Happy New Years! 2026 is made happier by the ACM finally transitioning (at long last) to Open Access: acm.org/publications/o…

Happy New Year 🎆!
All papers on the ACM digital library (dl.acm.org) are free to download now 🎉. No more paywalls. That includes most of my publications (which were already available at momentsingraphics.de).
Association for Computing Machinery@TheOfficialACM
Happy New Year! As of January 1, 2026, all ACM publications and related artifacts in the ACM Digital Library are now open access, making computing research more accessible, discoverable, and reusable worldwide. “This is a truly monumental milestone,” said ACM President Yannis Ioannidis, marking a new era for the global computing community.

The inventor of Radiance Cascades is working on a sparse world-space implementation. Awesome to see his developments:

"Content-Aware Texturing for Gaussian Splatting"
TL;DR: Texturing instead of millions of Gaussians for fine details; fixed texel size

It’s on sale folks, can you dig it?

The Tomorrow Children is ridiculously cheap in the Black Friday sale - if you have a PS5 (or PS4) go grab it for less than the price of a decent cup of coffee! Games that use fully custom 3d engines need to be supported! (please)

@dylancuthbert @guitio2002 @lisyarus Ah, cool. Yeah, I'd seen that it had an SDF based solution. But I hadn't realised that it had a cone traced one too. Neat :-)
English
@selfresonating @guitio2002 @lisyarus Btw did you see that godot has Voxel Cone GI? It works really well, not as advanced as our stuff but I’m glad to see another engine using the technique
English
I just had a realization: I accumulate irradiance in spherical harmonics, so I already have approx directional importance. I can use a temp reservoir to select random rays weighted by SH evaluation and use that for importance sampling.
Is it stupid idea or am I onto something?
Nikita Lisitsa@lisyarus
Fine, let's try a new ray guiding idea: store 8 directional weights (1 per octahedron face) in each probe, and use them to guide random ray generation. Here's what the "best random ray direction" looks like once the weights more or less converge:
English
@guitio2002 @lisyarus Yeah, but if you have some world space probes as back up then they can also be used to guide your sampling in the case of disocclusion. It's not as good a guide as whatever you'd accumulate on the surface, but hopefully it's already converged to something useful.
English
@lisyarus That’s what Lumen does afaik and what we did in “GI-1.0”: gpuopen.com/download/GPUOp… I’d say the issue in a real-time scenario is the delay; your probes (or whatever you use) will only yield good results after enough frames have elapsed. So disocclusions can be quite artefact-y.

My second blog post on spectral rendering is out. This one explains how to use wavelength importance sampling to minimize color noise while limiting the overhead to 0.3 ms and how to make BRDFs spectral.

Bitwise shared a custom real-time voxel destruction system called BoxCutter, built for dynamic and performant destruction effects, with a public demo available. 💥
