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...

We’re teaming up with Google’s Flutter team to bring Impeller to .NET
Impeller is Flutters new GPU-optimised renderer, replacing Skia for better performance on mobile and embedded devices.
This is what open collaboration looks like 🚀

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.
