Hello graphics Bluesky! 🧡 I heard through the grapevine that my colleague Daniil Smoliakov is looking for new opportunities! He's one of the most talented and tireless people I've ever seen at work so he deserves the praise 😊 Try and get him while you can! 🏃💨 www.linkedin.com/in/daniil-sm...

I think one of the most beautiful things that happens when you work on a game long enough is that every feature evokes a specific person in your mind. Particles are someone you started this job with, ocean waves are your deskmate, clouds are your boss, moths flying around are your best man.

Hola again graphics peeps! 😊 I found myself with enough bits and pieces related to text rendering to warrant a write-up. So here it is! 😱 osor.io/text Spiced up with direct vector rendering, sub-pixel anti-aliasing, run-time atlas packing, temporal accumulation, and more! I hope you enjoy it! 🧡

rewatching Apollo 11 (2019) and just awestruck by how beautiful it is. how the hell is there this much high quality 70mm archival footage from 1969?!? the quality of the cinematography, the quaint 60's vibe, the epic shots of the Saturn V; everything is next level good.

The 5 F1 engines moments after launch, fully lit.

The Saturn V moments after launch, breaking the sound barrier.

Intersecting heterogeneous volumes with multiscatter + exponential high analytical + mesh lights is hard. Now it's 30-40 percent faster for such scenes (more bounces more performance gain)

Happy to see more of the graphics community here 😊 Perhaps I should be posting a little bit more, and over the past few days I've been bitten by the text rendering bug again so... here's a video saying hi! 👋😄
