I just released my video about the engine (and game) I've been working on.
The engine is based on dynamic SDFs, and the video describes how it works and what it makes possible.

This is my first YouTube video and it took forever - please repost!

I'm so happy to finally be able to talk about our new SIGGRAPH Asia paper "Control Operators for Interactive Character Animation". It's been by far the most work I've seen go into a SIGGRAPH paper (thanks goes to @gouruiyu.bsky.social) and a fun project all round.

The post on using spatial hashing with raytraced ambient occlusion attracted quite a bit of interest so I expanded it into a blog post to discuss how it works behind the scenes to both reduce the noise and its cost. interplayoflight.wordpress.com/2025/11/23/s...
