I remember there was an article with a black background and orange color theme, depicting the concepts of light scattering with code samples and interactive demos. It was amazing. Anyone happen to remember where that was?

Was it like a kinda raytracing style thing using lines and you could place reflectors? It rings a bell…

It wasn’t that one (didn’t work on my phone, will try desktop). The article was in a format similar to @MaximeHeckel’s here: [image] Maxime @MaximeHeckel 📝 New Blog Post 📝 Over the past few month I experimented building beautiful shaders of cloudscapes with Volumetric Raymarching Thi…

this one? [image] Maxime @MaximeHeckel 📝 New Blog Post 📝 In this article, I share everything I learned to recreate a beautiful dispersion with shaders 🌈 I deep dive into how you can use light and its properties to recreate amazing 3D effects for your next React Three Fiber project 🪄 b…

That’s a nice one but it isn’t the one. I took a look at all of Maxime’s posts (very nice!). But the one I remember was about volumetric lighting or light scattering, and how light bounces off objects, and goes around objects to illumate objects behind other objects (like ambient light remnants aft…

it’s called ssgi, screen space global illumination. i know only one person that’s close to cracking it runtime https://twitter.com/0beqz or maybe two https://twitter.com/N8Programs/status/1718274265328296409

The article I saw was several years ago with live examples. The format was very similar to Maxime’s articles with text interleaved with interactive samples explaining concepts along the way. Someone has to remember it! It was about light bending/scattering around walls. A black website with orange …

The one I have in mind is a separate site. But that one is interesting, although closed source.

How about Dynamic, Noise Free, Screen Space Diffuse Global Illumination

Where's that excellent article on light scattering with interactive examples again?

Was it a stand alone site or on the forum here? I remember the thread gentle-light-probing by @Usnul very similar to what you describe…
