NNTC viewing example which uses VK_NV_cooperative_vector
The NNTC Vulkan sample is working (3000+ lines of .cpp later). It supports VK_NV_cooperative_vector for decoding.So the same inference hardware the neural guys are using benefits NNTC, too. I'll have...
View ArticleNotes on NNTC vs. neural texturing
NNTC (here on GitHub) uses a bilinear/degree-2 polynomial decoder fitted to each PBR material (i.e. a degree-2 polynomial whose only quadratic terms are the products between the two latents). Other...
View ArticleNNTC repo now on GitHub
NNTC ("Not Neural Texture Compression") is a two-latent PBR texture representation where the encoder fits the GPU sampling path, not a texel-only reconstruction. The GitHub repo is...

This is mirrored from my X post.This is very image codec specific: Normally a DCT-based (JPEG style) codec has mosquito/ringing noise especially on text. But within a neural texture/image codec that...

The existing neural texture work has made the entire space overly complicated.The first step beyond GPU textures is to essentially keep the current GPU texture-style latent, but replace the fixed...
