@yiningkarlli I say "Hello" each time I start a conversation :D

Out of curiosity, how polite do you try to be to ChatGPT or Gemini or whatever when you use it? I don’t believe at all that LLMs are conscious or anything, but out of force of habit, when I chat with ChatGPT I find that I try to be as nice to it as I would be to a real person.

If you are at SIGGRAPH, come check out the live demo of our paper "N-BVH: Neural ray queries with bounding volume hierarchies" in the Emerging Technology session from 11:15-1:15 pm in Exhibit Hall F!

The Computer Graphics chair at @Saar_Uni just finished building our own whiteboard plotter. We used seven @STAEMars pens. Wonder what more colors could do? #cg #saarland

Ever wanted to load a large asset in your GPU path tracer, only to find it doesn't fit in memory? Then check out our #SIGGRAPH2024 paper “N-BVH: Neural ray queries with bounding volume hierarchies” (with Alexander Rath, @exppad, @iliyang, Philipp Slusallek and @boubek)

Want to find out how to reduce perceptual error in animation rendering by using optimized sample sets? Join me, Corentin Salaün, @iliyang, @PGrittmann, Philipp Slusallek, Karol Myszkowski and @sinbagga at #SIGGRAPHAsia2023! More info at: misakorac.com/publications/2…

The free web version of "Physically Based Rendering: From Theory To Practice" is now based on the 4th edition of the book. Enjoy! (Link: pbr-book.org)

If you are interested in the fancy slides, they are also available at GitHub: github.com/iRath96/focal-…

Alex published his presentation for our SIGGRAPH 2023 publication of Focal Path Guiding: youtu.be/2gMt0WzSVpM #SIGGRAPH2023

Radiance Workshop 2023. Here we go!

I also can strongly recommend having a look at our supplemental. It contains a nice 2D visualization of our approach which you can play around with directly in your browser. Also don't miss the awesome presentation Alex has prepared ;)

The source code is already available at GitHub! github.com/iRath96/focal-… #opensource

Alexander Rath will be presenting our work on Focal Path Guiding for Light Transport Simulation in SIGGRAPH 2023. Tuesday, 2:32pm - 2:42pm PDT at the Neural Light Transport Session. More information available at our webpage: graphics.cg.uni-saarland.de/publications/r… #SIGGRAPH2023

I will be presenting our work at #SIGGRAPH2023 during the inverse rendering session on Tuesday, 10:45am - 12:15pm PDT. Together with Pascal Grittmann @PGrittmann and Philipp Slusallek. [1/4]

Sometimes the error images between two systems look fabulous. In this case all the pattern originates from FP precision. #error #science #evaluation

As deployment in AnyDSL can be a bit rough, I did a small set of scripts for Windows to download and setup AnyDSL and other dependencies necessary for Ignis. Feel free to adapt to your needs. github.com/PearCoding/Ign…

#SIGGRAPH2022 and #Vancouver was awesome. So many people interested in the same things as I am. Niceee😁 (Sorry for bad picture, but did not take many)🤔

Great way to start the week! #b3d 😀

Our latest step towards the one algorithm to render them all: Efficiency-aware MIS renders a scene with unidirectional path tracing and automatically detects if, where, and how many bidirectional samples should be used (SIGGRAPH 2022) graphics.cg.uni-saarland.de/publications/g…

Wanna play some Russian roulette? Our second SIGGRAPH 2022 paper, EARS: Efficiency-aware Russian roulette and splitting, shows how to iteratively optimize the Russian roulette and splitting factors in your path tracer to maximize rendering efficiency. graphics.cg.uni-saarland.de/publications/r…

Very cool: What people mean when they use everyday terms describing probabilities. github.com/zonination/per…
