For folks that know me as "the blue noise guy", I've put together a 50 minute video that talks about many of the things I've learned in my ~decade long dive into noise and related topics - up to and including our latest paper published days ago at I3D.
Enjoy!

Also shoutout to the recent mesh generators such as MeshAnything, MeshXL, EdgeRunner, LLaMA-Mesh, and many more.

It's a super exciting research area - 3D meshes for the win!!!
