SEED’s Chris Lewin delivered this terrific presentation at SIGGRAPH 2024 a few weeks back. It’s about a novel formulation of MPM that is stable at any time step while remaining easy to implement. Check out the video and download the paper! ea.com/seed/news/siggraph202…
Gigi enables rapid prototyping of new rendering algorithms, and efficient porting to game engines. At SEED and Electronic Arts we use this to accelerate research and streamline integration into multiple engines at once. Gigi, developed by Alan Wolfe, is now open source.
SEED is delighted to announce that Gigi, an innovative tool for rapid prototyping of rendering techniques, is now open source and available to the public! Congrats to Alan Wolfe for spearheading this project!

GIBS ray traced GI is finally in the wild. It has been a great collaboration with SEED, Frostbite and the College Football team. Thanks to the great artists and lighters at CFB for making the tech shine.
Our work got a mention from ESPN!
Inside this profile piece on EA College Football is a great shoutout for GIBS, an awesome lighting tool spearheaded by SEED's own @staerlor used to light the stadiums! Congrats!

Did you notice the realistic cloth deformation and wrinkles for NFL player jerseys in Madden? This was done using an ML based cloth simulation technique called Swish. Check out the innovation in game ➡ lnkd.in/gVKGwKDn

Could you jitter a VR/AR display at high frame rate for temporal in-eye super-resolution? Cameras can do this on the capture side cave.cs.columbia.edu/project…
Human comments may become the minority and the difference will be hard to spot. Bots will be eloquent, armed with enormous information, and tuned to win you over.
