- presents a classification system for rendering engines based on their architectural approaches
- focuses on the importance of context to discuss decisions and tradeoffs
- article explaining the foundation of the Poisson distribution
- develops an intuitive way to help understanding first and then derives the mathematical model from this
- supplementary video for a research paper on improving Sobol’ sequence quality
- visualizes the differences between traditional Sobol’ sequences and ones with guaranteed quality 2D projections
