The Mathematics of Thin-Film Interference

This post continues our journey through the Mathematical foundations of iridescence. This time, we will discuss a new way in which material can split light: thin-film interference. This is how bubbles (and car paint) get their unique reflections.

Topographical Maps in Unity: Edge Detection

This tutorial will teach you how to recreate a very popular effect in games: topographical maps.

This is a two-part series, which will cover all the necessary aspects—from the Maths to the shader code—to make this possible:

In this second part, we will focus on the edge detection algorithm that will be used to draw the contours of the terrain.

Improving Floating-Point Precision in C#

This tutorial continues the journey to understand floating-point arithmetic, and how to improve the precision of modern programming language types.

At the end of this article, you will find a link to download a simple C# library that provides a new type which improves the precision of traditional float and double variables.
