Computing Normals for "Smooth by Angle" Shading Like Blender

I recently finished up the process of fixing a bug in the Chromium/Google Chrome web browser. It was my first time contributing to the Chromium project or any other open source project of that scale, and it was a very unique experience compared to other open source work I've done in the past. I figured that I'd write up an overview of the whole...

For a couple of years now, I've been working on and off on some 3D scenes and levels that run in the browser. It started off as a scattering of self-contained demos for some custom shaders or similar that I wanted to try out, but over time the project has grown into a pretty substantial interconnected game-like thing. One of the unifying themes...

There's been a fair bit of buzz about Kolmogorov-Arnold networks online lately. Some research papers were posted around claiming that they offer better accuracy or faster training compared to traditional neural networks/MLPs for the same parameter count. I was compelled by these claims and decided to test them out myself. Here are my main...

Overview When I started off, my goal was simply to subdivide 3D meshes. I wanted to add more geometry to simple meshes so that I could apply programmatic deformation like greebling and noise to give them increased detail and realism in procedurally and semi-procedurally-generated scenes. It turns out that basic mesh subdivision is indeed very...

Over the past few years, I've built several different interactive embedding visualizations. I have a big interest in exploring and understanding things in a free-form manner, and these kinds of tools feel to me like an extremely effective way of facilitating that sort of experience. My work in this area started out as an experiment using data I...
