Accurate Analytic Approximations for Real-Time Specular Area Lighting

Is it just me or is this 2015 SIGGRAPH paper really exciting?

However, I haven't seen any discussions about it yet, and the paper itself is ridiculously light on details. The video has more math in it than the paper!

It smells like patented.

It smells like patented.

Yeah I just saw a twitter convo where people were expressing that fear. The author has a long list of patents covering their research publications apparently...

Good news from that convo was that Epic's Brian Karis claims to have independently invented a similar but different technique. Hopefully he shares his findings in the future :)

Glanced at it, seemed neat but too expensive, or did I get the wrong impression?

Impressive...

Nice.

Some years ago I spent some time on approximating area lights in a way I could consider passable... I decided to push it in the future and I can totally see that decision as correct.
