Fun new paper at #SIGGRAPH2025: What if instead of two 6-sided dice, you could roll a single "funky-shaped" die that gives the same statistics (e.g, 7 is twice as likely as 4 or 10). Or make fair dice in any shape—e.g., dragons rather than cubes? That's exactly what we do! 1/n

Managed to get Nvidia Flow (PhysX) to compile and run, after initially failing the other week. Was curious for a quick peek now that it's been open sourced (github.com/NVIDIA-Omniv...) Flow itself isn't CUDA based, but instead uses compute shaders Some higher level observations in the replies 1/?

I'm thrilled to share a new JCGT paper, "GPU Friendly Laplacian Texture Blending." It uses simple image processing and computational photography techniques to smoothly blend/layer textures and materials while preserving local contrast and texture details without ghosting or over-blurring. 1/3

I'm very proud to announce that today NVIDIA has released our first public SDK for Neural Texture Compression (NTC)! github.com/NVIDIA-RTX/R... NTC exploits neural techniques to achieve 12-24x compression of PBR material textures with quality comparable or better than BC formats.

Ok for all the generative AI slop buzzwords, there’s a bunch of interesting and likely useful stuff in the longer form Nvidia blog: developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-... The compression cases are interesting, and despite how awful that pic of the AI face is, it’s at least not what I thought it was.

Hi graphics bsky, have you guys ever encountered the async window resizing problem? Rendering is done in a dedicated graphics thread (looper), but window resizing events happen in the main thread, and after posting that to the graphics thread they always arrive late. How do you guys deal with that?
