hi it’s mother’s day and i want attention
i’m izzy, a trans mom who hasn’t had fulltime employment in games since i got laid off 2 1/2 years ago (just before my little friend was born)
i’m funny and cool and everyone loves working with me. here’s a thread of cool and/or funny stuff i’ve worked on

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.

New Paper🙂
Nanite has shown that small triangles can be rendered fast in compute, we're exploring how fast for large meshes with up to 18.9 billion triangles, without the need to precompute LOD structures.

Seems like a bad time to post this but is there ever a good time?
Just putting it out there that my current contract ends in the middle of November and I'll once again be looking for work as a character rigger/technical artist in games. I have a wealth of experience. 13+ years. Remote only please❤️

New results! Computational models often rely on hand-crafted connectivity and imposed dynamics to produce traveling waves (TWs). We show how TWs can naturally emerge under biologically plausible conditions.

Brains have many pathways / subnetworks but which principles underlie their formation?
In our #NeurIPS paper lead by Jack Cook we identify biologically relevant inductive biases that create pathways in brain-like Mixture-of-Experts models🧵

In our SIGGRAPH Asia 2025 paper: “BSP-OT: Sparse transport plans between discrete measures in log-linear time” we get one with typically 1% of error in a few seconds on CPU!

❔How to compute bounding volumes for procedural Signed Distance Fields (SDFs)? This is not so trivial!
💡We propose a simple method called Sphere Carving. It extracts (convex) bounding volumes around SDFs, requires very few evaluations, and is GPU compatible.
