learned back in school, the vertical direction, so it means stacked in the z direction." "But unfortunately, I don't see that as the fundamental direction, because if you stack HBM on top of the GPU, the GPU gets hot and the memory melts." "So I suspect it's for very simple computation, the kind of use people call an LPU or an NPU. They showed it in passing as a fun technology, and the really important technology doesn't get shown at places like that." "So my lab researches tHBM. I believe today is the first time we're saying this publicly. We flip it, stack the HBM, and put the GPU on top of that."

Tom Campbell: "The planets and the universe only render themselves when people are looking at them. It's like the video game 'No Man's Sky'. We are living in a simulation." Our reality computes on the fly whatever a player sees. Land on a planet and you get animals, shrubs, lakes and land features. Look away and it is no longer computed. Nothing is saved in memory. Only a set of values that can be regenerated if someone looks again. "It only computed what the person saw. As soon as you looked away, it wasn't computed anymore." "There is no tree. There is no forest. If nobody is there and it is not being observed, it is not being rendered." Stars are just little dots of light. They do not have to come from a sun 20 light years away. When the sun comes up or you go to sleep they stop being rendered for you. We are living in a simulation computed by consciousness.

#WATCH | Kannur, Kerala: CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury said, "There's a lot of propaganda going on around the Indian economy saying it is a vibrant economy and that it is growing... This period has been the worst year in terms of livelihood. Unemployment is at an all-time high. The government has been doing a lot of data fudging...Now they have added another kind of employment to their data, which is, unpaid labour, and this is the largest category of employment... As far as industry is concerned, it cannot grow because there's no domestic demand... When there's no demand, there will be no investments and this government's own projections for the coming fiscal year, the proposals for new investments have come down by more than 70% both in private as well as government sector..."

The ice forming here during the landing burn is also interesting to me. This structure is effectively like a raceway running around the base of the booster, for context. Links up each of the 40 junction boxes on the exterior that route commodities to and from each engine and such. There shouldn't be anything venting in the cavity there. We've never seen condensation, especially to the point of ice, form on these surfaces. Yes, it's affected by exterior moisture as you can see it fluctuate as it passes through a cloud here, but the difference is negligible and it only really starts forming as soon as the landing burn begins. If something broke in there...not saying it did but it's an interesting prospect

Congrats to EloShapes.com on their launch! On a similar note, is out of beta and available to the public. A lot of you have been asking me what my plan is now that EloShapes is also doing 3D scans... the answer is: nothing changed! I think that competition is good. I'm a mouse nerd and a LONG TIME EloShapes user, so the more options I get as a user, the better. I really think that my vision and EloShapes, though, is fundamentally different. I've had the domain for FMM for years, I have a much larger platform in mind compared to what I built so far. The 3D scans are the necessary step for my vision, not the end goal: they never were. I am also very proud of the fact that I've been able to scan at least 5 mice in full color EVERY DAY with my own pipeline, and I think I will easily have almost full coverage of the mice people would want on the website within months. Check the video for the mice I've added in just the last few days, all textured. Apart from some of the features I've mentioned before (like the virtual hand/grip), FMM is meant to be kind of a "MyAnimeList" for mice, so that you can share your profile, like this: and then later on leverage this curated list of mice you build for yourself to be shown even more mice you might like. FMM is also a tool for reviewers and anyone that wants to share their opinions on mice. Links like this: allow you to easily share your specific points about a mouse via the annotations, viewpoint sharing and measurements. And of course, as I've said since the beginning, I will use FMM to centralize all my hard testing about sensors, dpi, and such, so that you'll be able to find EVERYTHING about a mouse, including the raw results of my standardized sensor implementation testing. So, with this said, I will keep scanning as many mice as possible and adding as many features as possible until FMM becomes what I envisioned so long ago. Join my discord if you want to keep up! I hope you'll all give it a try! Ciao!

I'm a mouse nerd and a LONG TIME EloShapes user, so the more options I get as a user, the better. I really think that my vision and EloShapes, though, is fundamentally different. I've had the domain for FMM for years, I have a much larger platform in mind compared to what I built so far. The 3D scans are the necessary step for my vision, not the end goal: they never were. I am also very proud of the fact that I've been able to scan at least 5 mice in full color EVERY DAY with my own pipeline, and I think I will easily have almost full coverage of the mice people would want on the website within months. Check the video for the mice I've added in just the last few days, all textured. Apart from some of the features I've mentioned before (like the virtual hand/grip), FMM is meant to be kind of a "MyAnimeList" for mice, so that you can share your profile, like this: and then later on leverage this curated list of mice you build for yourself to be shown even more mice you might like. FMM is also a tool for reviewers and anyone that wants to share their opinions on mice. Links like this: allow you to easily share your specific points about a mouse via the annotations, viewpoint sharing and measurements. And of course, as I've said since the beginning, I will use FMM to centralize all my hard testing about sensors, dpi, and such, so that you'll be able to find EVERYTHING about a mouse, including the raw results of my standardized sensor implementation testing. So, with this said, I will keep scanning as many mice as possible and adding as many features as possible until FMM becomes what I envisioned so long ago. Join my discord if you want to keep up! I hope you'll all give it a try! Ciao!
