Cull that cone! Improved cone/spotlight visibility tests for tiled and clustered lighting
In this blog post, I will present some common spotlight culling techniques and propose one small improvement that is able to correct results of cheap, tiled / clustered culling on the CPU/GPU with almost negligible ALU cost. If you know … Continue reading

Small float formats – R11G11B10F precision
While this post is not yet dithering related, it is in a way a part of my series about dithering. You can check index of all parts here or check the previous part. I will talk here about use of … Continue reading

Dithering part three – real world 2D quantization dithering
In previous two parts of this blog post mini-series I described basic uses mentioned blue noise definition, referenced/presented 2 techniques of generating blue noise and one of many general purpose high-frequency low-discrepancy sampling sequences. In this post, we will look … Continue reading

Dithering part two – golden ratio sequence, blue noise and highpass-and-remap
In previous part of the mini-series I covered dithering definition and how dithering changes error characteristics of simple 1D quantization and functions. In this part I will try to look at what blue noise is, but first wanted to have a … Continue reading

Dithering part one – simple quantization
Introduction First part of this mini-series will focus on more theoretical side of dithering -some history and applying it for 1D signals and to quantization. I will try to do some frequency analysis of errors of quantization and how dithering … Continue reading

Dithering in games – mini series
This an opening post of mini blog post series about various uses of dithering for quantization and sampling in video games. It is something most of us use intuitively in every day work, so wanted to write down some of … Continue reading

Short names are short
Intro This blog post is a counter-argument and response to a post by Bob Nystrom that got very popular few months ago and was often re-shared. I disagree so much that I thought it’s worth sharing my opinion on this topic. … Continue reading
