saw a video where somebody said "Huion" out loud and they pronounced it "hoo-yon" and I was like, oh, that makes sense actually. I was just kinda saying an H followed by several seconds of Moonbase Alpha vowel noises and hoping for the best

ooh yeah I've read this. Haven't dug into it enough to actually understand how the tiled shit works but it's insanely cool

been a while since I read it, but IIRC it doesn't actually talk about the shadow-filtering stuff I was speculating about on twitter. I think it mostly confirmed my guess that it's just regular PCSS with a huge radius

the paper's mostly concerned with how they generate the shadowmaps, with a ton of cool/novel work (no shadow cascades! fuck shadow cascades!). Once the maps are drawn, they could use any existing filtering technique, so the paper mostly skips that part
