As 3D generative AI matures, it’s reshaping creativity across multiple disciplines.
This year, ever-expanding work in the 3D generative AI space will be explored as part of the SIGGRAPH Technical Papers program, including these three novel methods — each offering a unique take on how 3D generative AI is being applied.

It's crazy how advanced the graphics software on Symbolics LISP machines were in the 1980's before SGI kind of took over that space.

Is there a standard algorithm to create a halftone screen from a greyscale image? How was this even done before computers?
I mean like in this image. At 50%, the raster is like a checker board, and at darker tones, it's like white circles on black.
So just drawing black circles won't get you there.

A great new article by Jeffrey Starr, Investigating MacPaint's Source Code: https://ztoz.blog/posts/macpaint-source-code/

Does Wikipedia really have no article on loading tunnels in computer games?
You know, those spots where you squeeze through a crack in a wall, walks through a corridor with a wall in the middle where the path splits and goes around it, or takes an elevator, which allows the game to unload most of the previous level (which you can’t see anymore now) and start loading the next level, instead of interrupting the game with a loading screen?
Is there a more generic term for that?
Hero Wavelength Spectral Sampling successfully implemented! 
Both: 4 samples per pixel
Left: one wavelength per ray
Right: four wavelengths per ray
With only a modest increase in runtime duration, the image becomes much smoother. This is more efficient than just adding more samples per pixel!
Implementing iridescence with thin film interference in my rendering engine!
A very long shot, but is anyone else attending STAG 2024 in Verona tomorrow/Friday? It would be nice to meet a real live Fediverse person! :)

We introduce a novel anisotropic specular image-based lighting method that serves as a drop-in replacement for the standard bent normal technique. This approach renders materials like brushed stainless steel and fur more realistically.
We derive an analytic formula for determining the major axis of the specular microfacet BRDF and place the environment samples along it, similar to anisotropic texture filtering.

I've also been looking at racial bias, #racism in #Computergraphics. (There was a path I was on, from Grace Hopper's wikipedia entry (because of the recently released NSA lecture) to #lenna to shirley cards in #photography until finally I got here.)
@TheodoreKim has a video I watched about this that was really eye opening for me. I've asked my lecturer in the #uniofsheffield about this as I'll be doing a computer graphics module, so I'll see what he says. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROuE8xYLpX8
