I finally found the time and energy to make a new blog and write a couple of posts. This time I wrote about PBR content and game development principles. Both posts are quite different so hopefully people find something interesting on either one of them.

Ray marching is a common approach to GPU-accelerated volume rendering, but gives biased transmittance estimates. My new #SIGGRAPHAsia paper (+code) proposes an amazingly simple formula to eliminate this bias almost completely without using more samples.

I made a configurable multi-plot utility Shadertoy

For the erosion video I'm working on, I want to show some function graph synced with erosion parameter changes. I wasn't happy with the existing function plotting examples I could find, so made my own here.

This is the project I've made solo during Slavic Game Jam 2025. Nothing fancy, not even a game, just 5 interactive shaders, to learn how to do custom GLSL shaders in Godot (incl. temporal feedback). Source code included.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
