- the blog post announces USD integration into the AMD RenderStudio
- presents how the system allows real-time collaboration between different authoring tools (Maya, Blender, Houdini, RenderStudio)
- additionally also supports MaterialX into the renderers

- the presentation provides an overview of bitmasks and their uses in rendering
- It covers many applications for the technique (rasterization, font rendering, culling, global illumination, raytracing, etc.)
- explores the properties and how they are a fantastic fit for GPU programmability and machine learning

- the video provides an excellent and detailed overview of the dot product
- shows how the product is defined in algebraic notation as well as geometric interpretation
- explains relationships and properties with visual explanations
- additionally provides practical examples of how to use the different properties and operations introduced in the video

- the article presents the issues when creating a color gradient from sRGB and linear color spaces
- introduces how the OkLab color space is designed to be perceptually linear and allows smoother gradients
- provides code for the color space conversion
