@mmalex @iquilezles when the film industry makes a format/SDK and only expects 3 companies in the world to ever compile it

@vassvik @guitio2002 one thing I wondered about, do you use the same sparse tiles for density grid as velocity grid, or a different one?

@vassvik @guitio2002 Only on the coarsest levels, when you're at 64x or so. for really sparse or wide grids it's probably less efficient, for typical case more reasonable?

@guitio2002 @vassvik this is for volumes, we generate sample points along the ray march which are lit after and accumulated

@vassvik @guitio2002 lighting is another game all together, we don't do any light calculation to the grid now, it's all in ray.

@vassvik @guitio2002 you're right, as I go down the lowest levels of the multi grid I just resolve to a full grid as it ends up cheaper than staying in tiles when the res is so low. At 4x4x4 you can read in 8x8x8 and do 2 steps in ls.

@vassvik @guitio2002 I was wondering about the 32x32x32 tile size. Do you gain anything significant on eg pressure or advection passes on a larger size v 8x8x8?

@vassvik @guitio2002 I've been using 8x8x8 for sparse volumes for a few years now. Mainly because it was a good fit for a compute shader.. The lds fetching in the context of a sparse solver is a bit more involved at the boundaries reading into other tiles

@guitio2002 ha, I've been doing this method for a while too for volumes, 8x8x8 tile fetching 10x10x10 into LDS, but Morten's fetching code looks fancier than mine

I'm doing Siggraph Real-Time Live this year with this nice group of people. coming to a stage in denver soon

@SebAaltonen back in the mid 2000s we all tried to model the film camera (even for first person........) via overdone dof/bloom/motionblur mainly because of the idea that "it makes things look more realistic". but we grew out of it by now. hopefully

@bonzajplc @h3r2tic the best and worst thing i ever did for realtime dof was to write a side by side raytraced dof. helps massively to have a ground truth available on demand but also a cause of much disappointment

@biovf @SebAaltonen @speedwago great perf analysis tools helped a lot

@mrdoob overrated: making things free artificially using cash pumped in from elsewhere to try to disrupt the market in an ultimately unsustainable and potentially industry-damaging way. underrated: self-sustainability through a reasonable, fair revenue model
