113	Massively parallel rendering of complex closed-form implicit surfaces	Matthew J. Keeter	We present a new method for directly rendering complex closed-form implicit surfaces on modern GPUs, taking advantage of their massive parallelism.
114	Neural supersampling for real-time rendering	Lei Xiao, Salah Nouri, Matt Chapman, Alexander Fix, Douglas Lanman, Anton Kaplanyan	The main insight of our work is that in rendered content, the image pixels are point-sampled, but precise temporal dynamics are available.
115	Path-space differentiable rendering	Cheng Zhang, Bailey Miller, Kai Yan, Ioannis Gkioulekas, Shuang Zhao	In this paper, we show how path integrals can be differentiated with respect to arbitrary differentiable changes of a scene.
116	Penrose: from mathematical notation to beautiful diagrams	Katherine Ye, Wode Ni, Max Krieger, Dor Ma’ayan, Jenna Wise, Jonathan Aldrich, Joshua Sunshine, Keenan Crane	We introduce a system called Penrose for creating mathematical diagrams.
117	Polar stroking: new theory and methods for stroking paths	Mark J. Kilgard	Guided by our theory, we develop a novel polar stroking method to render stroked paths robustly with an intuitive way to bound the tessellation error without needing recursion.
118	Radiative backpropagation: an adjoint method for lightning-fast differentiable rendering	Merlin Nimier-David, Sébastien Speierer, Benoît Ruiz, Wenzel Jakob	We introduce radiative backpropagation, a fundamentally different approach to differentiable rendering that does not require a transcript, greatly improving its scalability and efficiency.
119	Robust fitting of parallax-aware mixtures for path guiding	Lukas Ruppert, Sebastian Herholz, Hendrik P. A. Lensch	We introduce a parallax-aware distribution model based on parametric mixtures.
120	Spatiotemporal reservoir resampling for real-time ray tracing with dynamic direct lighting	Benedikt Bitterli, Chris Wyman, Matt Pharr, Peter Shirley, Aaron Lefohn, Wojciech Jarosz	We introduce a new algorithm—ReSTIR—that renders such lighting interactively, at high quality, and without needing to maintain complex data structures.
121	Specular manifold sampling for rendering high-frequency caustics and glints	Tizian Zeltner, Iliyan Georgiev, Wenzel Jakob	In this article, we propose a surprisingly simple and general sampling strategy for specular light paths including the above examples, unifying the previously disjoint areas of caustic and glint rendering into a single framework.
122	The design and evolution of the UberBake light baking system	Dario Seyb, Peter-Pike Sloan, Ari Silvennoinen, Micha? Iwanicki, Wojciech Jarosz	We describe the design and evolution of UberBake, a global illumination system developed by Activision, which supports limited lighting changes in response to certain player interactions.
123	Variance-aware path guiding	Alexander Rath, Pascal Grittmann, Sebastian Herholz, Petr Vévoda, Philipp Slusallek, Jaroslav K?ivánek	We present a generic procedure to derive theoretically optimal target densities for local path guiding.
