🌟 Comparing Rendering Techniques: Deferred vs. Pathtracer in Steam Leak Simulations 🌟 In this latest video of my Niagara Fluid Simulation series, I’m diving into the differences between deferred and pathtracer rendering using the same steam leak scenario. What I found particularly interesting is how the pathtracer, while slower, provides more accurate lighting. It’s especially notable in how it handles cast shadows on the ground from the steam leaks. This added precision really enhances the realism of the simulation. On the other hand, deferred rendering offers quicker results but with less nuanced light interaction. Comparing these techniques highlighted how each approach impacts the visual quality and performance of simulations. I’m eager to share more insights as I continue exploring the capabilities of the Niagara system. Stay tuned! #UnrealEngine #NiagaraSystem #FluidSimulation #RenderingTechniques #Pathtracer #DeferredRendering #GameDevelopment #VisualEffects

Implemented temporal accumulation and reflection reprojection for screen-space reflections in my renderer

In January, Nichia started a new blog series to explain that CRI is one of the important factors of light. In the 2nd blog post, Nichia will discuss specialty lighting applications which requires a higher CRI.   This post will explain which applications are categorized as specialty lighting, using actual examples. Additionally, Nichia will explore what kinds of light sources have been used in the past and introduce the ideal options.   Read the 2nd blog post via https://lnkd.in/ggtzj3kD   #nichia #led #lighting  

Introducing creative aerial finishing early in the foundation phase is a critical building block in order for players to find a solution to any situation in the box in the future.

One of my favorite shaders, revisited. The signed distance field shader. Comes in super useful for anything font-based. My new and improved signed distance field shader now supports a tiling albedo/PBR setup with an SDF-influencing alpha mask.

Use your imagination! enviroment made using dispacement map and octane render. Work in progress...

Idea inspiring video for designers of motion or mechanical systems. A quick visual can sometimes spark a whole new design approach

ClimateStudio 2.0 is now available. This major update includes a new multiversal daylighting engine, which lets users accurately model the impact of dynamic scene elements including seasonal vegetation and snow cover (as well as operable shades). The release also boosts simulation speed, expands the library of physically accurate material assets, and overhauls the thermal modeling workflow with simplified templates, parametrically controlled windows in Rhino, and select HVAC systems! This update is available now for current subscribers. Read more about the release, request a trial, and download the installer on our website (linked below). https://lnkd.in/gWdaSqbC #ClimateStudio #Solemma #BuildingPerformance #Daylight #Energy #Rhino8 #Grasshopper #Simulation
