Methods like NeRF and Gaussian Splats model the world as radioactive fog, rendered using alpha blending. This produces great results.. but are volumes the only way to get there?🤔 Our new SIGGRAPH'25 paper directly reconstructs surfaces without heuristics or regularizers.

Excited to share the latest Mitsuba and Dr.Jit releases - packed with new features! 🚀
I’ll be at SIGGRAPH this week, happy to chat about the latest changes or anything Mitsuba-related

🥻Our new #SIGGRAPH2025 paper introduces a novel pipeline that captures and digitizes physical threads, predicts fabric appearance from the weaving pattern, and aids designers in exploring new possibilities.

Very happy about this release! I'll be at SIGGRAPH Asia next week if anyone wants to chat about Mitsuba/Dr.Jit in person.

Also, I'm ready to take the next step in my career. So, if you work in (inverse) rendering, let's get in touch - my DMs are open 🚀 !

We are excited to present a SIGGRAPH Asia paper exploring a new application of inverse rendering to Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (TVAM), a new light-based 3D printing technology that can print objects in less than a minute.
