- the presentation discusses how to use cluster-based mesh representations to allow transitions between model levels
- shows how to calculate the cluster representations calculate cluster error metrics to allow LOD selection
- additionally, it discusses how to integrate support for skinned meshes
- provides performance numbers for the different stages of the pipeline

- the blog post describes an approach to calculating accurate filtering of polygonal shapes with closed-form solutions
- discusses the underlying theory of the method and implementation

- the blog post announces that Rust GPU (compiling Rust into SPIR-V) will transition from Embark to Community ownership
- a brief overview of the goals and next steps

General Arcade, a porting and co-development studio that has worked with a wide range of clients, from indies to AAA developers and publishers, including Larian, From Software, Capcom, Devolver Digital, TinyBuild, and others, is seeking a Software Engineer with a rendering emphasis.
This is a great opportunity to work with a passionate engineering team on cutting-edge industry technologies.

- the article discusses a closed-form solution for polar and singular value decomposition of 3x3 matrixes
- based on findings from “Isotropic ARAP energy using Cauchy-Green invariants”
- contains the source code implementation
- additionally, it discusses how to improve numerical stability

- the presentation covers the current state of OpenPBR and the state of integration into MaterialX
- updates on the state of support in tools
- additionally provides a look at the upcoming developments

- the talk provides an overview of the D3D12 work graph API
- provides details into how the API is mapped onto AMD hardware

- the post provides an explanation of Microfacet Models
- shows how the reflections are affected by the surface and the view directions
- presents how this explains the look of reflections on water surfaces as they approach the horizon
