I just realized I haven't posted here since 2018. There is generally less sharing of information happening now compared to let's say 10 years ago and I seem to have become one of the people who shares less. In my defense, I can bring up goo…

Thanks for your opinion! When I read it I thought: Wow, I could‘t formulate my concerns any better! With all the hype around ray tracing we really don‘t need a black box API that hides the acceleration structures from the user. I wrote a pa…
This is a great write-up on this technique, thank you for sharing!For decals, you can also bin the decals (in tiles, clusters, or some other data structure) and apply them during your shading pass in the same way you would apply lights. Doi…
For the last 20 years we've been living in a Rec.709 world where RGB "just works". You take a picture on your cellphone, move it to your PC, cast it to your TV screen and it just works. That's because all of those devices have been Rec.709
Rats! I will be covering the Qualcomm Adreno Graphics Tools booth from 2-6 on Wed and won't be able to see your talk. I can send you the slide deck and then we can talk about it and geek out :-) Looking forward to your presentation. If you
Activision's head demo uses TressFX as well: "Digital Ira: High-Resolution Facial Performance Playback". If you are a registered developer and you need XBOX One or PS4 implementations, send me an e-mail. http://blog.selfshadow.com/publicati…
Please note that this overview has nothing to do with the way the hardware works. It is just a diagram that shows the data flow and the usage of the Direct3D 10 API to stream the data through several logical stages that might be represented…
wow goodbut i have a question.i'm a D3D 10 beginner..this pic show that "stencil test(runs before pixel shader)"i don't know why runs before pixel shaderbecause stencil test is located in output merger (after pixel shader)i'm not good at en…

The Killzone 2 team came up with an interesting way to use MSAA on the PS3. You can find it on page 39 of the following slides: http://www.dimension3.sk/mambo/Articles/Deferred-Rendering-In-Killzone/View-category.php What they do is read bo…
float r = pow(pow(fabs(cos(m * o / 4)) / a, n2) + pow(fabs(sin(m * o / 4)) / b, n3), 1 / n1); The result of this calculation is in polar coordinates. Please note the difference between the equation and the C code. The equation has a negativ…
