Update to the light scattering sample is now available for download. The technique demonstrated in the original sample was capable of rendering directional light source only. This sample shows how the base approach can be extended to support spot and point light sources.
Here are my entries for the Perceptual Challenge submitted a few Wednesday's ago. To add more value to the Show&Tell, I thought I’d also include my lessons learned while making each of these apps.
We definitely lost one of our nine lives this week with integrating face tracking into our game, but we still have our cat’s eyes, and are still feel very confident that we will be able to show a stellar game at GDC. On the face tracking end of things we had some big wins. We are finally happy with the speed of the algorithms, and the way things are being tracked will work perfectly for putting into Kiwi Catapult Revenge. We completed some complex math to create very realistic perspective shiting in Unity.
When you profile your software with VTune™ Amplifier XE you often start from looking at the top function hotspots list. This allows you to see what functions are spending CPU resources, so you can focus your optimization efforts.
Function call counts can provide some additional information to assist in further optimization.
Most of this week have been used to work on the Interface library you can see a demo of here:
VTune™ Amplifier XE Call Stack Pane
The call stack pane is displayed in viewpoints of analysis types that include stack data. It is displayed on the right side of the viewpoint (highlighted below in a gold box).

This is currently a placeholder for Intel® Trace Analyzer and Collector usage guides. Until articles are added, please visit the Intel® Trace Analyzer and Collector product page. You can also view the documentation.
Filtering in the Intel® Trace Collector will apply specified filters to the trace collection process. This directly reduces the amount of data collected. The filter rules can be applied either via command line arguments or in a configuration file (specified by the environment variable VT_CONFIG). Filters are evaluated in the order they are listed.
Filters consist of three components, type, pattern, and body. The basic filter is of type STATE. The other types, SYMBOL and ACTIVITY, apply pattern replacements, but are otherwise identical to STATE.
