How to conquer washed out lights and ugly color banding

For those of us that have been using it from the start, it can be hard to believe that Direct3D 12 has been around for nearly ten years now. Windows 10 was released on July 29th 2015, and D3D12 has be...

Disney Animation makes heavy use of Ptex [Burley and Lacewell 2008] across our assets [Burley et al. 2018], which required a new texture streaming pipeline for our new real-time ray tracer. Our goal was to create a scalable system which could provide a real-time, zero-stall experience to users at all times, even as the number of Ptex files expands into the tens of thousands. We cap the maximum size of the GPU cache to a relatively small footprint, and employ a fast LRU eviction scheme when we hit the limit.
