youtube.com/watch?v=bwJgifqv… Proud to present our paper: Augmented Vertex Block Descent This is a new physics solver which can accurately simulate HUGE numbers of objects in real time! Demo code coming later this week. Checkout the project page for details: graphics.cs.utah.edu/researc…

I'm vibe coding a new *GPU rigid body physics engine* from scratch for @levelsio 's #vibejam ! 💥 - Supports Rust & Web (via WASM WebGPU) - 100% written by @anthropic 's Claude Code Opus 4.6 - Performance optimized by @karpathy / @uditg 's autoresearch: github.com/uditgoenka/autore… - Uses Augmented Vertex Block Descent (AVBD) paper: graphics.cs.utah.edu/researc…

Finally got around to finishing the minimal 3D example implementation of AVBD: github.com/savant117/avbd-de… You can play with the prebuilt web demo here: graphics.cs.utah.edu/researc…

🎉 A big congratulations to the #SIGGRAPH2025 Real-Time Live! Best in Show winner, "InfiniteStudio: 4D Volumetric Capture for Film Making and Beyond," and Audience Choice winner "Crazy Fast Physics! Augmented Vertex Block Descent in Action!"👏✨ These awe-inspiring presentations wowed audiences and showcased the very best of real-time innovation. Join us in celebrating their success by sharing your cheers and reactions in the comments below! 🥳👏 s2025.siggraph.org/program/r… photo by Matthias von Loebell © 2025 ACM SIGGRAPH

If you are attending Siggraph this year, please come see our talk later today on Augmented Vertex Block Descent (AVBD). We will also be showing a live demo at Real Time Live shortly after!

Added post stabilization to the AVBD example implementation. This removes one of the tuning parameters, which should help make implementing the method a little easier: github.com/savant117/avbd-de…

Made it on two minute papers, my work is done! Kidding, many improvements to come 😉

For anyone who is interested in implementing our new method Augmented Vertex Block Descent (AVBD), you can find the source code for the 2D demo implementation here: github.com/savant117/avbd-de… You can also play with the demo in your browser! graphics.cs.utah.edu/researc…

Nuke walkthrough

Artists are the real heroes! Credit to @schm_and for this awesome map. #screenshotsaturday #VoxelGameDev

Showing off some different PBR materials and emissive lighting. Each voxel uniquely encodes its material information which includes metalness, roughness, albedo, and emissive.

What a pretty object

Creating tools for building voxel worlds. Trying to emulate MagicaVoxel as much as possible. You can also paint voxels using "brushes" imported from .vox files. #magicavoxel #VoxelGameDev

Looking for some MagicaVoxel scenes to test my renderer. If anyone has any that they are willing to share, please get in touch! #magicavoxel #voxelart #VoxelGameDev

I added a few features to my @rustlang CSG pathtracer: day/night lighting, volumetric fog (thanks to @Atrix256 @EzeroGames), and just for fun a subtle amount of color grading and vignette. I think next steps will be to do something about that horrible ghosting.

Dynamic resolution plays very well with a fully raytraced pipeline. I can turn on all the bells and whistles while keeping 60 FPS on any DX11 hardware (this shot is from an Intel UHD 620). The voxel style seems to hide low resolutions very well.
