Just stumbled upon this ancient PcPersective article on real-time ray tracing.. In 2008. :)
pcper.com/2008/06/ray-...
It details the story of nine students (Karim, Wussie, Rick, Jan, Rutger, Trevor, Mathijs, Roel, Wilco) who worked in various roles on CPU-ray traced games using the Arauna engine.

I wish more game studios realized that asset fidelity, where most of development budget goes today, is way less important than framing, lighting & atmosphere.
Lo-fi assets + hi-fi cinematography is going to be a key style in the coming years.

New at #SIGGRAPH2025:
Can we make Perlin Noise stretch along some underlying vector field? Well it turns out it's possible with two simple additions to the original method! No need for advection or convolutions.
Find the paper and implementations here:

i can't believe we still live in a galaxy where cinematographers and directors think it's okay to use this kind of color palette.
For me, at least, it calls attention to itself, breaking suspension of disbelief.

For that weird, narrow segment of technically-minded programmers who want to know how we programmed 3D graphics in the 90s and also want to know about 80% of the stuff I programmed before RAD, I sat down for a 5 hour interview on the Wookash Podcast.

New article on my site: HyAB k-means for color quantization
In which I try to improve color clustering with a different distance function. It's a simple technique in the end but it's pretty hard to evaluate if it's an improvement or not!

Decided to check out how water is rendered in Counter-Strike 2.
Given how interactive water in CS2 is, I expected to see some cellular fluid simulation, but turns out they just use a low-resolution off-screen buffer with flat 2D decals used for various aspects of water. Reminds me of HL2 water :)
