Eric Veach, Matt Pharr, Greg Humphreys and Pat Hanrahan! You can watch their speeches here and here. One could hardly overestimate the usefulness of their work. Even in the fast-moving field of rendering, Eric’s methods have been prevalent for more than one and a half decade now. In this field, we usually borrow techniques from theoretical mathematics and […]
I have recently come across two great pieces: Professor Larry Wasserman and Walter Noll suggests a simple two-tier publishing system. CERN physicists show statistics on the viability of arXiv in High Energy Physics (HEP) research, where they found the following: as of 2008, more than 95% of the peer-reviewed HEP journal articles are also published on […]
Eugene d’Eon, one of the most influential and prolific authors in subsurface light transport research states an indeed very interesting and thought-provoking thought in his review of the Photon Beam Diffusion paper: “It seems unclear to me that graphics papers like this one need images anymore. Carefully presented plots do much more to convince the […]
To the very best of my knowledge, Kazakh professor Mukhtarbay Otelbaev submitted a paper on the solution of the Navier-Stokes regularity Millenium problem. It seems that he had found an upper bound for a unique solution for the periodic boundary condition formulation of the problem. For the readers who are familiar with the notation, the main result is […]
This little gem is among the most fascinating mysteries one can encounter in mathematics. Read below.
These complicated terms bear quite simple and intuitive meanings. Read below.
I have added a short write-up on the oddtown, eventown problems in mathematics.
Pierre Moreau from Ecole normale supérieure de Cachan is dropping by for a project in global illumination. Welcome! 🙂
Silvana Podaras has graduated – the title of her thesis is “Automated Lighting Design For Photorealistic Rendering“, and is available here. The paper version and the aftermath of this work is also available. Be sure to check them out! Congratulations! 🙂
Kevin Streicher has graduated – you can read his thesis, “Interactive Scene Manipulation Techniques for Ray Tracing” here. Congratulations! 🙂
