Interesting presentation about neural materials.
They combine a classic microfacet model with a NN for error correction. I prefer this idea over NVidia's brute-force method, it's lighter and more scalable.

🚀 New Tutorial Just Dropped!
What up what up! I just took @Ubisoft new CHORD model for a spin inside @ComfyUI and this thing is dope. Being able to generate AAA‑quality PBR materials locally opens up so many possibilities.

In case you are interested in more info on the Neural Texture Compression used in Assassin's Creed Mirage, Ubisoft held a GDC presentation on the matter at GDC 2024.

The presentation was oriented towards the tech in general, but also used Mirage as a tech demo.

BC圧縮される前提でトレーニング
えらいなー

the training process explicitly models BC compression (fig. 2). BC decoding is simulated directly within the training graph.

Very cool. Apparently, Assassin's Creed Mirage uses a neural texture compression technique developed by Ubisoft. According to Ubisoft, this enables "higher effective compression (about 30% in Assassin’s Creed Mirage) without sacrificing visual quality."
