Alpenglow Plan & Documentation

As a passionate software engineer, I develop free open-source educational tools for PhET Interactive Simulations, lead the development of their rendering engine, and pursue diverse personal projects.

Alpenglow is an experimental rasterizer that takes a scene description and efficiently produces a corresponding high-quality image.

Efficient filtering of polygonal shapes with closed-form solutions based on Green’s theorem with piecewise-polynomial filters (e.g. box/bilinear/bicubic).
