Introduction I updated my DirectCompute Mandelbrot fractal demo to be able to render using both CUDA and DirectCompute. The program is a simple Mandelbrot renderer, but you can dynamically switch between a CUDA and DirectCompute render. Relevant Links http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/sdk/website/Graphics_Interop.html#simpleD3D11Texture The NVIDIA CUDA 3.2 SDK includes a DirectX11 interop sample “Simple D3D11 Texture” which I used [...]
http://cedil.cesa.or.jp/ Looks like the CEDEC Digital Library is now online. CEDEC is Japan’s biggest game developer conference and the CEDEC Digital Library houses presentation slide material from CEDEC 2006 through last year’s CEDEC 2010. Not sure if it’s all the presentations, but there’s a whole lot of material available for download. In order to download [...]
http://www.3dmark.com/ 3DMark’s official webpage. http://www.3dmark.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/3DMark11_Whitepaper.pdf 3DMark 11′s white paper, which I learned about from Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/repi/status/12653354148700161). The whitepaper contains details about multithreading, tessellation (phong tessellation is used), lighting and posteffect techniques used in 3DMark 11. It has interesting information such as how they do bloom and lens reflection computations in the frequency domain using the [...]
Introduction I updated my simple Temporal AA demo to include an implementation of Temporal AA without blending. A lot of times, in technical 3D forums, you read about Temporal AA not showing up in screenshots. If you blend jittered frames like in my previous demo then Temporal AA is going to show up in screenshots. [...]
