#raytracing folks, what do you think of next event estimation vs simple MIS (generate either brdf sample or light sample, use total probability in MC estimator)?

My former student insists on NEE, but it has so many special cases that I doubt it's a good idea pedagogically.

#FluidX3D #CFD v3.2 is out! I've implemented the much requested #GPU summation for object force/torque; it's ~20x faster than #CPU #multithreading. 🖖😋
Horizontal sum in #OpenCL was a nice exercise - first local memory reduction and then hardware-supported atomic floating-point add in VRAM, in a single-stage kernel. Hammering atomics isn't too bad as each of the ~10-340 workgroups dispatched at a time does only a single atomic add.
Also improved volumetric #raytracing!

Right? Fancy graphics don't mean squat if you can't keep up with the (now metaphorical) beam, and last I heard, #RayTracing was slower than a bottle of molasses left outside in Antarctica for a month.

What does ray tracing even buy you, anyway? Sure, it's nice and elegant as a way to render the whole scene, but if you're still rasterizing most of it, then what the hell is the point? Reflections in puddles? Big whoop, they did that with raster 20 years ago.

Laut DSO Gaming ist das PC Next Gen Upgrade von GTA 5 im Bereich Technik umfangreicher als die Gamestar in ihrer News geschrieben haben.

Der PC Next Gen Patch bringt DirectStorage, #Raytracing Reflections, #Raytracing Shadows, RTAO, RTGI, DLSS 3 und FSR 3😃
Mir läuft das Wasser im Mund zusammen😀

Dazu kommt Dolby Atmos und verbesserte Cinematics.

Ich sehe mich schon wieder zu dem Kansas Song Carry on Wayward Son in den Sonnenaufgang düsen😍

He visto trozos de este gameplay de #IndianaJones y el Gran Círculo, y, sinceramente, no veo que el juego justifique sus desmedidos requisitos de sistema en PC.

Los modelados de los humanos parecen extraídos del Creation Engine de #Bethesda y quitando el #RayTracing no veo que a niveles luzca mejor que el remake de Resident Evil 4 o Batman: Arkham Knight.

Por otro lado, el juego parece estar claramente inspirado en Dishonored. youtube.com/watch?v=V99abjiIDw4

OK, pretty happy with what I can get out of my ray tracer at this point but working on it any more is probably going to involve learning how to write shaders and running it on the GPU because doing this on the CPU is just getting silly at this point 😅

Might dive into that soon but I've got some things I've been meaning to get back to in ad (and I'm part way through "Crafting Interpreters" by @munificent) so I should probably get back to that stuff first(!)
