I fell into the #unity3d #HDRP codebase again. Oops. I wrote a post about how the water currents were done at the time: rivers, cascades and vortices on an FFT ocean, and no feature written for any of them. If you are curious: anisb.github.io/2026/09/26/c...

Gunman Contracts is very fun and I wish more people had VR to experience it fully. If you do everything right, you're John Wick. Most players are closer to a very heavily armed Mr Bean.

I've released my Tone Mapping Analysis tools for comparing tone mapping LUTs, implemented as a Unity project with custom editor windows. Compare how different tone mappers look when applied to HDR .exr images, with comparison sliders and a variety of overlays and graphs. github.com/runevision/T...

A table of different images, each row shown with different tone mappers. One cell shows a comparison slider.

Graphs are displayed for each tone mapper row and the Saturation Overlay is applied to the images.

In ~2007 when coding the ambient lighting of Splinter Cell, I had the idea of storing dynamic SH probes in Voronoi cells, where a) dynamic objects could walk/lerp the face graph, and b) static meshes "palettised" probes per vertex and lerped to give Realtime GI. It never shipped but look how pretty!

The comparison videos going around with the DLSS 5 dlls are making me sad. Plenty of folks being impressed about it, but all I see is a fancy highpass filter that sharper the image and kills anything but midtones.

Adaptive ray rate per pixel! A series of compute passes distribute a fixed budget of rays over the pixels on the screen, a fixed trace dispatch goes over the final ray list and traces them. Improves disocclusions drastically. Allows way fewer (i'm using 2x fewer) rays per pixel at BETTER quality.

0.5 rays per pixel total budget, rays distributed based on need

1 ray per pixel budget, rays distributed based on pixels on need

A Texture Lookup Approach to Bézier Curve Evaluation on the GPU jcgt.org/published/00... New published paper! The premise is that you can offload polynomial evaluation to the texture sampling unit, which can be useful for improving execution times if you are compute bound.

Figure 2 from the paper, showing how bilinear texture interpolation can evaluate the de Casteljau algorithm.

Table 1 from the paper, showing how to calculate Seiler interpolation values, and how to store them in textures.
