Dithering is still a surprisingly applicable technique, not just for practical reasons (such as preparing a full-color image for output on a non-color printer), but for artistic reasons as well. Dithering also has applications in web design, where it is a useful technique for reducing images with high color counts to lower color counts, reducing file size (and bandwidth) without harming quality. It also has uses when reducing 48 or 64bpp RAW-format digital photos to 24bpp RGB for editing.| tannerhelland.com

GTK has been using SVG for symbolic icons since essentially forever. It hasn't been a perfect relationship, though. Pre-History For the longest time (all through the GTK 3 era, and until recently), we've used librsvg indirectly, through gdk-pixbuf, to obtain rendered icons, and then we used some pixel tricks to recolor the resulting image according...| GTK Development Blog
As a writer I have (unsurprisingly) something of a bias towards the written word. I hate getting information from videos because they are so slow at putting stuff across - when I've had to do an online course with videos, I always use the transcript instead if available and get through it in half the time. I'm just not very visually oriented. But that said, I can of course see the benefit of graphics as a way of putting across a piece of information where words can be clumsy.When I help stude...| Now Appearing

The last feature of the class; light refraction. I use Snell’s Law for calculating the refracted light-vectors, and Beer’s Law for calculating light absorbance through mediums. I’ve got my render-farm running at full-tilt now, so I was able to get some really nice renders. AS A NOTE: WordPress seems to be resizing my images when […]| Matt Yan

I just finished the last touches on the first project for the class I’m taking on path-tracing, and I’m pretty pleased with the result!

I’m happy to finally have something to show for […]| Matt Yan
As the last project in my graphics class we were instructed to choose any white-paper, then research and implement it. I decided to implement depth of field (DoF). It’s an effect that simulates how lenses (cameras, our eyes, etc) focus light. I had to give a presentation which you can find here. In reality, we have to fake depth of […]| Matt Yan
The last graphics project of this semester was ambient occlusion (AO). This is a really subtle effect that mimics the shadowing you would see when something has a lot of folds/creases/occluding geometry on the surface of an object. For example, here’s a render of the bunny model without AO: Doesn’t look terrible right? The bunny has nice detailing […]| Matt Yan
I’ve knocked down the next graphics feature: exponential soft shadow mapping! Prior, I implemented traditional shadow-mapping, and they looked like this if you got close: See those pixelated edges? Not very pretty, and it gets worse the closer you get. With these new shadows, they can have varying penumbra, and look much better at close […]| Matt Yan
A long, long time ago, when I was just a wee freshman at DigiPen, I saw an awesome photo. The array of PBR balls; every graphics programmer has probably seen it at least once. It was crazy to me that you could get something to look so real on a computer. This was the moment I […]| Matt Yan

Most monitors are capable of displaying RGB values in the range of [0,255][0, 255][0,255] . However, in real life, there is no limit on the amount of light 'energy' incident on a point. Most renderers output linear radiance values in [0,∞)[0, \infty)[0,∞) , which needs to be mapped into a viewable range. Those radiance values are described as High Dynamic Range (HDR), because they are unlimited, and the viewable target range is described as Low Dynamic Range (LDR), because there is a fixe...| 64.github.io
