Super happy to see that our neural texture compression technology is appreciated by the community!

[Access The Animus @AccessTheAnimus]

Ubisoft has shared a tech-related article on the so-called Neural Texture Compression that was used in Assassin's Creed Mirage

The technique uses machine learning to enable higher texture compression without sacrificing visual quality

@Auzaiffe Thanks for the sharing! It's nice to see BC Neural Textures showcasing the power of cooperative vectors!

I just presented our paper about texture compression in a real-time video game context at #Eurographics2024. https://t.co/SN4624UveE

Last day at #GDC2024!

[Antoine Houdard @AntoineHou]

I'm in San Francisco attenting #GDC2024, if you are there, don't miss our talk (with @gnader90) on Monday March 18th at 9:30am in Room 2010, West Hall at the Moscone Center @Official_GDC @LifeatUbisoft @UbisoftLaForge

[Antoine Houdard @AntoineHou]

@DamiDina @UbisoftLaForge No, but you can have a look to our research paper "Real-Time Neural Materials using Block-Compressed Features" https://t.co/bpaC9uMNl0

[Antoine Houdard @AntoineHou]

I'll be at GDC this year! Presenting a new neural texture compression method👀developped at @UbisoftLaForge

[Antoine Houdard @AntoineHou]

@zianwang97 Amazing! How does the storage/memory cost scales with the complexity of the scene/model?

[Antoine Houdard @AntoineHou]

Je propose également un second stage de recherche (M2) de 6 mois pour étudier les représentation implicites pour le rendu neuronale sur des surfaces. https://t.co/NqUN2zonN3
Venez travailler avec moi à Ubisoft Bordeaux ! @UbisoftFR @UbisoftLaForge

[Antoine Houdard @AntoineHou]

Je propose un stage de recherche (M2) sur le Neural Rendering, notamment le rendu d'apparence en temps réel à Ubisoft La Forge (Bordeaux). https://t.co/dohajfhOJM @UbisoftFR @UbisoftLaForge

[Antoine Houdard @AntoineHou]

Je serai aux Journées Françaises de l'Informatique Graphique (https://t.co/3JEOPpTLD3) du 7 au 9 novembre 2023. N'hésitez pas à venir me rencontrer pour parler rendu neuronal et recherche dans le jeu vidéo !

@Eurosport_FR @tonygallopin Comment on encadre des lunettes ?🤔

📢Mon équipe chez @Ubisoft recrute un stagiaire ingénieur pour un PFE de 6 mois pour expérimenter sur de l'automatisation de tests dans le game streaming mobile.

Point bonus : vous aurez régulièrement l'occasion de m'entendre radoter sur l'input lag.

@ICCVConference Like our previous approach [JPMAP](https://t.co/9EGSQglsyL), PnP-HVAE is a bi-convex alternate optimization algorithm, but the framework is generalized to work with a much more expressive Hierarchical VAE.

Our paper, which gives a sufficient condition for the existence of a stochastic gradient formula for Optimal Transport, has been published in TMLR!

(Spoiler: condition proposed in Arjovsky's WGAN paper is not sufficient!)

[Antoine Houdard @AntoineHou]

Jean Prost's paper "Inverse problem regularization with hierarchical variational autoencoders" https://t.co/GjKz6r8RB0 has been accepted at @ICCVConference !

[Assassin's Creed FR @AssassinsFR]

Assassin's Creed Mirage est passé GOLD et sortira une semaine plus tôt ! 📀

Au nom de toute l'équipe, nous avons hâte que vous exploriez Bagdad au IXème siècle avec Basim.

Votre voyage commencera désormais le 5 octobre !
