Demoing at #NokiaArena how we do photorealistic rendering for real-time digital twins in #VirtualReality. @CustomParComp also showing their demos at the next booth. Check out our video for more rendered material! youtube.com/watch?v=zJmLWp…

We're introducing Hierarchical Bitmask Implicit Grids (HBIG) for very fast point-in-volume queries (for light culling, decal #rendering, etc.)! Check out our code and paper at github.com/vga-group/hier… #raytracing #rasterization

We're using Tauray for real-time multi-GPU stereoscopic path tracing. Tauray parallelizes the path tracing, but we added parallelization to the spatial reprojection, hole-filling and denoising stages as well, and got a 2x speedup of total rendering time: library.imaging.org/ei/articles/36…

TauBench is a benchmarking tool that is specifically designed to stress temporal reuse algorithms, which makes it an essential tool for evaluating the performance of rendering systems.

Version 1.1 of TauBench, our dynamic rendering benchmark, is out! It loads much faster now, thanks to smaller file sizes. We also fixed bugs, uploaded 16K spp references, and added benchmark results for TAA and SVGF. @vga_tuni webpages.tuni.fi/vga/taubench youtube.com/watch?v=XfmhuL…

@GPUOpen Interesting work, glad to see you extending our BMFR pipeline!

Read our #realtime #denoising research! "Weighted À-Trous Linear Regression (WALR) for Real-Time Diffuse Indirect Lighting Denoising": a new regression-based method for denoising images from path-traced #globalillumination with few rays/pixel. #raytracing gpuopen.com/download/publi…

We just released Tauray, our open-source real-time path tracer that can utilize multiple GPUs and is optimized for multi-viewport rendering, like VR and light field displays! github.com/vga-group/taur… #pathtracing #raytracing #realtimerendering @ITC_TampereUni @thekhronosgroup

We've been working on light fields lately, and just presented papers about real-time light field path tracing and dynamic multi-GPU multi-view load balancing for it at CGI2022. Check out both preprints at webpages.tuni.fi/vga/ #raytracing

We just published the first version of TauBench, a modern dynamic benchmark for graphics rendering, especially for benchmarking temporal reuse methods. Download the permissively licensed dataset at webpages.tuni.fi/vga/taubench #realtimerendering #raytracing

Our survey paper on real-time rendering of point clouds with photorealistic effects is now available at ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/96935…! Its primary focus is on ray tracing approaches. #realtimerendering #pointcloud #raytracing

Our latest conference proceedings paper on distributing spherical harmonics path tracing for real-time photorealistic rendering is available as a preprint webpages.tuni.fi/vga/publicatio… #computingsciencesTAU #pathtracing

Our latest paper evaluating the quality benefits of spatiotemporal sample reusage in path tracing was just published @IEEEAccess ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/91441…. #computingsciencesTAU #raytracing

Matias Koskela will (remotely) defend his doctoral dissertation "Foveated Path Tracing with Fast Reconstruction and Efficient Sample Distribution" on May 14th 2020 at 12:00 @TampereUni tuni.fi/fi/ajankohtais…

Thanks to @inversepixel and our alumnus Timo Viitanen we’ll be giving these to the best ray tracing assignments on our computer graphics course tut.fi/opinto-opas/ww…

In our @EGSympRendering paper we introduced foveated path tracing in Visual-Polar space which makes both path tracing and denoising approximately 2.5x faster: tut.fi/vga/publicatio…

Provost Jarmo Takala and Professor Atanas Gotchev @TampereUni welcome you to Tampere in September 2020 for the #MMSP2020 - the IEEE 22nd International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing! youtu.be/YzVBHjbeeY0 @VisitTampere #MMSP #IEEE #SignalProcessingSociety

Our real-time path tracing denoising paper BMFR will be presented next week at #SIGGRAPH2019 See you all in room 153 on Jul 30 10:45 AM PDT tuni.fi/vga/bmfr

Our regression based path tracing denoising algorithm will be presented at #SIGGRAPH2019. The algorithm runs in real-time and is targeted for 1 spp inputs. Preprint, code and data already available at tuni.fi/vga/bmfr

Our position paper on spatiotemporal reprojection in ray traced and path traced rendering is published in GRAPP'19. The paper evaluates the utilization of spatial and temporal coherence using an spp-based quality metric. tut.fi/vga/publicatio…
