I’ve uploaded a new video containing my most recent work on my Sparse Voxel Octree raycaster. Thanks to advances in my own voxelizer, I’ve been able to include sampled normal information and render diffuse shading now.
After quite a struggle, I managed to compile the Walt Disney Animation Studios BRDF Explorer (released during SIGGRAPH) myself. Only to find out that a binary has been available for 2 days. I’ll post some quick info on it anyway, for those interested in compiling (future versions) themselves. Thanks go …
I was fortunate enough to attend the talk Rich Geldreich of Valve Software gave at the OpenGL Anniversary party duing SIGGRAPH 2012 in the JW Marriot Gold Ballroom in LA: “Left 4 Dead 2 Linux: From 6 to 300 FPS in OpenGL.” Update: As Rich himself was so kind to …
Update: I published a paper on this at HPG 2013. It contains updated info and a more detailed look into the problem and solution than this blogpost does. During the development of my Sparse Voxel Octree (SVO) raycaster (see last week’s progress report), I had to find a good way to build …
Update: This guide was updated August 2013 to reflect some minor changes since Jelly Bean. Update #2: This guide was updated November 2013 to clear up confusion with the international build names. Thanks commenters! After my HTC Wildfire and Motorola Atrix, I’m now on my 3rd Android phone in 3 years: …
On the third and last day of the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering (EGSR 2012) in Paris, the 29th of june, some attendees turned up with a fuzzy head – I guess most of the German guests had to drown their loss in the EK semi-finals with a lot of wine :) …
Update 2016: Last.fm have taken that URL down again – I’d advise using the script as detailed below. I’ve tweeted Last.fm about the problem. This online service seems to be working for generating a backup: http://benjaminbenben.com/lastfm-to-csv/ Update 2014: Somewhere this year, Last.fm included an web-based way of doing this yourself: http://www.last.fm/settings/dataexporter – method below …
After a few weeks of optimizing and getting a lot of good C++ advice from Ares Lagae, I consider my CPU-based voxel raycaster as done. I now have a good framework to test some more interesting stuff on. It offers real-time performance, even for large voxel grids, and I’ve structured the …
This is my overview of the second day of the EGSR conference, which took place from 27-29th of June, in Paris, France. For a list of authors, and download links of all papers presented, I refer to Ke-Sen Huang’s excellent page. Another great EGSR overview can be found here. Edit: …
Note: You can find my overview of Day 2 and Day 3 on this blog as well. I have the privilege to attend the annual Eurographics Symposium on Rendering (EGSR) in Paris, France this year. The first warm day is behind us, and it’s time to reflect on and tell about …
