I try to make colours with maths

Getting back into my volumetric renderer project.

@JKoukourakis Looking really good!!! 👍

Finally got around to implementing async scene loading in my engine. DX12 async compute for BLAS + background threads for bvh command list and resource loading. A lot of pain with synchronizing all of this and the ability to delete objects during loading

wave_tracer 0.1 released.
https://t.co/kGfGFILe9D

wave_tracer combines path tracing and wave optics in a novel way, for practical general-purpose wave simulations across a variety of EM modalities and applications.

This is an early alpha release.

My lab will be recruiting at all levels. PhD students, postdocs, and a research engineering position (worldwide for PhD/postdoc, EU candidates only for the engineering position). If you're at SIGGRAPH, I'd love to talk to you if you are interested in any of these.

Check out the #Houdini 21 sneak peek! We’re sharing a preview of some of the new features. More will be revealed at SIGGRAPH 2025 in Vancouver—don’t miss the Keynote, HIVE presentations, and more starting the week of August 11.

@LuThecoder Beautiful. Will follow ! 🤙

[Karkinos Krakatoa @hecatonchries]

@maxliani @yiningkarlli Wrote an interesting blog regarding his port from Windows to ARM. Was thinking something similar. But I know writing these things is a lot of work! I just enjoy reading/learning about your process that’s all. 👍 https://t.co/EnY0QBTrwA

@JKoukourakis Engine is coming along nicely ! Great progress so far 👍👍

[Karkinos Krakatoa @hecatonchries]

@chiu_hans Ah ! I see. My bad. 😅. Well the last I checked Cycles was RGB. So if it looks this good here, I’m guessing it would look even better in a spectral renderer ! I’m a big fan of your work 👌

[Hadi Karimi @HadiKarimi_Art]

JFK files were declassified today and they found photorealistic renders of him made in ZBrush, Maya, and rendered with Arnold 😱

Andrej Karpathy’s bombshells on how to learn:
> learning is not supposed to be fun
> don’t hallucinate of learning
> learn on-demand, depth-wise
> teach what you learn to others
> compare yourself to you, not others

[Karkinos Krakatoa @hecatonchries]

@lisyarus Very simple. What UI tool are you using or is it from scratch?

@lisyarus On my phone before clicking the picture, it looked like an actual photo. Great lighting! 👌

@j_bikker Didn’t know you were a fan of the base game! 👌
