I am glad to attend #HPG2025 where I just presented our paper "Fused Collapsing for Wide BVH Construction", co-authored with Mathias Paulin. We propose a fast build algorithm for wide BVHs that directly computes a wide hierarchy without additional collapsing pass. Webpage: wbrbr.org/publications...

I'm thrilled to share a new JCGT paper, "GPU Friendly Laplacian Texture Blending." It uses simple image processing and computational photography techniques to smoothly blend/layer textures and materials while preserving local contrast and texture details without ghosting or over-blurring. 1/3
