Tianyu Huang
Third-year undergraduate @ School of Software, Tsinghua University.
My research focuses on physically based computer graphics and computational geometry, which is supported by my background in theoretical and computational physics.
I have been collaborating with Prof. Feng Xu @ THU and Prof. Shuang Zhao @ UCI on Monte Carlo methods for solving partial differential equations.
I am currently visiting Prof. Toshiya Hachisuka @ UWaterloo.

Guiding-Based Importance Sampling for Walk on Stars [G, Re, Si]
Tianyu Huang, Jingwang Ling, Shuang Zhao, and Feng Xu
ACM SIGGRAPH 2025
Drawing inspiration from path guiding in rendering, we propose a guiding-based importance sampling method to reduce the variance of walk on stars.
Service
- Teaching Assistant (Advanced Computer Graphics, IIIS), Fall 2025
Gallery [Ap, Re, Sh]
While doing graphics research, I am also an active amateur CG artist. I like to create still images with a realistic style, especially fan art of my favorite video games.
Projects
Eric’s MagicaVoxel Shaders [Re, Sh]
Shaders for MagicaVoxel including Terrain Generator, Game of Life, Waterflow Simulator, Advanced Flood Shader etc.
This is a well-known shader project that has been used in a lot of voxel art creations.
RENDERTOY 2 [Re]
RenderToy 2 is a PBR final project for the IIIS course Advanced Computer Graphics.
This project won the 1st place in the PBR track in the popularity vote at the end of the course.
