Are you the author? I love comparisons like this and wish there were more. I believe that in the US it's common to prepare a survey for one's Master's Degree thesis. Can anyone confirm or deny that? I really really wish that people published their thesii, since they're an absolutely invaluable source of info that's typically not available anywhere else. (Except scraps distributed across dozens of blog posts...) I'd like to make that happen, but I don't know how. It'd have to be something catchy and viral.

I am the author. I'm not from the US, so no idea about your thesis question. I did my thesis many years ago, so this investigation is completely not related to that topic :)

  > I am the author. Cool. Thanks for publishing your research! What was your thesis topic, if you don't mind sharing?

    > What was your thesis topic, if you don't mind sharing? "Rendering Soft Shadows in Real Time" (https://aras-p.info/texts/files/ArasPranckevicius_Magistras_low.pdf https://aras-p.info/texts/files/ArasPranckevicius_Magistras_...), which was an overview of rendering techniques from that era (2005), and also two new approaches that were both kinda silly in retrospect :)
