The Render Vault started with a simple idea: to share experiences, opinions, and knowledge about computer graphics.
The goal is to build a kind of vault; a place where different topics can live together and connect in meaningful ways. From rendering, shaders, materials, and 3D workflows to industry trends, open standards, and the role of AI, this site is meant to be a space for exploration, learning, and perspectives.
This is not a place that claims to have the one “correct” answer for everything. Instead, it is a place where research, hands on experience, and curiosity come together to offer thoughtful perspectives on the world of computer graphics.
Who is behind The Render Vault?
Hello! My name is Isaac, and I’m the person behind The Render Vault.
I am a Computer Science Engineer with more than 10 years of experience working in the industry. Over the years, I’ve worked with technologies such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, 3D Viewers, Engine Tooling, and other graphics related systems.
I currently work at IKEA in Sweden, where I continue to explore the connection between technology, graphics, and practical applications.
This blog is a personal project; a place where I can collect ideas, share what I learn, and reflect on topics that I believe are worth discussing.
How does it work?
I try to publish at least twice per week.
I prefer to take the time to write something that feels meaningful, thoughtful, and worth reading. I’m not interested in publishing content just for the sake of publishing, or in building articles from a simple prompt or a quick search alone.
Part of this blog is also a form of learning for me. Writing helps me organize ideas, connect topics, challenge assumptions, and deepen my own understanding and I hope that process creates something valuable for you as well.
The use of AI
Yes, I use AI but in a limited and intentional way.
For me, AI is mainly a tool for planning, organization, research support, and spelling or language refinement. What I do not want is a blog built on “prompt and publish.” That is not interesting to me, and it does not reflect the kind of work I want to share here.
I have my own views on the use of AI, and one of the goals of this site is to explore that topic honestly and critically. If AI is used here, it should support the process not replace the thought behind it.
My goal is always to publish something valuable: something shaped by reflection, experience, and genuine curiosity.
