- the paper presents a method that allows existing non-differentiable rasterizers to be made differentiable
- explains the underlying technique and how to derive per-pixel stochastic gradient estimation
- shows how to use the concepts to implement a 3D assets optimization system

- the article introduces a specialization for the isotropic distribution of visible normals for GGX-Smith
- discusses the limitations and implementation
- source-code for HLSL and GLSL is provided

- a collection of summaries about color science aimed at computer graphics artists
