Sam Lapere: Passionate about real-time photoreal rendering with path tracing. Opinions are my own. Scientific visualization devtech at Nvidia. Led the scientific visualization team at the EPFL Blue Brain Project in Geneva. Co-founder and technical director at Lightspeed Graphics NZ, project lead at Auckland Uni, product manager for OctaneRender driving the development and release of 15 plugins (including Octane for Maya, Max, Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, Daz3D, Softimage, Modo and Sketchup) and the creative direction behind the Brigade real-time path tracing research project , photoreal 3D graphics consultant, medical imaging researcher and M.D. My tutorial series on GPU path tracing can be found on GitHub. Check my Youtube channel with pioneering research into real-time path tracing (2011-2013). Email: sam.lapere@live.be
