Rendering Tiny Glades With Entirely Too Much Ray Marching
Graphics Programming Conference

A Graphics Programming Conference talk on how the game Tiny Glade renders meadows, trees and player-built castles. It covers real-time global illumination, tilt-shift depth of field, stable shadows with continuous time of day, ray marching and GPU-driven rendering on old hardware.
Cited as a talk full of rendering tricks, and as an example of what a small team can do with custom tech.
