One could even call it "Material-based" Anti-Aliasing (MBAA) with a TAA fallback ...

Surface-based Anti-Aliasing (SBAA) does classification of the samples based on their depth range. Our surfaces or regions of samples in a pixel would be aggregated together based on their discontinuous depth ranges. We then shade a sample per each unique surface bordering each other in the same pixel ...

In MBAA, our regions of samples in a pixel will get classified according to our material. Unfilled samples in a pixel could be approximated from samples sharing the same material in our quad or they could be potentially switched within our quad ...

If we postulate that our regions of samples in a pixel will often share the same material and depth range then this might be a sound assumption. What would happen in a case where our regions of samples share the same material but they don't share the same depth range ? In this scenario, aliasing would almost certainly become a problem again because our discontinuous region of samples based on materials wouldn't correlate anymore with their depth ranges or more likely the edges of their surfaces ...

 

IMR vs TBR architectures by Daniel Rakos (Khronos Group representative for AMD)

 

It has not released yet - but the GDC presentation concerning scalable shadow solutions (Shadows of Cold War: A Scalable Approach to Shadowing) from Treyarch is brilliant. Really informative and well presented.

How long after the conference are presentations usually released to the public?

I'm really liking the visibility buffer stuff. Will be really interesting if MSAA makes a comeback.

The planets sampler feedback demo shown in that video is on github

GDKX still licensed but obviously that's just a few console specific api's in the grand scheme of things.

 

Software VRS with Visibility Buffer. Loving this series.

Noticed that this old good presentation on Stochastic rasterization was not here yet.
https://casual-effects.com/research/Enderton2012Stochastic/index.html

Idea of having sub frame time of rasterized/shaded sample is quite interesting, as it should allow proper motion blurred shading/lights/shadows in scene.

 

Pretty good video about optimal use of tile-based GPUs. Specific for Mali GL/Vulkan but a lot of these concepts map to similar logic on Apple Silicon/Metal (or Adreno GPUs).

Guy is an idea machine. Really cool. Each blog post is a new way to use the visibility buffer.
