    IT's worth linking directly to the talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNO_CYUjMK8

    (Also, after the first few slides in the animation, there are some pretty cool animations).

    Everything I've ever encountered on acko.net has been amazing.

    My favorite: http://acko.net/blog/animate-your-way-to-glory/

    Beautiful!

    I don't have much more to add unfortunately. Love the approach.

    Really good slides. I should watch the talk.

    It's a pet peeve of mine for people to suggest blurring as a "fix" to aliasing problems. Hacks are fine for one-offs, but I love how this clearly shows it's a sampling problem and what tools can do to address it.

    I'm looking for some resources for signed distance functions and something beyond min,max etc. I'm aware of iq's website and all the things that have "made rounds" around internet.

    I guess by "Dance," he's means the slow dance, because visiting the site pegs my CPU 100% and none of the controls work.

    Anybody knows where can I learn about the math(probably linear algebra) that is used to convert 3d models from object space to 2d screen space?
