Releasing Walk on Spheres Extensions (WoSX): a GPU-accelerated C++/Python library for Monte Carlo physics simulation on complex geometry. Think path tracing but for physics beyond light transport: heat, electrostatics, potential flow, deformation & more! github.com/nv-tlabs/wosx

Rendering nerds! Check out our latest work "Vector-Valued Monte Carlo Integration Using Ratio Control Variates" that has just gotten the best paper award at SIGGRAPH 2025. This paper presents a method that reduces variance of a wide range of rendering and diff. rendering tasks with negligible cost.

Entropy is one of those formulas that many of us learn, swallow whole, and even use regularly without really understanding. (E.g., where does that “log” come from? Are there other possible formulas?) Yet there's an intuitive & almost inevitable way to arrive at this expression.

Following over 1.5 years of hard work (w/@njroussel.bsky.social &@rtabbara.bsky.social), we just released a brand-new version of Dr.Jit (v1.0), my lab's differentiable rendering compiler along with an updated Mitsuba (v3.6). The list of changes is insanely long—here is what we're most excited about🧵

SIGGRAPH Asia (still) coming up! Second paper thread! "Direct Manipulation of Procedural Implicit Surfaces" where we explore how to create a WYSIWYG editing interface for procedural representations, avoiding awkward sliders! eliemichel.github.io/SdfManipulat...
