The document discusses the flexible shader system used in Star Ocean 4. It describes how artists can create shaders in Maya without needing a programmer. Shaders are generated at runtime from the shader nodes created by artists. This allows for flexibility but resulted in large shader cache files during development due to the high number of possible shader variations. Solutions such as limiting shader adaptors and non-generated shaders helped reduce the file size.
Graphics Gems from CryENGINE 3 (Siggraph 2013)Tiago Sousa
This lecture covers rendering topics related to Crytek’s latest engine iteration, the technology which powers titles such as Ryse, Warface, and Crysis 3. Among covered topics, Sousa presented SMAA 1TX: an update featuring a robust and simple temporal antialising component; performant and physically-plausible camera related post-processing techniques such as motion blur and depth of field were also covered.
Rendering Technologies from Crysis 3 (GDC 2013)Tiago Sousa
This talk covers changes in CryENGINE 3 technology during 2012, with DX11 related topics such as moving to deferred rendering while maintaining backward compatibility on a multiplatform engine, massive vegetation rendering, MSAA support and how to deal with its common visual artifacts, among other topics.
Taking Killzone Shadow Fall Image Quality Into The Next GenerationGuerrilla
This talk focuses on the technical side of Killzone Shadow Fall, the platform exclusive launch title for PlayStation 4.
We present the details of several new techniques that were developed in the quest for next generation image quality, and the talk uses key locations from the game as examples. We discuss interesting aspects of the new content pipeline, next-gen lighting engine, usage of indirect lighting and various shadow rendering optimizations. We also describe the details of volumetric lighting, the real-time reflections system, and the new anti-aliasing solution, and include some details about the image-quality driven streaming system. A common, very important, theme of the talk is the temporal coherency and how it was utilized to reduce aliasing, and improve the rendering quality and image stability above the baseline 1080p resolution seen in other games.

Talk by Graham Wihlidal (Frostbite Labs) at GDC 2017.
Checkerboard rendering is a relatively new technique, popularized recently by the introduction of the PlayStation 4 Pro. Many modern game engines are adding support for it right now, and in this talk, Graham will present an in-depth look at the new implementation in Frostbite, which is used in shipping titles like 'Battlefield 1' and 'Mass Effect Andromeda'. Despite being conceptually simple, checkerboard rendering requires a deep integration into the post-processing chain, in particular temporal anti-aliasing, dynamic resolution scaling, and poses various challenges to existing effects. This presentation will cover the basics of checkerboard rendering, explain the impact on a game engine that powers a wide range of titles, and provide a detailed look at how the current implementation in Frostbite works, including topics like object id, alpha unrolling, gradient adjust, and a highly efficient depth resolve.
Secrets of CryENGINE 3 Graphics TechnologyTiago Sousa
In this talk, the authors will describe an overview of a different method for deferred lighting approach used in CryENGINE 3, along with an in-depth description of the many techniques used. Original file and videos at http://crytek.com/cryengine/presentations
The presentation describes Physically Based Lighting Pipeline of Killzone : Shadow Fall - Playstation 4 launch title. The talk covers studio transition to a new asset creation pipeline, based on physical properties. Moreover it describes light rendering systems used in new 3D engine built from grounds up for upcoming Playstation 4 hardware. A novel real time lighting model, simulating physically accurate Area Lights, will be introduced, as well as hybrid - ray-traced / image based reflection system.
We believe that physically based rendering is a viable way to optimize asset creation pipeline efficiency and quality. It also enables the rendering quality to reach a new level that is highly flexible depending on art direction requirements.
Bill explains some of the ways that the Vertex Shader can be used to improve performance by taking a fast path through the Vertex Shader rather than generating vertices with other parts of the pipeline in this AMD technology presentation from the 2014 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco March 17-21.

Make sure to check out the 118 page course notes on: http://www.frostbite.com/2014/11/moving-frostbite-to-pbr/
During the last few months, we have revisited the concept of image quality in Frostbite. The core of our approach was to be as close as possible to a cinematic look. We used the concept of reference to evaluate the accuracy of produced images. Physically based rendering (PBR) was the natural way to achieve this. This talk covers all the different steps needed to switch a production engine to PBR, including the small details often bypass in the literature.
The state of the art of real-time PBR techniques allowed us to achieve good overall results but not without production issues. We present some techniques for improving convolution time for image based reflection, proper ambient occlusion handling, and coherent lighting units which are mandatory for level editing.
Moreover, we have managed to reduce the quality gap, highlighted by our systematic reference comparison, in particular related to rough material handling, glossy screen space reflection, and area lighting.
The technical part of PBR is crucial for achieving good results, but represents only the top of the iceberg. Frostbite has become the de facto high-end game engine within Electronic Arts and is now used by a large amount of game teams. Moving all these game teams from “old fashion” lighting to PBR has required a lot of education, which have been done in parallel of the technical development. We have provided editing and validation tools to help the transition of art production. In addition, we have built a flexible material parametrisation framework to adapt to the various authoring tools and game teams’ requirements.

Why Graphics Is Fast, and What It Can Teach Us About Parallel ProgrammingJonathan Ragan-Kelley
Graphics has been at the forefront of the resurgence in parallel computation. Real-time graphics and games have been the source of many of today’s new programming models and architectures for parallel computation. Modern games are arguably the only successful mainstream application of highly parallel programming in heterogeneous, million-line codebases. But while graphics is thought of as an embarrassingly parallel application, there has been little success in implementing high-performance graphics systems in any single general-purpose parallel programming model, ironically including those which have come from the GPGPU community.
I will talk about key patterns of parallelism and locality used in graphics pipelines and games, and how existing tools and monolithic programming models fail to express these patterns with sufficient efficiency. I will try to synthesize some directions for future programming systems based on this experience, including my current thoughts for how a compile-time continuation passing transform could help formalize patterns emerging in how high performance systems are manually overcoming the limitations of existing GPU programming models.
This talk will be at least as much informal, educational and speculative as it will be about any currently active research.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
