SIGGRAPH Talk on Neural Shading
MonaJalal_ · x · 2026-07-20
This SIGGRAPH presentation focuses on neural shading: using a tiny MLP to map texture coordinates (uv) to RGB colors.
The visual shows a two-layer structure with 32 nodes per layer and 1251 total parameters. It uses Slang to connect layer inputs/outputs and Python to allocate and optimize additional layers. The author shared result images showing that the model's output looks "better/smoother" compared to the reference image.
