- database with articles that were previously covered in Graphics Programming Weekly
- central location that aims to make it easier to discover/rediscover graphics programming information

- open source release of the Basis Universal texture codec
- similar compression as .jpeg but allows textures to stay compressed on the GPU
- transcode from a common format into compressed GPU formats at runtime

- collection of VFX tweets of the week
- tutorials, demos, and showcases of great looking effects

- providing path tracing theory, an overview of implementation (Vulkan)
- presents the theory behind ambient occlusion
- comparison for performance and quality with existing real-time techniques

- proposed antialiasing technique combines rasterization with ray tracing
- uses ray tracing to collect extra samples when information from previous frames is not available
- run FXAA on the fast moving parts on the edges of the screen to reduce cost
- Microsoft GDC 2019 presentation about variable rate shading (VRS)
