I think that's all I got. The man is a legend and should be more well known.

BTW the bloom method detailed in the 2004 presentation is still how bloom is done to this day in AAA games.

There he posted some interesting graphics columns but also links to presentations he did, such as one at GDC 2003 where he details how the post effects of Wreckless were achieved:

Both games also render particles at a lower resolution, somthing that would become standard the following generation.

At 10:00 you can see shadows CAST on the dust particles. This game is WAY ahead of its time.

I don't think path tracing is necessary for ambient lighting occlusion in static levels. I still remember CryEngine 2's "Calculate Sky Terrain accessibility" option when making levels.

Mine was just a sto-I mean, repurposed bloom effect. It even calculates fog twice for no good reason, lol.

Most games continue to have very static worlds so RT is not much of a visual upgrade nor does it justify tanking performance.
Artists and level designers need to be educated on the possibilities of real time RT so they can make effective (and impressive) use of it.

Great article! About the bloom, the mip pyramid method is from a 2004 presentation by Masaki Kawase. His site has been broken for over a decade so that's probably why you couldn't find it in your search. Here's a link to it:
