An Introduction to DeepFakes

This tutorial will cover the theory and practice of creating deepfakes: videos in which faces have been swapped using Machine Learning and Deep Neural Networks. If you are interested in learning more about this novel technique, this is the course for you.

After a theoretical introduction, this course will focus on how to make the most out of the popular applications FakeApp and faceswap; most of the deepfakes you will find online (such as the ones featuring Nicolas Cage) have been created using them.

Learning Shaders

Making games is hard. Engines like Unity and Unreal have massively lowered the barrier to entry into this industry. And now that making games is easier than it has ever been before, developers are facing a new crisis. More and more people are joining this industry every day, making it harder to succeed in such an overcrowded market.

Many games that were popular and successful five years ago, would go mostly unnoticed today. More skills are needed to make a game stand out from its competitors, and this is why I believe that learning shaders is so important.

Shaders are the paintbrushes developers use to render graphics. The look and aesthetic of many iconic games, such as Journey, Antichamber and No Man’s Sky, was made possible only by the clever use of shaders.

Whether you are a new developer wanting to make games, or a veteran of the industry, learning how to write shaders can make the difference. This unusual tutorial pays homage to some of the best online content creators that you should know if you want to start your journey into shader coding. Continue reading

Atmospheric Scattering Shader

This tutorial finally concludes our journey to simulate Rayleigh Scattering for a planet’s atmosphere.

The next (and final) part will show how to change the shader to also include an additional type of scattering, known as Mie Scattering.

A Journey Through the Atmosphere

This post describes how to model the density of the atmosphere at different altitude. This is a critical step, since the atmospheric density is one of the parameters necessary to correctly calculate the Rayleigh scattering.

The Mathematics of Rayleigh Scattering

This post introduces the Mathematics of Rayleigh Scattering, which is the optical phenomenon that causes the sky to appear blue. The equations derived in this tutorial will be translated into shader code in the next tutorial.
