Luc Leblanc and Melino Conte from @ubisoft.com are sharing their lessons about Ray Tracing the World of Assassin's Creed Shadows in ACM SIGGRAPH 2025’s Advances in Real-time Rendering in Games
As the date for the 20th anniversary of Advances is coming, I realized some content was missing. Posted 2007 and 2008 courses online - check them out! advances.realtimerendering.com
Advances from 2008 had also introduced the first GPU-driven pipeline and AI using compute shaders, as well as scalable GPU-driven LOD pipeline including tessellation (albeit using DX10) in the Froblins. A trip down the memory lane. advances.realtimerendering.com/s2008/SIGGRA...
Advances 2007 was packed - the GPU particles intro, dynamic real-time wrinkle maps, GPU-friendly vector maps, real-time tessellation on GPU, tessellation in Viva Piñata on Xbox 360, terrain rendering from Frostbite, and many techniques from CryEngine 2. tinyurl.com/yv7zt4n6
