Classic SSAO is very similar to performing an "unsharp mask" based on the depth buffer. This has been proposed "a simple and efficient method to enhance the perceptual quality of images that contain depth information" in

I’m not a scholar of the fall of SGI. But, I’m sure it has been documented in detail. AFAICT, SGI was a textbook Innovator’s Dilemma case with an expensive enterprise product that’s hard to give up in the face of cheap, low-margin competiti

But, if you made a mesh you wouldn’t be able to represent fuzzy objects. That’s one of the major advantages of both splats and this printing technique.

The original paper that kicked off the movement a few years ago used Gaussian blobs because gaussians are differentiable and the tech to analyze a scene requires the tech used for rendering to be differentiable. https://learnopen

Then there’s the opposite situation. I knew the guys who ported NBA Jam: TE from arcade to PC (by hand-translating assembly!). Apparently the arcade CPU had bitwise addressing. And, because pretty much all of the data was aligned to bytes,

Dynamic occlusion culling is pretty common these days now that the GPU can do its own filtering of the draw list. I think it goes like: Start with a list of objects that were visible last frame. Assume they are visible this frame. Go ahead
