Today in the Graphics Guild of Breda University: Going 3D on a 1984 platform. By cheating, obviously. #MSX #thisisigad

Saw that "The Witcher 4" UE5 tech demo with the voxel trees for fast rendering at a distance?
I figured... that should be easy to do in TinyBVH. :) So now TinyBVH can do voxel meshes. Attached video: CPU-only, switching between BVH and voxels.

TinyBVH has been updated to 1.5.6 on the main branch. This release brings two new examples:
* Minimal OpenGL / compute shader traversal example
* OpenCL TLAS/BLAS 'tinyscene' demo (see video).
Example 2 uses Lighthouse 2 scene data with materials and full GLTF animation.

Grading for Y1/Block C @ Breda University is complete.
Our students used path tracing, BVHs, reprojection, blue noise, post-processing, importance sampling, MIP-mapping, bilinear interpolation and tons of other ingredients to build a CPU ray tracer + game. Behold, the gamedevs of 2028!

Still grading Y1/Block C for Breda University. Here's some work by Okke Roelofsen. Using a custom CPU path tracer and TinyBVH, all built in just 8 weeks.
Also check the gorgeous photo mode!

Grading Year1 /Block C for Breda University / IGAD is such a delight. Behold this CUDA-powered path tracer produced in just eight weeks by Tamara Heeffer!
The engine uses TinyBVH for software raytracing on the GPU.
