Graphics thesis topics??

[dreamy cargo]

Hey!
So I’m doing my masters at the moment in game programming and come to the time I need to find a thesis subject for my dissertation, I know I wanna do it in graphics programming for games working with either volumetric or meshes/LOD but I can’t think of a problem to solve in these areas
Anyone got any ideas?

You could look into:

Virtualized Geometry (i.e. Nanite)
Mesh Slicing

Volumetrics sounds fun, could also consider FFT waves and/or cube marching vertex manipulation. GPU instanced (indirect) culling with LOD could be a fun problem to solve too. Could also do some general heightmap terrain slider and gui, then develop the lighting and shadow mapping algorithms for it all.
