- the article presents a walkthrough of the process that leads to the blender obj exporting being sped up by 10x
- shows how to use the Superluminal profiler to spot the problems and iteratively improve the exporter
- the article provides an overview of how SIMD execution models evolved over GPU generations
- presenting how the changes in architecture affect the way shaders would be authored to provide better performance mapping onto the hardware
- defines the standard terms such as swizzling/component masking and wave operations
- the article provides an overview of the state of 16-bit floating-point support in drivers, compilers tools, and hardware
- discusses how to take advantage of the hardware feature
- shows effects and tradeoffs to consider when moving shaders to use 16-bit floats
- the article discusses more noise distributions functions, presents grid-based noise definitions based on pixel positions alone
- shows the derivation of the noise function
- compares the function against White, Blue, Bayer, and more noise functions
- presents strengths and weaknesses of the distribution
- the article presents why direct lighting computation should be separated from emitted light
- an approach to separate light emitters from other objects without tracking additional ray logic booleans is presented in the comments
You are helping our core team to develop cutting-edge 3D data optimization technology, being used in production pipelines to process millions of 3D data sets each year, fully-automatically. You are performing research on 3D mesh processing, texture baking, UV mapping, optimization algorithms and ML-based algorithms for 3D data optimization and QA.
