Hi Everyone, I'm a French researcher working on computer graphics.
My research focuses on Procedural generation and Geometry.

They also tend to don’t read paper published in non us based conf, but that’s another story …

Fewer, better, with less cherry picked result, and replicable with reliable open sources code

So I contacted the editor that also didn't know how to contact them.
I contacted the google search support, they also don't know how to reach scholar.

Thibault Tricard @thibaulttricard.bsky.social · Jul 5

Recently google scholar wrongly attributed one of my article ot another author.
In my quest to fix the issue I discovered that their is no way to contact scholar.
(appart from a contact email that is propably redirected to /dev/null)

Hardware virtual textures look like a marvelous tool for large terrains or volume compression.
Alas, they are in a sad state in terms of performance and usability. And strangely, the (very bad) binding perfs varies a lot with the driver.

I know a few lab heads who are going to regret putting their name on all the paper going out of their lab 🤡

I love the new way NeurIPS @neuripsconf.bsky.social handles the reviewing responsibility: it is explicitly framed as a "Partnership" (which it always was):

- if you are late in your reviews, you will not see the reviews to your own papers
- your own papers risk desk rejecting (like CVPR, ICCV)

Triangles offer a natural strata to layout efficient non uniform random sampling on meshes. Our triangle rejection sampling reaches 10B samples/sec, which can feed primitive instancing, fiber distributions or emissivity sampling. Details in our HPG25 paper: research.adobe.com/publication/...

The surface mesh of a landscape (top left) is enriched with tens of millions of grass blades, designed in path traced in real time using a procedural density map (bottom left).

Holding SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 in Malaysia is a slap in the face to the rights of LGBTQ+ people. Especially now, when underrepresented people need as much support as we can possibly give them ! Angry like me ? Sign this open letter to let them know. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I see…
Maybe if you combine K complementary blue noise sequences and use the density field as a threshold.
It would limit the number of density level to K, moreover finding the complementary blue noise is not an easy task

Thibault Tricard @thibaulttricard.bsky.social · Jun 8

I’m not sure there is a paper on that, but if you use a white noise distribution that follow the density field and apply a loïd relaxation on the laguere diagram created by the distribution and the density field you should converge towards something close to what you want

I am concerned academia is still a "publish or perish" model. How will it impact our ability to get a paper accepted?

Imho, a solution would be to design a stable benching setup and change publication guidelines so that only the results obtained on that setup would be accepted
Easier said than done
