We're happy to announce we have a new Editor-in-Chief, Alexander Wilkie, and two new editors, Johannes Schudeiske and Andrea Weidlich. Marc Olano continues on as Managing Editor. And, thanks to David Eberly, who has retired as an editor. Current roster at jcgt.org

We're entering graphics talk season. I recently ran across Jim Blinn's advice from decades ago. Much of it still holds up: realtimerendering.com/blog/giving-a-…

My current fun thing while walking around is Scaniverse, a free app by Niantic, the Pokemon Go people. A note to a friend turned into a short blog post: realtimerendering.com/blog/scanivers… Or just see Boole here: scaniverse.com/scan/ippfv6dt6…

Seven things for today, March 24th: realtimerendering.com/blog/seven-thi…

Happy Public Domain Day! realtimerendering.com/blog/public-do…

A great read (well, I skimmed some of the technical details - it's long, two parts - but still...) about a modder adding fast image loading for a game: @tomysshadow/fixing-the-loading-in-myst-iv-revelation-86e2814afbf8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@tomysshadow/f… - it's a pretty crazy amount of work this guy does to Myst IV.

@wolfgangengel You're actually doing better than that - here's for all of Programming, amazon.com/gp/new-release… (and #10 currently in all of Computers & Technology)

We are No. 1 amazon.com/dp/B0DNXNM14K

@davidpfohmann Yeah, I agree, that's probably a bad analogy on my part (it's a bit more work than "Hello world" ;) ). Maybe it's more like "I ported Doom to this vape pen, thereby proving it's video-game compliant."

@pointinpolygon Don't know how to feel about graphics equivalent to "Hello World". But crazy stuff.

Seven graphics things (well, more) for today, including the new book GPU Zen 3 (w00t!) and Doom run using E. coli cells. realtimerendering.com/blog/seven-thi…

@GBH @gtjuggler One more to check out someday and hopefully add to your (great) map: honeypothill.com/bakery-goodies

PSA: Alex Schwartz's New England Cider Donut Map with 260+ destinations is alive and well. It is truly spectacular. bit.ly/3L9mlsx

What a pleasant big surprise. Free to share a $1M secret to get a best paper award: to get Iliyan presenting the paper. @EGSympRendering @iliyang. Congrats to @tzumaoli, Trevor and Ravi.

The EGSR 2024 Symposium-Only papers are now available at diglib.eg.org/handle/10.2312… The CGF-Track papers also will soon be available, at diglib.eg.org/handle/10.2312…

I'll certainly be there. The symposium-only papers will be up just before the conference, open access, at diglib.eg.org/communities/f9…

Papers are being accepted and finalized, and we plan on having the schedule out at the beginning of next week. In the meantime, enjoy the soulful croonings of AI singing about EGSR 2024 in this work created by Martin Ilčík, distributed with permission: suno.com/song/66f09a84-…
