CGDC Announces Another Graphic Expert as Speaker
Recently, CGDC Organizing Committee announced another graphic expert as speaker: Tianyun Ni. CGDC Organizing Committee proclaims that the graphic performance does not decide the success of a game, however, it is a very important element for a product, the senior graphic processing expert is also member of jury duty of SIGGRAPH and other technical conferences, we believe that her speech will initiate a breakthrough to the development of graphic technology in the game industry.


Dr. Tianyun Ni

Topic: “DirectX11 and Tessellation Tutorial”

Content Summary?

This talk provides a comprehensive overview of Direct3D11 tessellation technology and a comparison between various tessellation schemes. It demonstrates how to leverage Direct3D11 tessellation to take your games to the next level. Concepts are introduced progressively and illustrated with step-by-step walkthroughs, including examples of shader code and live demos. It also addresses crucial practical issues, such as watertight evaluation and displacement mapping, creases and corners, LOD (tessellation factors) computation, and how to minimize artifacts caused by tessellation patterns. Finally and most importantly, we will present a few breathtaking practical examples and demonstrate how these advanced techniques have been adopted into gaming source engines.

Introduction to Speaker:

Dr. Tianyun Ni is a senior 3D Graphics Engineer/Researcher on NVIDIA’s Developer Technology team.
