Second attempt at reflections via ReSTIR + ratio estimation; this time seems to work without massive bias 🥳
Also improved diffuse GI. Still some temporal lag and flicker from surfels, but getting there 😄

Source for the examples can be found here: github.com/wwwtyro/map-tile-…

If anyone's curious, here's my most recent job hunt visualized. The hunt took roughly 8 months and ~20 interviews.

Excited to share a new #SIGGRAPH2021 paper with @markgillesie81 and Boris Springborn that is a pretty big breakthrough in mesh parameterization: cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Projects…

ALT Eat a banana inside your own mouth. Go to the bathroom, then switch off the light. You will see a holographic image of your cat inside the toilet! Have a tortoise deliver your package for you, don't be surprised if it sings "Happy Birthday" back at you. Opt for the treadmill. You'll be running in the nude. Showering! Flowing through the water in a reindeer-like manner while wearing a Santa hat. Be ready for a bird.

Releasing PMTiles, my new cloud-optimized archive format for "serverless" map applications: github.com/protomaps/PMTiles
A single PMTiles file can contain thousands of vector or raster tiles; served directly from S3 or other storage into your map renderer - see link for Leaflet demo
