- presents how all ray-tracing based effects were implemented in the game Control
- opaque and transparent reflections, near field indirect diffuse illumination, contact shadows, and denoiser tweaks
- extension of the previously presented Decoupled Visibility Multisampling technique
- underlying idea is to see 8xMSAA as a 2x2 group of pixels with 2xMSAA each
- using the sample information for TAA upsampling

- the blog discusses Vulkan usage for GPGPU workloads, in particular for machine learning
- presents the varying requirements for machine learning and how Vulkan can be used to satisfy them
- discusses how it interacts with the business aspects (OEM, platform holders, …)
- additionally shows the authors view onto the current challenges and future developments
Threedy is a young Fraunhofer spin-off with a considerable number of high-profile customers in the german automotive sector.
We develop the Visual-Computing-as-a-Service platform instant3Dhub to enable our customers to leverage the true value of their 3D data in industrial applications – any data, any device, any size.
instant3Dhub has a strong focus on CAD data visualization, from browser-based to mixed reality applications and delivers out-of-the-box collaboration and augmented reality features.
We are looking for graphics programming enthusiasts to support our core development team for the 3D streaming with a focus on the evolution of our web frontend build on WebGL.
- a Bachelor thesis that presents a method for GPU based silhouette generation from Polyhedral lights
