Yazhen Yuan / 袁亚振

I am a Game Engine Specialist (T12) working at Tencent in Hangzhou, where i focus on building an in-house engine from scratch.

I received my Ph.D. from CAD&CG National Key Lab@Zhejiang University, under the supervision by Prof. Rui Wang and Prof. Hujun Bao.

I'm interested in Realtime rendering, Compute graphics, Artificial Intelligence.

Adaptive Recurrent Frame Prediction with Learnable Motion Vectors
Zhizhen Wu, Chenyu Zuo, Yuchi Huo, Yazhen Yuan, Yifan Peng, Guiyang Pu, Rui Wang, Hujun Bao
Siggrapha Asia, 2023   (Conferences Track)

Using learned motion vector and recurrent feature to extrapolate multiple frames for realtime rendering.

Multirate Shading with Piecewise Interpolatory Approximation
Yiwei Hu, Yazhen Yuan, Rui Wang, Zhuo Yang, Hujun Bao
Computer Graphics Forum, Proc. of Pacific Graphics (PG 2022).

We present a multirate shading approach via dynamic sparse sampling with piecewise linear reconstruction.

prl ShaderTransformer: Predicting Shader Quality via One-shot Embedding for Fast Simplification
Yuchi Huo, Shi Li, Yazhen Yuan, Xu Chen, Rui Wang, Wenting Zheng, H Lin, Hujun Bao
Siggrapha, 2022   (Conferences Track)

We use transformer to predict visual impact of shader’s variables and expressions for fast shader code simplification.

prl Tile pair-based adaptive multi-rate stereo shading
Yazhen Yuan, Rui Wang, Hujun Bao
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics , 2018   (IEEE VR 2019)

We found an useful tile pair structure and design a new gpu pipeline for efficient vr rendering.

prl Runtime shader simplification via instant search in reduced optimization space
Yazhen Yuan, Rui Wang, Tianlei Hu, Hujun Bao
Computer Graphics Forum , 2018   Proc. of Euro Graphics Symposium of Rendering (EGSR 2018)

We construct a graph to analysis relations between shader code variants, and search for fastest simplified shader during runtime.

prl Simplified and tessellated mesh for realtime high quality rendering
Yazhen Yuan, Rui Wang, Jing Huang, Jiaya Jia, Hujun Bao
Computers & Graphics , 2015   Proc. of CAD&Graphics 2015

For tessellation shader, we design a new mesh simplification and reconstruction method to render mesh with complexity geometry.

prl Automatic shader simplification using surface signal approximation
Rui Wang, Xianjin Yang, Yazhen Yuan, Wei Chen, Kavita Bala, Hujun Bao
ACM Transactions on Graphics, Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH ASIA, 2014

We can move shader code to different shader stages to find the optimal shader code variants.

prl GPU-based out-of-core many-lights rendering
Rui Wang, Yuchi Huo, Yazhen Yuan, Kun Zhou, Wei Hua,Hujun Bao
ACM Transactions on Graphics, Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH ASIA, 2013

We can render billions of lights on a single GPU.
