ACM Graphics details RCPG: Real-Time Product Path Guiding Using Radiance Cascades, a rendering technique aimed at making path guiding practical in real time. The paper appears in ACM Transactions on Graphics, Volume 46, Issue 2, spanning pages 1-25 and dated April 2027. For graphics programmers, …
ACM Graphics details a neural frame streaming framework for end-cloud collaborative rendering that uses a simultaneous prior to improve how frames are transmitted and reconstructed. The core idea is to push more of the rendering burden into a cloud-assisted pipeline while using learned priors to …
ACM Graphics details HIL: Hybrid Imitation Learning for Dynamic Athletic Control, a research paper in ACM Transactions on Graphics, Volume 46, Issue 2, spanning pages 1-16 and dated April 2027. The work focuses on athletic movement, where characters need to react quickly while still looking …
ACM Graphics details a worst-case non-parametric shape optimization method published in ACM Transactions on Graphics, Volume 46, Issue 2, spanning pages 1-15 in April 2027. The work sits squarely in the kind of geometry research that can influence how teams think about robust asset and …
ACM Graphics details Energy-Controllable Time Integration for Elastodynamic Contact, a new approach aimed at making deformable-body simulation behave more predictably when objects collide and compress. The core idea is to give developers tighter control over how energy evolves during contact, which is exactly where many …
ACM Graphics details ShapeLib, a library of programmatic 3D shape abstractions designed with Large Language Models. Published in ACM Transactions on Graphics, Volume 46, Issue 2, the work frames LLMs as a partner in building reusable shape systems instead of only producing isolated outputs. That …
arXiv cs.GR details GaussianBench, a physics-fidelity evaluation suite for physics-integrated Gaussian scene representations. The goal is to move beyond “looks right” rollouts and test whether a system’s internal mechanics actually hold up when scenes are pushed by new forces, material edits, contact, or thermal effects. …
arXiv cs.GR details WorldBench, a benchmark and judge for open-ended Three.js voxel worlds generated by large language models. The core idea is simple: if a model can write an interactive 3D world, evaluation should inspect the running scene, not just a handful of renders or …
arXiv cs.GR details OuroWorld, a new framework for turning static 3D Gaussian Splatting scenes into endlessly looping 3D cinemagraphs. The pitch is straightforward for real-time and content teams: take an explorable 3D scene and make it feel alive, with motion that stays coherent from different …
arXiv cs.GR details BrickBench, a benchmark for agentic text-conditioned LEGO-set design that asks an AI agent to produce an assembly matching a prompt while still being physically buildable. The setup pushes models to choose from a discrete parts library and reason across both local fit …
arXiv cs.GR details SubDGuide, a modeler-inspired agentic workflow for reconstructing subdivision surfaces from dense meshes. The key idea is to let a planner reason about cage resolution, feature mapping, and broad-form fitting, while geometry tools handle every actual vertex or connectivity change. That separation matters …
arXiv cs.GR details FeatureZ, a new lossy compression framework for structured volumetric scalar fields that aims to preserve derived geometric and topological features, not just raw sample values. The work targets data used in scientific visualization, where losing an isosurface, merge tree, or Morse-Smale complex …
