TinyBVH has just been 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝟭.𝟴.𝟬. For CPU ray tracing, it is now the fastest option in most cases - Outperforming Intel Embree and Madmann91 for BVH build time and single-ray performance. On GPU, performance exceeds 4B rays per second - 4 rays per pixel at 4k/120Hz. github.com/jbikker/tiny...

Remember it's not too late to get on board with this. I think it's important to stand up for underrepresented people even in minor ways. You can always send your submissions to TOG which has a new EIC and new faster turn around times. #SIGGRAPHAsia 2026

About 6 months ago, I publicly announced that I would be boycotting #SIGGRAPHAsia 2026. Today, I released a video explaining my rationale and calling on others to do the same, because I believe it is important. Here it is: youtu.be/bZ6s0-EQp8M

Our Y1 IGAD programming students just finished the Ray Tracing block. After the basics, many added depth of field, path tracing, reprojection, filtering (including SVGF), a Teardown-style TLAS, and much more. (by the way.. You can still sign up for CMGT/BUas before May 1st - be quick!) #thisisigad

@cemyuksel.com I’m with you, I definitely will not see you at SIGGRAPH Asia No submissions, no reviewing, no service.

I could not be more disappointed in the management of SIGGRAPH for this, the most spineless of PR blog posts. Count me as someone who will not have their name on any submission to SIGAsia 2026. If enough of us withhold the content they sorely need, maybe next time they will engage more earnestly.

Why Boycott SIGGRAPH Asia 2026?

I am boycotting #SIGGRAPHAsia 2026 because it will be in Malaysia, where there are serious safety concerns for the LGBTQ+ members of our community, thereby excluding them. I will not attend, submit my work to, or perform any reviews for SIGGRAPH Asia 2026. Yet, I'm excited about #SIGGRAPHAsia 2025!
