Halton sampling 2026-09-08 Commit: cdd5249 Basic Halton sampling is implemented.

Here is an overview of some of the bigger software projects I’ve worked on in my free time.

Books, articles, and blog posts present the wavefront renderer architecture as a way to improve ray tracing performance on GPUs.

Alan Wolfe’s paper, “Using Blue Noise for Ray Traced Soft Shadows”, presents a great method for reducing the perceived noise in soft shadows.

Not having to deal with loading data from a bunch of small files makes it easier to work with your executable.

To develop my main ray tracing renderer project, I have been working on a Macbook Air with an M2 chip.

After getting back into hands-on programming with C++ after a long break, I reached for the shiny new way of doing aggregate initialization, called designated initializers.

This post is a devlog for my rayfinder project.

The first part of “Weekend raytracing with wgpu” left us with a basic implementation of Peter Shirley’s first book in the series of “Ray Tracing In One Weekend " books.

Peter Shirley’s book Raytracing In One Weekend is a great way to kickstart your own path tracer.

In inverse transform sampling, we use the inverse cumulative distribution function (CDF) to generate random numbers in a given distribution.

Introduction Dithering is a fascinating and seemingly counter-intuitive technique.

There are many different ways to generate 3d models.

I spend most of my programming time writing C++.

Node editors are one of the more discussed use cases for the dear imgui UI library, and there are lots of gists as well as fully-fledged implementations for them on Github.

Hi there!

You can read part 1 here.

Wren is a small, fast, class-based scripting language designed to be easily embeddable in a host application.

While I was trying to generate code to bind C++ to a scripting language, I discovered that C++ templates, in their current modern form, are not as scary as I used to think they were.
