Why don't high-res shadow maps produce aliasing artifacts due to minification?
Shadow quality generally improves with increased shadow map resolution (i.e. shadow edges are less "jagged"). I noticed this is also true for shadow maps with resolution far greater than the ...

Is there a quicker way to draw a symmetric, scale-invariant (declining color) gradient around an ellipse?
The goal is to generate a picture like this:
A symmetric color gradient around an ellipse which is rotated by $\theta$, has $(x_\circ,y_\circ)$ as center and and major and an minor axis $a,b$.
The ...

Properties of the image reconstruction filter in rendering
Let $f$ denote the measurement contribution function for paths of length $k\in\mathbb N$, i.e. $$f(x)=g(x_0\leftrightarrow x_1)W_{\text e}(x_1\to x_0)t_k(x_0,\ldots,x_k)L_{\text e}(x_k\to x_{k-1}),$$ ...
